Straight line? I would say that IS300 have advantage. I drove one and it's fast.

Default If you have a manual, then i gotta say A4...

The IS-300 has 215hp and less tourque i believe. Its an automatic!! You will win if you can drive your car well.

Default 4000 rpm launch, shift at 5800 rpm done!

When you are sitting there rev'n at 4000, fluctuate it, not steady. Release clutch moderately fast, and floor a tiny bit after (or at the same time), not before as you'll smoke your clutch and he'll laugh at you Once you get going, keep foot planted, Shift at 5800rpm while blipping the gas pedal quick - Shifting process should be half a second, no longer. Continue to floor! Done, unless he wants more passed 60, so shift same rpm. Done! Stop, pull over, wait for him and in 5 seconds later grin ;P

Now go over and show him off. Be careful now. There were 2 street races here in 2 weeks with 2 fatalities involvind 2 wheel drives
