This is true, very close to IS-F quick. Most hybrids are deceptively quick though. People think b/c it's a hybrid that they are slower than the average car but having that electric motor is more like having a supercharger with having that linear power band right off the line.

Marcos from Texas, I'm about to finish high school. I'm new to CL. I, like many of y'all would like to work for Lexus I've been deciding on few tech schools. Will a regional tech school would gey you as fat as for example WyoTech or UTI would? Texas folks, any recommendations? Thanks

I went to neither. I went up to Southern Illinois University and got my bachelors in automotive up there along with a minor in management (Top 5 automotive school in the US as I recall). Texas state technical College in Waco is where I was for 2.5 years since I did basic bodywork, paint, a few diesel classes (18 wheelers), hydraulics, All the automotive stuff to get my associates, and a few extra classes. But if you want to get your leg in on Lexus start in the T-ten program. I did the generic program since I did not want to work on one specific car.

One tip I will give you though...If you are unsure of ANYTHING...ask. Don't just sit there and twiddle your thumbs because if you do not ask the teacher WILL assume that you know what he is explaining. There will never be a know it all in school. Its where you get to learn and meet new people...Plus if the teacher usually sees you want to learn he/she will actually take the time to help you out.

I knew a few people that went to UTI...It's a hit or miss with certain people. Some people get a lot out of it some don't. I have seen people come out of a few of those "big" tech schools that still dont know how to change oil.

I'm new on here, but not new to the Toyota/Lexus Community. Used to own a 1.5JZ/6-speed 92 Supra, 76GTS/AEM/Fuel, all the good stuff. Just didnt have time to finish the last setup on it with school.

So I bought this car from Chris Johnson, former owner of Boost Logic. 1993 SC300 NA-T, pretty soon it will be 1.5JZ/6765/V160.
