This was from a head to head comparison test in which the M3 was picked over the IS-F M3 with 233 out of 250 points. IS-F with 219 out of 250 points. |

only a 1 sec difference between the M3 & the IS-F around laguna seca. This is definitely a spectacular 'first effort' by Lexus. |

Even if the time difference were 4-5 seconds, I still find that a very impressive effort by Lexus. |

It seems the Lexus is built by the same principle as the C63 and that is by no means a bad one. | |
