ML55 vs 2006 Lexus IS 250 AWD

I was out for a cruise with a female friend of mine on the henry hudson pkway, and in my rear view mirror I see very bright xenon lights coming up on me, I decide that I am going to jump on his *** and play along. As he passes, I realize that it is the new IS 250, an awd version, we come to a stop side by side on lights, hes inching towards the white line. Green, we're off, he hits it hard, Im using maybe 3/4s throttle to keep even with him. (to screw with his head) A car ends up being infront of me by the next light, so I get behind him, he blasts off again, except this time, the second I have room, I pass him at 75 without trying too hard at all, gain 5 lengths.. Next light he's getting of at an exit, he laughs and gives me a thumbs up, and I return the same. Unfortunately right after that, my brake light turned on, and I havent had any fun for the past 2 weeks since that event. Got semi competition porterfield pads coming in hehe..

Messing with peoples heads is Fun.. :v

Nice, even though the 250 AWD is slow :p speaking of IS250's, I was driving next to one the other day on a very bumpy road, and that thing was bouncing and weaving all over the place. I dont think Lexus knows how to tune a sport suspension yet.
