building a sleeper
I was just sitting here bored and started thinking about my next project, which I plane to start when I graduate. I will be going for the sleeper look; my show car project is currently in progress. I am torn between an IS300 and a GS300, used of course, maybe 2002 – 2004. So which car would you guys say would make the best sleeper?

I would get an IS since you can get a 5 speed stick. A perfect sleeper all you need is an aftermarket turbo kit and you're good to go with 300+ rwhp which is enough to take alot of things on the street.

Here is an example vs a supercharge cobra owner a modded 5.0 ... their somewhat disrespectful remarks...

Funny thing is the car was running on low boost (.8 bar) and had a turbo gasket leak.

the 1st gen GS
you can't make the IS into a sleeper since it looks sporty / fast - not to mention actually doing it will cost you a lot more than modding a 1st gen gs
gs + aristo clip + brakes + suspenssion and you are set

Yeah, the GS would be the best sleeper. The IS is still a sleeper to those that don't know about cars, but to enthusiasts, they know.
With a GS, people in general don't know how fast the 4 is and a GS 300 would be a total sleeper, even to enthusiasts.
