Newbie here and I have 2008 IS 250 awd. Starfire Pearl with Cashmere. I like everything about the car except it needs a little more power. The IS 350 awd was not available when I purchased the car new in Dec 2007. Is there any easy way to up the power by 25-30 horse power?

That is what I thought. I guess it is time to step up to a IS350 or RC350.

I think the OP wants awd.... So ISF would be out of the picture.

You guys are good with 100k on it? I know the Lexus reliability is great and 100k isn't as bad as it was 20 years ago, but that still seems like a lot. Won't there be expensive maintenance?
