1988 IROC 5.7 vs 2008 Lexas IS250 AWD

This felt good....A friend of mine just bought a 2008 Lexus and thinks anything from the 80's is a piece of crap. He laughed when I told him that my IROC would smoke him...He thought I was a fool but agreed to put it to the test. We drove to a secluded road and dropped the hammer AND it wasnt even close--the IROC walked all over him (twice).
Afterwards he kept saying "I cant believe how bad you spanked me"...live and learn pal!

I'm sure his Lexus is nice too

What he loses in speed he makes up for in just about every other conceivable category

A kill is a kill though.

He bought the IS250 because of the luxury, AWD and the price. At the time he thought it was relatively fast but obviously isnt going to win any awards in the performance catagory. It is a very nice car though but for the money I would have bought a BMW M3.

I don't doubt it's an awesome car, it's just a 250? Why not the 350? How much extra is it anyways? And yeah, the M3 would have been better. Then again, I wouldn't mind having a 250. Only it's a 2.5L V6 with around 200 hp. Good economical luxury.
