Episode of Rides: IS430
[SIZE="3"][/SIZE]Any of you guys catch that episode of rides where Chip Foose and Rod Millen took an IS300 and threw in a GS 430 powerplant on top of so many other goodies. That V8 sounded so mean and the car handled really well. It dropped the 0-60 down to 4.6seconds. It also got a signature Chip Foose paint scheme. I saw it on Discovery HD comcast channel 663 you guys gotta check it out

Yeah I saw it last night. I can't get over the rotund Lexus rep getting out of the car and saying, "wow, thats a fun car". They should check that guy for a pulse. Get it straight Lexus, you're going up against AMG and the M Division, so try and find folks who have some real passion before you build anymore F cars.
