Default Fastest, Sexiest IS350 EVER...!

Alright, so this might be a little bit OT, and I might make a couple people a little
angry for tricking them into my thread... but after spending an obscene amount
of time designing this car in Forza 2, I had to show it off somewhere relevant.

So I played around with just about every single color combo of red, white, and
black after I created this design, and I've narrowed it down to these four combos
for my top choice.

This:




This:



This:



Or this:


The inspiration:


Opinions welcome.

And just for kicks, some stats, heh.
0-60: 4.2 s
0-100: 7.8 s
Top Speed: 227 mph
60-0: 104 ft
100-0: 280 ft
Lateral g's: 1.14

Curb weight: 2,609 lbs
Peak torque: 554 lb*ft @7300RPM
Peak power: 685 bhp @5400RPM
Redline: 7500 RPM

I'm still working on tuning it and upgrading it to improve just about all these numbers...
and she still oversteers like a b****.

... As you can see, apparently Turn 10 game studios knows about a lot of aftermarket
mods we haven't heard of yet, haha.

I would... but living in Dallas, that's just begging for your car to get egged, keyed, and battered to no end.

Yeah, we'll be alright. I got nuthin but faith.

And yes, I love the design features... I spend more time working on my cars than actually racing them, haha.

the paint would be way over the top in real life... the work rims on an IS would make me weak at the knees though

They're not the prettiest things in the world... but they were the lightest ones in the game, heh.

I wish there was a way to change that.

I was thinking about posting it at ClutchCity, actually...

And 100plus, I'm guessing that didn't end well, haha.

Did you design it or buy it? Either way, it'll be interesting to see. I haven't been really impressed
by any of the IS's that I've seen in the auction room so far.

I hope it's not one of those super busy-looking cars, or a car with just a very well done drawing/picture,
but one that doesn't necessarily suit the car well (like some random chick from some random anime show).
I tried my best to use the Rockets logo and jersey design in a way that fit the race-car look and worked
with the lines of the car.

I think I pulled it off, but I'm obviously a little biased, heh. As long as we're whoring out our cars,
though, you should check out my Forza 1 creations.

Ironic that Yao Ming wouldn't be able to fit in that car.
