I intend buying 2010 Lexus IS 350 FSport. Foreign Used.
What are the pros and cons?
Did a test drive and the car moves smooth.

Although the traction control dashboard light is on and ABS.

Get that ABS light looked at. It could be something major, which is a rather expensive repair on those cars.

Otherwise, good car. Enjoy the power. There aren't a lot of regular cars on the road that'd be able to keep up with you.

Any M series by BMW will eat that car for lunch, and still want more calories.

"Regular cars".

But you want to tell us that you know a lot.

I know you will come out from that angle.

BMW M series is not really a regular car par say, but it can't also be classified to be a unique car.

As long as its below $90k, its regular, can be easily seen and used on the street.

Go to town and count how many Lamborghini, Ferrari and the likes that you see, when you count 2,you've already seen 10 BMW M series car.

I know you must have gotten my drift.

Yea, nice drifting away

Na Nigeria we dey ooo! A $90k car is not regular.
M series BMW aint no regular machine, even the FSport aint regular abeg.

2011 Camry V6 will chase dat Lexus is350 any day any time.. trust me

Do as you were told op. So you won't lick your wounds in private.

Look before you leap.
1. The Lexus has more power.
2. The Lexus is rear wheel drive.
3. The Lexus' peak torque at the RPM is higher.
4. The Lexus has lower ground clearance, thus more resistance to drag.

Am not arguing I know the Lexus has more power abt 306hp while the Camry has abt 268hp.. but it depends on the driver to oo..

they are regular cars out there dat will compete with the is350 don't doubt sir.

Of course. But a Camry isn't one of them.

I doubt you know what an Is350 is.

That sedan is quick!
No mainstream Toyota vehicle with a 6 cylinder can keep with its pace bar the supra.

Yes for manoeuvring and cornering. But on a straight line, it's about the car

Ever heard of torque vectoring drive systems or limited slip diff?


No pray to meet a car with torque vectoring drive system or limited slip differential...
Even with an averagely experienced driver, e go hard to catch am when e drive cars with such systems.

Exactly.
In a drag race, its all about the car. Unlike other races.
LSD isn't even important in a drag race.
Factors in a drag race include torque, power, drag coefficient, weight, gearbox (manual, torque converter, dual-clutch auto, etc), engine type (naturally aspirated, turbocharged, supercharged, electric, hybrid), etc.

Even around corners, you can a car driven by an average driver having a limited slip diff or torque vectoring diffrrential with thicker swaybar in front, and a skid control active traction control system will be difficult to beat by an experienced driver.

False. Very false.

That's why I said drag race.
Straight line start to finish. No corners

Traction for launches. LSD's ensure that the two opposite wheels can rotate at different speeds, so even if one wheel has no traction, the other can hook up.


Very important for launches.

LSDs improve grip on the wheel with more traction on that axle. This gives better launch/take off.

Oh oh.
I always thought it was more useful when approaching corners and for offroading.
