Nahh, those brits don't have any additional power under the hood. If it's anything like the cars of old, they keep the car stock, so that they can't chase anyone but an old woman with a walker.

i think you will find the is200 is a bit faster than an old woman .......

mine does 140,i understand the is300 does 143.......hhhmmmmmmm

anyway we have dedicated persuit cars in the uk,and this car if bought by uk police forces would be used by divisional police chiefs not as a persuit car

we use subaru,porsche,ford cosworths,jaguar as pursuit cars

Don't forget the T-5!

Anyway if you guys new how to modify cars you could have 600bhp 2.0litre engines, and not have to use a 6.0litre to get 300bhp, you say there is no replacement for cubic capacity, lets see you attitude change when you pay $6 a gallon for fuel.

If a British tuner can get 586bhp from a modified 2.0litre Evo, what would you need, a 100litre big block Chevy!!

You guy's are here because you drive a Lexus the pride of Japanese workmanship, appreciate it and modify it!!
