IS300GTE, you were lucky got one of those IBP 5-spd. The dealer said they only shipped 7 in july, 5 in august, and 3 in october to the entire west U.S. region. I have to make a special order of it. Hopefully, my dealer will able to fight with other 50 dealers and grab ONE of those THREE fully loaded IBPs for me in the coming allocation.
I really can't wait for 3-4 weeks for my baby to come =)

Ya she is still my main car my IS300 will be comming in a few months cause not many are available with all the options in 5spd.My Camry had a best 1/4 of 14.11 at 98MPH so she is still fast but i had to replace the electronic boost control module cause it failed causing tranny damge and that was the last part that made me chose a new car.Im happy to stay with my Camry the way it is and i realy cant wait to have a fun summer car.Im planing to supercharge it as soon as i can afford the pieces cause i will install it all myself.Im also planing to get the SARD body kit and get a custum cat back exhaust with high flow cat.I got many plans now all i need is the car and money.

14.11 in a camry..thats not bad..not bad at all!! With a s/c and the right tuning, I'm sure you'll have no problem getting the IS into the mid-high 13's. By the way, have you seen the WISE bodykit on the IS? That's a really nice kit as well.

I just bought the 5 speed on Sunday
Hi Guys:
I am new to the club, because I just bought a Silver IS300 5 speed on Sunday.
It has everything except the navigation. Interior is Black Leather / Escaine Trim.
The guy in Longo Lexus in Los Angeles sold it to me for $30,200 + tax
The downside, I have to drive all the way from LA to San Francisco (where I live) for 450 miles....
It takes me 7 hours since I set myself the rev limiter to 3000 rpm...
By the way, which Toyota filter do they use, I am planning to change the oil this weekend.
Nice to meet you all..
From a Z to Altezza....

Well before my Quality Toyota Camry i had a POS 1996 Accord V6 and ever since then im Toyota all the way.Some of my friends down here had Tiburons and they still freak out that they made such a dumb buy.Well i got to say when i first got my Camry i seen what a quality car was and then when i tryed some Lexus out i realy seen the potential of this great car maker.
T is that you?
