I'd flip that if you're thinking about taking the car to a race track. The bimmer is going to be much more competent for that purpose. At the autocross or general street touring, however, the IS300 is nimbler.

At a recent Quattro Club event at Laguna Seca an instructor tracked a rental IS300. To put it mildly, he was 'disappointed' in it as a track car.
