yeah... your old car is actually my inspiration along with some other members

s/c or turbo is probably a bit of a stretch... something my pocket's aren't deep enough for

but i'm planning on redoing the exterior first: tte lip, l-tuned sides, l-sportline rear, possibly new exhaust (but i really love the blitz), rims, and fixing the headlights!

then i'm planning on going suspension before i do engine: front and rear trd sways, front and rear stb, daizen bushings, tom's 6 piece rear link.

and then i'll try and work on the drivetrain and engine...

29 years old, Bought the GS350 last weekend. The 350 engine is great, Direct Port Injection is the next big thing.

Your probable not too far off SGT. Given monetary considerations by age, those in their 20's usually, not always, but usually aren't thinking of spending GS350 money. I'm 54 and have been into the go fast mode most of my life. GTO's, Road Runners, .... ie.. muscle car days... when you could buy a GTO fully loaded for less then $5,000.

I don't know if this has already been discussed on this forum, but I saw this information on the J.D. Power web site. Scroll to the bottom of the page to "Buyer Demographics". Sorry if it's duplicate info.

The J.D. Power's age distribution is more like the correct data from Toyota where 35 and younger only contribute 23%.
This poll is heavily skewed as most CL members are relatively young.
