Some may appreciate it some might not. I was getting on the freeway today and a brand new Lexus RCF was almost kissing my behind. What to do, I gave it a little gas than normal and the guy passes me on the freeway shoulder so I caught up with him and the guys rolls down the window and implies he wanted to race. So I have a thumbs up. We both roll up our windows up and the race was on. I know I have a tune, but it just goes to show. You, an E63 owner don't go looking for races. They come to you. The rest is history with a note of 88.

...and last week a 3 year old wanted to fight me, so I knocked him out...

Not much of a kill story. An IS350 isn't anywhere near the same league as an E63. That guy would have half the HP you do.

If you were stocked, think again. Look at the numbers.

Which number? The 306HP or the 277ft-lbs of peak torque?

...vs your 600+ of each?

Better, but that car would still be down 150+HP and 200+ lb-ft of torque, and is only about 500 lbs lighter.

IS350 would stand no chance even vs a stock E550 let alone an E63 stock.

Yes, I understand the IS350 is more comparable with the E350.
