Some New IS430 Info
I have not responded on this site for a while. I came across some new IS430 info. Looks great, but hope the 0-60 time will be altered a lil bit, (5.9) is a bit too slow for a beast like that.

That is the TTE demo, test car.
TTE has no intention of producing these cars.
They still haven't succeded in making the SC on the IS430 run like it should.
This is what I heard from the people at TTE.

You guys will probably not see a V8 IS 430, but you might see a V6 IS 400. Lexus has been considering dropping in the 4L from the new 4-Runner, or the 3.3L V6 RX 330 engine. The 2JZ-GE engine is about to become a part of history unless they can get it to pass new emission regulations.
Stayed tuned folks, things could get interesting ...

that sucks considering my friend's machine shop sees quite a few toyot v6 engines in for surfacing heads and new valves and such. The i6 is a much more stout engine it seems, it'll be sad to see such a reliable engine go and be replaced by something of a lesser standard
