Its all about how much you willing to spend and have to spend!!!! I can say this much 35K for TT setup is very STEEP for most people but not all! But the SAD thing is when people put that type of money in their car and don't even own the title to the car but could have with the money they spent on the mods. or staying home and fishing off moms & pops and spend that type of money instead of finding their own place . I'm not saying anyone here is that way but I know people that are like that and that is sad, really sad. I was always taught to pay yourself first and that does'nt mean go out and buy a nice car or boat

Just make sure you keep the Lexus so when that Stang goes to the shop and trust me it will be there often!

So you are saying that they have gotten to the point where a mustang can actually drive off the dealer lot without breaking down? i am amazed give them the car of the year award! they have come a long way!

, Porsches are pretty good though as far as reliability.

Yes the porsches are pretty good reliability wise, which is surprising when u think about it. My uncle has 3 944 Turbos with mods and they run great, change the oil and be on your way!

Were you serious with this reply?! Why would you want to buy a GS3 or GS4 and then get rid of the engine, which is one of the smoothest, most refined powerplants available today in either case...especially the GS4? I just don't get it. I can understand putting a TT on the original engine, but swapping out an infinately reliable engine for something far less so seems like a waste of money!

Mariusz just brush the haterz off. who the hell cares how much he paid. you have a TWIN TURBO GS400. only you and like what three other people can say that ish. sometimes when your ballin you just dont care how much you paid for this or that, and i swear when you mash that throttle, and you have over 500rwhp forcing that grin on your face, youll totaly forget the check you just made out to srt. if i was older and i had this kind of cash, thats the first thing id get for my gs400. and while i smoke all those other cars that cost twice mine ill have a great ride home.

Mariusz props on your stunning gs400. if you dont post a video soon im just gonna have to key your car and steal your turbo's

lexciting and Mariusz race RACE RACE RACE RACE RACE!!!!!
did i mention that you should race lexciting? oh yeah and throw your turboed supra friend in there too!!!
