Hey, the show has interesting articles every week.

Try watching it every Tuesday, not just on the 3rd.

Richie, if only you could play my DVD-Rs, I'd send you a copy of it.
Yeah Glen, add me to the list too.

It was a custom one, from what they were saying. That was a very sweet looking and fast IS. They also said it shaved alittle over 2sec. off the 1/4 so where does that put the car as for 1/4 times?

How about this for a wish list for a mod to my GS400 -

Manual 6 speed tranny from a Supra. That would be just too much!!!!!

hah good luck putting in the 6 speed on the gs400. you will run into a lot more troubles than just putting a manual it's funny coz' from 6.8 to 4.9, that's already 2 seconds off the 0-60. so i thought they would be able to shave off a bit more off the quarter mile (specially with the v8). i don't know what's the general 1/4 time for the is3 though. but is3 is a slow car, so...

and yes the exhaust is a custom one.

I guess I was the only one let down by the show.

Too little time talking about the IS and the mod's needed to make it function properly and too much talking about magnetic shocks, drifting, and a bunch of ancillary topics.

I loved the way that IS430 sounded though and sure would love the opportunity to buy such a car (ARE YOU LISTENING LEXUS?????)
