well... the only problem of awd is the vibration after lowering...
and when it's lower than 24in(?) from fender to ground, the CV boot is at risk

rwd's don't have those problems

lol TJ...i would too lol. but as he mention he is leaning towards the VIP scene...the F doesn't seem to project that VIP image. i mean you can probably pull it off but to me that v8 belongs on the track. whatever it is u get looking forward to it. you have a group of great individuals here. just make sure to come out to the meets.

You could always go with the 1st or 2nd gen GS. They are a good platform for the VIP scene. You can find a decent one for a fair price as well to start off with.

Hmm...this is a tough one. I've been a big fan of 2nd gen GS's as a VIP platform for a long time even though there's more than enough out there in my opinion. At the same time, that clean, aggressive look that 2nd gen IS's have has been growing on me a lot recently. I would say I agree with Teo as far as going for a 350 Whatever you end up choosing, I wish you the best of luck and maybe we'll see you around at meets sometime soon!

IS250 and 350 the difference is one is slower then the other. the 350 is a 3.6 liter engine, im not 100% sure on that but correct me if im wrong. the mods that are available for the 250 is basically the same for the 350. well most of the mods anyway. the only thing to watch out for is the IS250 awd as it is a different car and the suspension and exhaust mid pipe is not the same as the regular is250 and is350. i don't think u can go wrong with either one as they both look the same, but I would pick the 350 as it is quicker, get the 250 if you want to save gas money and the is250 awd if your planning to drive in the snow.
