Question: is 2is faster than 3is?
Answer: The gearing, and final drive ratio, in the 8 speed 3IS is just about the same as our 2IS 6 speed. But, it takes the 3IS 3 shifts to get to 60 while our 6 speed only takes 2. That's why the 3IS 350 AWD is a bit faster to 60mph than the 3IS 350 non-AWD as the AWD still retains our 6 speed.
