Thanks

but isn't that with manual????? auto vs. auto should be a close one..just my .02Originally posted by Lexus_IS300:
depends on which version. the 3.0 are pretty fast. in the mid 14s i think.
cant compare, that car is a 2 seater roadster. its lighter and more nimble than the IS300.Originally posted by siLveR_iS300:

I agree when ur referring to the drag strip. On road courses and autoX it's the driver and I doubt the Z3 can "easily win"Originally posted by Young:
The Z3 3.0 with auto is faster than the 330i with auto (they share the same engine, but the Z3 is lighter), which is somewhat faster than the IS300. So the Z3 should win relatively easily in just about any kind of race...drag, autox, or track.
The 2.3 is just the model number...it still has the 2.5 liter engine. I had one of these also. This car felt a lot quicker than the IS also.Originally posted by 5shifter:
IS should only be able to beat the 1.9L I-4 version. Acceleration wise the Z3 wins. BMW quotes these for the 2.5: (the 2000 2.3 won't be much slower)
2899 (2987)
On the contrary, there are MANY Z3 manuals. The M powered Z3 is ONLY offered in Manual.Originally posted by S38:
Won't find that many Z3 manuals.
This is about as vauge as "which is faster, chopped liver or Jabba the Hutt?"Originally posted by LexusIS4U2NV:

That was a good one!Originally posted by s0yb0mb:

Or "IS300 vs. my Foreman grill?"
I mean, the IS300 is fast, but I'll be damned if it can grill a chicken breast faster than the Almighty Foreman.[/QB]
Romps on the IS....depends who's driving it......Originally posted by LexArkana:
Let me put an end to all of this right now. I own an IS and a 2001 Z3 3.0 (automatic). I also had a 2000 Z3. Without a doubt, the Z3 romps on the IS. No comparison. The IS is sporty and moves, but driving the 3.0, you actually feel like you have power. You feel the car rumble when you get on it.
No comparison whatsoever.

Obviously. But the person driving the Z would have to be a retard.Originally posted by cartman300:

This is like the "Thelma and louise" simpsons episode where Homer and chief wiggum chase Marge and her friend thru the desert. Wiggum cooks eggs on the engine block... I remember seeing some moron on some stupid morning show they shoot here in times square who made like an entire cookbook about cooking in your engine compartment... I'm not kidding.Originally posted by JW:
I dunno...wrap up that chicken breast in some foil, stick it in the engine bay, and drive around at full throttle...should have some interesting results![]()
