Although the 350 xan be upgraded with f sport sway bars, intake etc. It sound like your wanting a sports car which obviosly the IS being 4 door is not. I dunno the vettes never really impressed me much but if thats what u want go for it...

I'm kind of in the same boat. After 3.5+ years the IS350 doesn't "do it" for me any more. In late '05 when I first got it, 306hp was a lot and the IS350 was a pretty darn fast car, but nowadays it just doesn't seem enough. My current options
1. Z06
2. CTS-V
3. SLK55 with either Renntech or Kleeman mods
After 2 years of storage in the garage I recently jumped on my R1 and was reminded just how damn fast liter bikes.......

What exactly is wrong with the c6 interior? The c5 I agree, stinks, but I liked my c6. I had 2 tone black and cashmere, the 2 tones look good. And yes the vette does get great mileage, to work and back I averaged 21mpg. It'd get 28 to 30 @ 80mph all day on the freeway. There's a '07 c6/Z06 for 47k over @ corvetteforum.com in the f.s. section. It's an atomic orange one, looks hot.

Man not sure if i am reading all these Vette posts right? Buuuut my friend has a 07' Z06 and runs it at track days all the time and smokes pretty much anything else out there(Porches/lambos/G8's/Mustangs GT500/)..I have seen it and have been in the car with him...Also he put in a cam/headers/Intake says he got well over 500whp...I been in the car again and trust me handling it's f'n crazy we were at Pahrump NV Spring Mnt track and we were going like 135 heading into this sharp right hander on the big track(they put both together as one) i was like there is no F'n way we are gonna make this turn..I sheet you not this car was like on rails, also we were on stock tires & breaks..I tried to look over since i was pinned against the seat belt i think we were at about 65 at the apex..Now he has tracks tires and better pads..If you want a car used i have seen them for about 44 then get one...But as a daily driver no way keep the Lexus...I never liked Vette's until i rode around with him at the track..Now i want one but can afford both so for me Lexus IS350 daily & track..But the Vette is so sick..Even though the new c6 are very good i would go Z06 all the way...Just my 2 cents...
