The IS does not look very balanced in this video. The weight of the car seems to upset its composure, and without ESP reining the car in, it looks more like how a S-Class Mercedes might behave, not an agile sports saloon.

Like most new Japanese cars, good handling is just a few keyboard strokes away.

The driver in that IS is an idiot, look at the way he drive and swirl around the cone, guranteed he an amateur. Give him an M3 or RS4, guaranteed he do the same thing. It common sense if you think about it, if you put a Dweeb or Amateur driver in a M3 or RS4 but in this case an IS350 with that much power under the hood, off course he will loose control and drive like an amateur.

Allow me to throw my two cents worth in since I have been road racing for over 12 years. BMWs have always been more fun to drive around a track than a Lexus. Jeez, I'll bag on a drifter because its plain stupid and I DO know how to drive properly. I can get my M3 sideways but its hard on the tires.
