NICE! You are right about the TA being crazy loud...one would think it's a 11 second car at least, but I guess not. Maybe the driver of the TA is huge.

You can get an IS with sub 5 second 0-60 by buying the one that says IS-F on the back. Available in 2008.

If I wanted to get sub 5's I'd take out the rear seats, chuck the spare time in the garbage can and remove all the carpeting, etc... I'd replace front seats w/ Sparcos. I'd probably replace the wheels too. That wouldn't void the warranty.

If I wasn't worried about the warranty I'd put in a couple of turbochargers like BMW did in the 335.
