That's why the GS was made...

True but just IMO the IS styling is what I would prefer. I don't care about the features and would rather save that $3000 for more HP!

I know GS is a great car, but outdated styling. I refer IS styling with these features. I'll pay Lexus $10K more if they can put RCF engine to IS350.

Do you think the chassis of IS350 could handle RCF's engine?

Yeah 3IS has been significantly stiffened compared to 2IS but I don't think as it stands 3IS could handle RCF's engine. Adding 50HP hell yeah but that monster V8 might do more harm than good. But if it could handle I would definitely give $10Kmore for that sweetheart engine. Plus we already have the same transmission, please somebody correct me if I am wrong on that.

I had the opportunity to cross-shop the IS with the 335 extensively, and ended up getting my wife the 335i M-Sport in 2013, and my IS in 2014. You can read my comparison here. Since writing that thread I drove the 335 extensively, and last week was the first time I drove my wife's 335 since 5 months of driving only my IS... I have lots to say but I'm too lazy to write it here and it's late lol... OP PM me if you're interested. If not you can read that thread I linked.
