'04 Lexus IS 300 has balls??

[Stang_Crazy]

Can I get some info on these cars from someone who knows?

1/4 mile? HP?

I was relaxing with my sister and her roomate last night, drinking a little bit, when their neighbors come over to shoot the $heeit. Two guys both 20 years old. As we're talking, one of the guys starts bragging how fast his roomate's car is. I ask what he drives and he points to a '04 Lexus IS 300. He tells me it has balls and I just kind of chuckled and said "it looks nice and I'm sure the ride is great but it doesn't have balls". So he continues on, telling me how fast it is and blah blah blah....he says it's fast because it's a stick and he had it going 65mph in second gear. Apparently since the car can do 65 in second, it's fast. I told him I've driven much faster cars than that and he got all pissed demanding to know what cars I drove that were more powerful. When I told him about my car, he laughed it off saying there is no way my car was faster than the IS 300 (which was stock BTW). Then I asked him if the Lexus can bark the tires on the 3-4 shift like my car can and he shut up real fast.

I would have taken the Lexus out that night but we were pretty buzzed already. If we seem them again, I'm going to take it on a little test drive to see if it has "balls" or not.
