makes total "cent$" though. i dont even see a point of it. its only a 430 V8. its heavier and doesnt even boost that much power. maybe a 1.5 second gain. they should have kept it a 6 cyl with a factor supercharged supra 6spd. id choose that over any stock vvti.

Yes, no doubt, swapping in the supra engine would have made it faster, but that is not the point of the IS430, it had a few purposes, first the idea of putting a bigger engine in a smaller car, just like they did in the old muscle car days, and all the R&D that went into makes it the predcesor of the IS-F, we have today, that everyone wanted Lexus to make a BMW M3 fighter. Actually two IS430's were built, the other one in europe, a all black version. Lastly this car is famous for being featured in the tv show, "Rides", and the paint scheme is by Chip Foose, with Rod Millen Racing handling the engine and transmission swap.

Still intact with a few small cracks, haha... Although I do throw this thing on from time
Thanks a lot
This thing is hot in a dirty kinda way. Too bad you didn't submit pics for the calendar we're putting together. Then again they would have wanted your car to look flawless.
