Performance:
325 - 5-sp 7.1 0-60
15.5 Sec in the 1/4 mile

IS300 - 7.1 0-60
15.4 Sec 1/4 mile

I am surprised the 0 - 60 times are even equal. In my test drives, the IS 300 had no initial acceleration (well, none worth mentioning). The 325i (w/ automatic) had plenty (that's what sold me). The IS 300 must kick in somewhere above 30 or 40 mph.

What is up with the manual side of their hybrid tranny? You start in 5 and can downshift to 2? And the shift buttons (I dont care about the F1 comparison...) on the wheel are pretty wack too.
