Default It's Official My IS350 Is On The Way!!

YUP!!!

Just got word that the transport company picked it up yesterday and is on it's way. It's coming from Exton(sp?), PA to Las Vegas, NV.

It's an 06 IS350 with the Sport Package. Has 35k miles on it and is SGM. Can't wait until it gets here. Estimated delivery is the 19th but, will most likely be here sooner.

Damn waiting 9 days will be the longest. Once you get it, you're going to start modding and then the mod bug will get you haha

First thing you'll want to learn is how to do the "pedal dance" to disable traction control. Unfortunately the 2006 models don't have a nifty traction control button that will do this for you, so you have to go through a bit of a sequence, but you'll learn it. I figure it would be more fun that way, anyway.

Traction control off = optimal acceleration from 0, assuming you get good grip. Very noticeable.
