I don't know what model/year it was exactly but, it was either a 300 or 400. Looked like this <a href="http://a904.g.akamai.net/7/904/506/v0003/images.autobytel.com/cyber/158361/i6164_1.jpg" target="_blank"><font color="red">picture<!--color--></font></a>.
It all started with me first at a light with this guy behind me. I pulled off kinda fast from the light. This guy took off normal and changed lanes so that now he was in the middle lane while I was in the left lane. I was just cruising about 60mph when I noticed that he was getting closer and closer. So when he got up next to me I started to match his speed so he couldn't pass. This has the affect of priming people to try and crack you.
He wasn't trying to pass fast but, we slowly picked up speed from 60mph to 70mph. I was hoping he would crack it since 70mph is a very strong spot for me.
It just so happens that a truck is in his lane as we are side by side. He pulls over in the third lane to go around the truck and wacks the throttle from what I could tell. That's all I needed to see and I cracked the throttle too and from 70-95mph the blue beast pulled
about 1.5 lengths.
We came up on a light behind a bunch of cars and I got in the left turn lane to see if he would follow onto the big two lane road but, he went straight.

Oh well, it was fun and now that I looked up the stats for those cars I don't think it would matter what model it was.

The SC340s are crap, they are pretty slow,
The GS430 is actually faster, the IS300 in the stick is kinda quick, but it has no torque whatsoever.
I dont know why the GS is faster, but it is. all of them have a crappy bottom end, but for regular driving they feel very quick, but when you really get on it, they kinda bog till the VVT-I kicks in
