Umm let me see 2002 Lexus IS 300:

3.0 V6
210 hp
220 ft/lbs
0-60 in 8.6 secs
1/4 in 16.6@84.4

All testing done by Edmunds

So which one of you is going to tell us the story and not leave us in the dark

Well.... it ran alot better than that. 15.8 @ 89 is what it ran. Lexus claims anywhere between 14.6 and 15.1 , so I am going to give them a call Monday just to give em hell. Our salesman thought I was joking when I said I planned to race it once it had enough miles on it... I made 2 passes in it, first was 15.8 @ 89, then I ran 15.9 @ 89, both with some tirespin out of the hole. My wife ran it the third time and did a 15.9 @ 89 , very consistant !!
