I never liked the 1st gen IS, but I'm slowly getting it, and I actually found an 03 Is300 that i think looks nice (black leather and nav, i love it).

Anyway, the car has 215hp, and im not so sure exactly what the time is for the car from 0-60.

But how fast can you get your car to go? How much power can you get from the is300?

 

From what I remember reading for the stock IS300, 0-60 is around 7 seconds and the speed limiter is around 144mph. Manufacturer's spec says the engine is rated at 215hp, but it is de-tuned to put out about 180ish hp.

 

I've hit 147 (speed limited) on the autobahn, mine is us spec, with just a k&n intake

 

Stay in 3rd gear.........lightening fast results!

 

3rd gear killer!

 

Whats the most hp that you can get from the is300 with mods? same with torque?

if the is300 is a 7 second car, is it possible to make it a 5 second car?

 

IS300's are good cars to mod. Go turbo and you have a supra with 4 doors.

 

your best bet on going fast would be to save up some money and go for the GTE swap or a turbo kit for the IS. as far as basic mods go, from what i have read up on with i/h/e some cams and a tune, maybe a little extra, i want to say ive seen members with around 270hp (dont hold me to that). i would focus on suspension personally, whats the point in going fast in a straight line if you cant handle the upcoming turn?

 

Anything is possible if you're willing to throw down some serious cash.

 

thats the damn truth. this car will run from like a scalded dog in 3rd

 

yea i think you can get around 270 hp with the right mods without turboing it. it's time is supposed to be around 6.8 seconds 0-60 however with the right mods I think you can probably make the number somewhere around 6 seconds, just depends on conditions and your mods and take off and etc.

 

is this kid for real?

 

goes real fast if you push it off a cliff.

 

lol if your gonna do that give it to me first

 

haha that is very true, it will drop fast off a cliff lmao.
