Talking IS 350 wasnt in ECO mode

lol ok whatever.



as im coming home earlier in my GTO i see a car driving aggressively. i decide to investigate.


as i catch up to it at a light shortly later. i see its an AWD IS350.

IM A CAR BACK IN THE LEFT LANE THE DRIVER IN THE LEXUS IS UP FRONT in the middle lane. he takes off i pass around a car and give chase.

i caught up easily by third gear and hit 4th and proceeded to walk him after he had a decent head start. i backed off around 100 which i almost took a **** lol.

we catch each other at a light and give each other a thumbs up as he explains laughing how his ECO mode probably held him back.

im gonna have to doubt it did based on what they run. stock anyway.

but it was fun.

Since when do Challengers and chargers weigh only 3,600lbs?
The lightest Charger is still around 370lbs heavier than an IS350 and the lightest challenger is like 250lbs heavier.

The original so called review I read was totally off the mark, had me thinking it was 4100lbs. So I researched some more: The AWD version is quite a bit heavier, and the 2014+ models weigh more then the previous gens. For the record, my coworkers base model V6 Challenger weighed in at 3900lbs.

Note: it weighs more then a GTO.......

The 2015 RWD model is anywhere from 3,600-3,700lbs. That means they added an additional 150lbs in AWD components.
Whatever, at least you get a very nice interior and airbags on airbags.
