Isman, you haven't posted your times yet and PFS claims the fastest. If you post your times, I will let you know if you are faster or not. However, since you are spraying you still won't be considered the same. This is all turbo no nitrous.

Wxman, you are misunderstanding my post. I didn't state that "I" was faster than PFS. My point to be exact was you did not state PHR IS300s 1/4 et numbers to state a blanket statement of being the world's fastest IS300 in the 1/4mile, just by stating you're faster than PFS's 11.6 1/4 et. That was my point. My post wasn't about ME.

Hey that's cool Charles. I was just curious. Honestly, I would rather bury the hatchet between you and me. I have my opinions, but I realize that the way I express can be a problem. Since that point, I have tried to be less abrasive. The truth is that I think you have an insane car. Whether or not I would choose SRT to do my turbo should not be an issue. I think we are all pushing toward reaching the dream we have for our car. As should be expected, everyone will take a different path, but the goal remains the same.

Let's play nice. I look forward to taking it to the track. Hey, I might be the first turbo IS 300 to hit 20 seconds on a 1/4 mile track.

The car is very nice. It was not only clean inside and outside, but under the car itself! I'll talk to you later sometime this week.
