So I have yet to have the oppurtunity to run one of the new IS350's untill last night.

Was on an undisclosed road here in Dallas at around 1 in the morning coming home. Black IS350 pulls up next to me, man it's a mean looking car!

He put's up three fingers signaling three honks, I let him do the start and on the third honk we take off from a 75 roll.

By the end of third I've pulled about a half a car on him. Fourth gear comes swiftly with a nice little clink as it engages and the clutch is out. This is where the M comes alive with the exceptional gearing. 120 comes quickly with me about 2 cars ahead, 5th gear is rolled into as the distance increases between us. Speedo eventually hits 160 with him 5-6 cars back still working the cars heart out. No match for a modded M.

For a little fun I hit 6th gear as I notice he is still going after it, 175 comes up and I know I need to start shutting it down. (Roadway was empty)

All of a sudden, V1 goes off...laser. Dallas Police officer on the otherside of a bridge hiding. First time in my life I have ever been so frightened, this could mean big trouble if stopped. I look back into my rear view, cop doesn't even go to get in his car. Whew! No chase, no ticket, and hopefully he is not radioing (sp?) us in. I quickly take the next exit as does the IS350 and we dart our seperate ways to our houses.

Exceptionally fun run, quick car, good way to end the night.

That's not smart to be doing 160 on the public roads mmkay? yeah im not serious.

Well when its 1 in the morning on the tollway...not a car in sight behind or in front. I wasn't to especially worried. I mean come on, gotta open her up a little when the time is right :D

i thought e46 are limited at 155?

That's why I have this thing called a software reflash :D

was your d&g tie also flying out the window?

I don't wear D&G ties, only the belts.

C'mon Eric, you should know that.

Dood, that toll way is the shit! OMG OMG

LOL, good run man. Though, elaborate on the cop not getting into the car.. Did you spot what he was doing by any chance?

By the way.. .... .. nevermind.

careful on the tollway guys, new cameras have been put up the full length of it i'll bet all they need now is a pic of your car. and plate. etc... the troopers are out and being very strict right now. I've had quite a few scares in the past 2 wks on the tollway.

Really? Hrmm, that's actually quite frightening. I was between Lover's and Royal racing him...

Anyways I met one of your friends...Brandon? at whole foods the other day. He struck up a conversation with me and we talked about schneider and you and a few of the other local car guys. Cool guy.

Yeah, 190 is FULL of unmarked Impallas with tint and a CB antenna on the trunk.

I havent seen any on the DNT...as of yet.

So a Dodge Dakota 5.9 R/T tried to race me last night down Berry, what a retard.

I would like to see them mail me a ticket. I would give them the biggest headache ever.

I bought this stuff called PhotoStop which you spray on your license plate. It doesn't look nearly as ugly as that plate protector (actually its pretty much invisible). When a flash hits it though, it blurrs everything. Dunno if it works or not, but cheap insurance.

Edit: Nevermind, I just went and put it on, took pics w/ the flash camera and it basically did nothing.

I call as em' as I read em'. :D

As you found out that stuff doesn't work.

TopGear was able to beat the speed cameras at that speed I believe.

BTW, 175! dang lee, your crazy. I did 165 in mine back a few months after I got my car and that was enough for me. Im scared to go that fast on the highway again. I need more front downforce.

Walk into court with the factory specs that the car cant even go that fast. tell them the camera is clearly broken and your off. besides the fact that a camera wont get you that fast. like i said, they proved it against some speed camera on TG
