I hope I will be proven wrong.

How is this overpriced and underpowered? 0-60 in 5 flat doesn't sound bad to me. And it won the last comparo against the BMW 335i.

How does 306 crank HP and 270TQ at 3600 pounds hang with a 335? Believe me, its underpowered. Well thats an opinion, IMO its underpowered.

IS350 doesn't stand a chance, lexus needs to turbo that thing fast!

The Lexus WON that comparison. That's not an opinion. I'm not one to turn down more power, but clearly the IS350 is a better, more engaging and fun car to drive than a 335i, despite not having a turbo. There's more to a car than whether or not it has a snail underhood.

which comparison are we talking about?

I drive the 350 Fsport...fairly often, while nice, its underpowered in my opinion. It can "win" anything in the car mags, doesnt mean I agree. Ive only driven a 335 a handful of times, the most recent model being a 2012, so i dont know how engaging the 15-16 are. That being said, the Lexus, IMO, is kind of a dog. Not exactly slow, but it doesnt keep up with my Genesis. Again, its not a bad car but for 50 large its disappointing.

I drive a 2014 IS350AWD almost every week. I've also run our prior 2011 IS350AWD at Englishtown to repeated 13.8s. The IS has ample power to get around town and merge/pass on the highway, which is all you really need it to do. And my frame of reference is my daily driver, a stick 2014 Mustang GT. Are you sure your friend doesn't have a rebadged 250?

After 16 years no one has been able to crack the Toyota ECUs for the 1ZZ and 2ZZ engines. I would not hold my breath waiting for someone to crack any Toyota ECU. If you do then you would just be dead.
