Death by Lexus Is 300
I was driving down the interstate when I witness a race between a Lexus Is 300 and a 80-90ish GT Mustang conv.. I was running about 70 when they flew by me at around 90-100 mph...The Lexus had a 5 car lead on the Stang when they passed me...I go ahead and give chase and catch up to the slowed down Lex after passing the beat down Stang...
I only pace him for about 30 seconds since I was sure he knew why I had come up fast on him...I get right beside him and give it a little gas and he goes. I floor it and kept it floored until he let off at a litle over 110mph....He had no more than 3/4 length on me from the jump....he gave me thumbs up and I went home smiling.....thats the first time I have driven my Jeep that fast and I must say it was still pulling pretty hard and felt great...

Re: Death by Lexus Is 300
Not bad. I believe the IS300's run somewhere in the low 15's to high 14's range stock. Considering you're driving an mid-size SUV, you did pretty good.
Taking a look at your mods, that Jeep must sound pretty nice at WOT, doesn't it? Bet it gives a good grumble. Good race.

Re: Death by Lexus Is 300
Good death, I guess...
My friend owns a IS300, pretty nice looking, and decently fast car, gotta admit... I asked him if he would run me, he took it as if I was joking, so I made it look like I was, but I really wasn't, though...

Re: Death by Lexus Is 300
Good run. I've heard the new IS350's are pretty freaking stout (Magazines have tested them to a high 13 sec. 1/4 mile). The old IS300 was a low 15 sec. car stock, but they were primarily designed for good cornering characteristics.

"Good cornering characteristics"...  . Kidding. I do like the IS300's. I think they are good looking cars.

Re: Death by Lexus Is 300
well, too bad im a day late. but when u go to the track, take out the back seats seriously. my friends old rain buddy had one of those v8 jeep cherokees and with the typhone intake and a straight back exhaust, ran a 14.3. i believe he used the brake gas launch. it was mean.

Re: Death by Lexus Is 300
I've been murdered by one while I was in St. Paul,MN. Went from a roll at about 60 and once I heard a bov..I knew I was in for it.
Left me in 4th, by the time I hit 100 he was 6 cars in front. Come to find out he has the single turbo setup for his 2jz...oh well.

I was with dad one time and a kid pulled up in a brand new one (we were in the rich part of town) and he had the Snoop Dog full blast and reved.
Long story short he got killed.

Re: Death by Lexus Is 300
Well I never got a chance to take it on the track, but I did get chance to watch alot of other cars line up....Alot of it is reaction time, once I would get going its floored all the way....I couldnt get my receiver off my Jeep and I was alone soI kinda just checked things out. That receiver has to wiegh about 50-60 lbs....I will take my back seat out as well...
What kinda Jeep did your friend drive? 99-04 GC with the 4.7 in it....In 98 they had a 5.9 liter and that motor has balls....

body styles def. not the same...the 98 with the 5.9 has hood vents on it and has more of a box front end as with all 90's-98... wouldnt mind having one of those 5.9 jeeps...with the right stuff can run 13's easy....as with anything I guess
