Accord V6's with just an intake and plugs (our "BPU" package ) can beat or stay even with IS300's. Definitely no match for a Maxima unless it's the new stick shift like WILLSE said.

You Mean The Riced Out Corolla?
Yeah, I raced one late summer last year. We were having a friendly battle at 80 mph. I got out in front a little, decided to ease back. He tried to come back on me fast. I downshifted to 4th and smoked him doing 115.

The IS300 doesn't even deserve to be in the same league as the max

IS300s may not be as fast as a Max, but they sure can handle better.
I not trying to stick up for them, just stating the facts

i got a really good view of the front of the IS300...

they have awesome headlights!!

do watch out for the Area51 tuned IS300...one of those may be supercharged..those things are fast..not the N/A IS300s..

I dunno guys, i think the 02 max's and i35 would kill em, but the 01's may have a close race... the altezzas weigh less than us, along with sport shift and rwd. be careful if your racin one...
