Unfortunately the time has come to let go of my turbocharged IS300. As you can see from the list above the car has been extensively built and all major aspects have been addressed. It was built with safety and longevity in mind along with the philosophy of doing something once and doing it right.
The car us running a conservative 15 psi and is putting down ~430 horse power to the wheels. As many can attest, a motor built to the specifications above can safely sustain much more power than with the proper fuel and tuning. At 15 psi this motor is just getting warmed up.
The car is a nice balance between performance and luxury. Although running 500 brake horsepower, the car is very quiet due to the 2.5" catback. There is no droning in the cabin and I can hold a conversation while driving on the highway at 80mph. It is worlds quieter than my swapped 99 Subaru 2.5RS which is running an inline magnflow and a rear magnaflow muffler with 2.5" piping. You'll notice that I am running 2.5" piping from the "cat" back. Swapping to a full 3" should yield considerable gains in horsepower, however at the cost of increased noise.
The exterior is in excellent condition. The car is constantly washed, clay barred and waxed and as such the paint is exceptionally smooth, free of contaminants and glossy. Many have found it surprising that the car is 6 years old as it does not show its age. It is in great condition for a car its age, however is not free of imperfections (noted above). The car has spent the majority of its life in Georgia and North Carolina and as such has never seen snow. This is my weekend car, always garaged, and only sees rain if I get caught in it. I use my 322whp swapped Subaru as a daily (which happens to be for sale as well).
As you can imagine the car pulls very hard through the gears and the upgraded automatic shifts quickly and crisp. It easily put my Subaru to shame at 13 psi and at 15 psi was able to pull on my future brother-in-law's 2006 M5 from 20-120. The car ran a 12.6 @ 116 in full street trim w/ a 2.3 sixty foot time. It was achieved using the summer tires listed above, full interior, and on a half tank of gas.
Questions
Question: Why are you selling?
As I'm getting older my priorities are changing and unfortunately cars can no longer be at the top of the list. I got engaged several months ago and will be getting married in March 09' ($). At the same time I am now looking to finally buy a home ($$$). Unfortunately to meet these requirements i am actually selling BOTH of my cars (my Subaru 2.5 RS / GC8)
The above is just a brief overview of the car. If you have any questions feel free to contatct me via PM or email or post a question here. I'll try to update the first post as much as I can and centralize all the data. Modifications and maintenance to the car have been fully documented through out its life and a folder containing these documents will be provided to the new owner. For potential buyers I can provide scans of invoices indicating just how much has been spent on building the car.
The car is located in northern NJ (essex county).
