It should run low-mid 16s unless you're rolling non-stock wheels & audio equipment, etc.

Like that, but the ES is slightly heavier & slower than a Camry. I think I did an ES thread, but can't find it.

im sure i could have ran maybe high 16s if i practiced some more, but it feels very sluggish and heavy, my next cars gonna be some type of sports car, i cant take this loose feeling of the lexus, i need something tight. A friend of mine had a 04 porsche boxter i was looking at, i might consider it....

I'd pick up a 350Z with the 6spd tranny......full leather, bose audio, and brembo brake package and I'd be more than satisfied. Doesn't take much to differentiate it from a stock appearance, and is a blast to drive as it is....not to mention, it will smoke a boxster.

The Z is a nice item in the price range, but it's all gears and no ***** out of the box. I would look at a turbo touring sedan: audi or wrx. This way you aren't dumping more than a few grand to give it 230 to 300 HP...

yeah, but even a high mileage supra would eat a Z. BPU'd supra's still send turbo / S/C kitted 350z's running home. 
idk. id have to think about it if i had 15-20 grand to blow.

A Z will beat the absolute **** out of an Audi turbo out of the Box....287HP is not *****? Thing does 0-60 in well under 6 seconds.....I must be missing something

How do you put this correctly... The new Z's respond well to modifications on a dyno, but don't on a track.
They tend to run alittle slow for the power levels, even under FI.
