Got the call this morning, my car[See Sig] is sailing the Pacific, bound for Florida. I also got some better news, instead of being one of the last 2006's made, mine will be one of the first of 2007!!!!! The sales rep said they will honor my original 2006 price, which was 2,500 off msrp. No brake pedal tap dance for me, but after reading a recent post of someones mishap, I'll play with the new VDIM switch in an empty parking lot a few times first.
Just a little bit longer now, end of August or first of September, can't friggin' wait.

btw, it's TRAC/VSC OFF not a VDIM switch.

I will do a legal tint, hard wire the V1, Illuminated skuff plates, maybe a better intake eventually. I'm also waiting to see if any good performance chips come out.

Speaking of "chips" they are non existent for Toyota/Lexus ECU's. We just had a discussion about this not too long ago:

No chips. Why is that?? I used to own a 1995 Camaro Z28 and considered the new mustang GT{too small, and unrefined}. They both have several aftermarket chip options, and I had one for the Z28 that really "kicked it up a notch". Do you think anyone will come out with a chip for the IS350? When I say chip, it also could be a power re-program, which is what the Z28 used.

Hey Payam. I agree the re-programer worked great on the Z28, I think mine was a Hypertech or something. My best 1/4 mile time in that car was 13.59 @103mph, which some IS350's have already beat. I think your recent time was pretty quick.
