OP, don't listen to these idiots.

IS300's actually can't go fast. Everyone who's ever gotten there's to be faster is using blinker fluid modifications. Ask any modder. Any REAL modder. They'll all tell you the same thing. Blinker fluid and boost bar are absolutely critical to speeding up those slow *** 2jz's.
