Type in SuperCharger / in the Second Gen Section--you should see alot of post about FI for the slow 350
Your only option right now is about 5lbs of boost from a S/C....
One question, why did you get rid of your 450+HP VET?

Needed more than one additional seat, so I sold my vette.
M3 has only two doors
Audi S4 nice but heavy, RS4 best car until M3 sedan but price is too high
Would never own a mercedes...
CTS-V has traction/wheel hop issue
STI and Evo are great, need something more conservative for work
New G35 is nice, I liked IS350 better and can't wait for M3 sedan
If IS500 come around maybe, but not at 70K Lexus has to prove itself against audi and bmw in performance first.
Vette was a great car for auto cross, drag race and road racing, man I miss that car. Trying have IS350 do at least two of the three respectably.

Thank for info.
Road and Track reported in December issue around 70k.
(not saying they always get it right)
If base is 55k add typical lexus packaging (which is a joke) that adds 3k to 4k.
Then include dealer greed of 3k to 10k for this type of car and your closing in on 70k.
Then try and find a base model in the first 6 month of any new release especially in Southern California.
Just an opinion, not an argument...
