There are lots of "those guys" around....but not nearly as many as on the BMW or MB boards.

Have fun, be safe and run what you brung....whatever it may be.

My neighbor has a sweet SRT4
I hate it because it sounds like a dying cow
To be fair, my car sounds even worse
Nothing beats the G35/350Z drone though!

Nice race... Don't start thinking I said all Srt-4's are fast. There is a huge percentage of them that are not. To be honest most of them are not modded correctly.

Sometimes, I just wish Lexus made the IsF with a turbocharged v6 instead of the v8, that way, we can do the upgraded turbo, or the simple tune, or the downpipe mod, etc.... and tell the other manufactures to ****!!! lol Just look at how the Bmw 335s are killing their own M3s. Put the Supra engine in the F from the Factory!!!

Whats not done to it is more like it lol. Its got a 2jz-gte? motor swap and a 76mm turbo running around 30lbs of boost on e85 so ya he makes alot more hp that i do . THe idle is wicked on it as well you would think it was some v8 muscle car just listening to it you would never guess it was a Lexus.
