IS 350 pulled up next to me at the light.... revved up on me and took off like a bat outta hell. I tried to keep up. When I pulled up he and his passenger were laughing at me. ouch.

Lols happened to me before.. Feels like crap. But hey, he has about 100hp on top of us so there's no shame in losing against a is350

Lol drop a GTE in your car and see who laughs then . I know how you feel, a GS460 was picking on me on the highway and I was sad because I knew I couldn't do anything about it.

100 shot of nitrous should keep the passengers from laughing too much.

don't worry, thats about as fast as most IS350's will ever be... you, on the other hand, have a car that is easy to turbo and also easy to swap a GTE into and make ridiculous amounts of power...

plus, your car is lighter and I think the 300's look better too...

i dont mind the look of the IS350/250....but i think that even tho the IS350 has more power straight from the factory, the IS300 has way MORE POTENTIAL.

Exactly... and I don't mind the look of the 250/350 either, even thought about buying one (not getting rid of the 300 though), but I still think the 300's look better...

Lol there's no IS350 that makes over 300whp with an exception of HKS350's IS. There are a lot of IS300's pushing more than 500whp so definitely more potential.

I agree, the 300 has much more potential, BUT the 2IS's looks 10x better. This is coming from a previous 3GS owner and now a 300 owner.
