He says his car is not stock. Maybe he added a blower or nitrous? You can beat an IS-F with a 4 cylinder POS if you sink enough coin into it.
W210 E55 beats a Lexus IS-F?
Don't think so, but it's good for a laugh, posted at the mbworld.org kill stories section:
This is the old style, non-supercharged AMG he's got, which had 349 hp stock, i.e. not even close to an IS-F in performance, even if you add an exhaust and a pulley to it!
Anyway, I'm a proud member of the mbworld stamp-out-the-BS crew, and we usually chase bozos like him off by challenging him to replicate his amazing feat, which is what brought me here: if anyone would like to meet this guy at a 1/4 mile strip and smoke him, let me know and I'll invite him...in the event he's actually dumb enough to show and doesn't slink off and hide in the woodwork, it'd be hilarious to watch!
For the record, I've got a CLS55 and I think he's full of it.

In a different thread, he wrote the following when asked about his mods:
These mods won't pick him up anywhere near the 100 hp or so he'd need to do what he claimed to do. Personally, assuming the whole thing wasn't just made up, I think he ran an IS350 and mistook it for an IS-F.
Yeah, maybe it was an F-Sport Camry.
HAHAHAHAHa!Yeah, maybe it was an F-Sport Camry.
I really hate that F sport badge
