Can an is350 beat an sti? my manager just got an sti, and i drive an is350 with the luxury package.. he's never had an sti and keeps talkin a lot of crap about it being faster.. i never bought the is350 with racing in mind.. i just loved the car, the luxury and everything.. but i want to show him up so i got a few questions:
1. if i were to race him, does pushing the power button do anything to improve off the line speed? (the one that gives more power i think when traveling up hills and such, to the bottom right of the steering wheel to the left of the console)
2. Should I keep it automatic, shift with the stick, or the speed paddles? does it make a difference?
3. When should I shift? I can set the red line color in my rpms to direct my shifting, but im not sure where the sweet spots r in each gear to shift.. I also notice that the shifting (with the paddles at least I havent tried the stick) there is a slight delay between hitting the paddle and the car actually changing gear, can someone please help?
I want him to eat his words up.. on paper its very close, he's got me beat .41 seconds on the quarter mile, and .21 seconds on the 0 - 60. So it's going to be all driver.. please help me beat him! Thanks in advanced.
