Default I raced a new Lexus IS350

We did about 5 or 6 races first 1 off a dig he got me due to me spinning, 2nd was off a 20 roll i got him by a small margin did a few more with same results. Next light we both stopped and talked about our cars, he said his car has a V6 with 306hp and can go 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. Thats quick for a stock car even though it prob weighs less then 4000 pounds. Then we both did a burnout, which helped me get a great start hardly spun at all. I pulled on him until he got about a car behind, when I shifted into second he stayed there maybe pulled up a little. I let off around 90 I didnt wanna get too crazy loll he drove by giving me the thumbs up and turned off on the next street.

Funny, I've only had 4 'races' in my SS... I'm not a fan of 'street racing' but if someone wants to go from a light, it's hard for me to turn that down. But back to why I thought this was funny is that I've beat 2 IS's and 2 TL's (non-type s). My dad has an 07 type s but we've yet to race...
