your right, to some extent.
* AS200 (sedan or Gita wagon) – 2.0 liter 1G-FE inline-6, 160 hp JIS (118 kW) or 155 PS (114 kW), rear-wheel drive or 4WD; sold by Lexus as the IS 200
* RS200 (sedan) – 2.0 liter Yamaha-tuned 3S-GE inline-4, 220 hp JIS (162 kW), rear-wheel drive, not sold outside Japan by Lexus
* AS300 (Gita wagon) – 3.0 liter 2JZ-GE inline-6, 220 hp JIS (162 kW) or 215 hp SAE (160 kW), rear-wheel drive or 4WD; sold by Lexus (sedan or wagon) as the IS 300

[edit] but the one i raced was a 4 cylinder. i looked. unless, i completely missed it.

Dam, so cola was 600 when you first got there but now it's only 400?
Maybe you got a little extra at the begining to help you get adjusted and settled in.
How long have you been there again?
Wonder how much it would be if you got stationed in japan!!
Oh man only $40 extra for a kid.. wow that sucks dude...

Shoulda went air force

No the cola rate is based on the dollar to euro exchange rate. And thanks to the powers that be, the soldiers that are in Europe took a 20% pay cut when we got our new boss. So, I scrape by to buy parts thanks to the army. As for living in japan I'm not sure but like I said before the cola rate is based on us dollar to host country money exchange rate.

Man. That does suck. 40 extra bucks for a kid is a joke, my son eats that much in food within 2 weeks!

Speedometer, so its prob not as accurate as it should be, but that's what the speedo said. I'll work on the GPS verification next time I'm on it. Why do you ask?

Just curious on the top speed. I just bought my IS300 and have no plans or place to top it out without getting another reckless driving charge/jail/probation etc.
