Cool Beauty and the Beast!

Hi Everyone,
Well, I got my new daily driver...brand spankn' new Lexus IS-F. I've been driving around my 97 Supra TT and I figured it was time I got myself a more sensible daily driver. It just looks badass when both cars are next to each other...both pearl white and BBS wheels! I haven't really gotten on it yet but I can tell that there's a beast waiting to be awakened after the break in miles are done! Got a awesome deal on it too, so if anyone is interested in getting a great deal, PM me and I'll give you the details...Darshana S...

Congrats on your IS-F and what a great addition to your garage. Two of Toyota Motor Corp's high performance and historical vehicles.

Love the rare TRD Japan tach and steering wheel.

Hi Guys,
Thank you all for the compliments. I'm itching to do some more spirited driving in the IS-F but I plan on keeping her for awhile so I've been good and kept my lead foot in check. In regards to the Supra...it will forever be my baby. It is currently BPU+++, putting down about 450RWHP (and I'm proud to say is completely legal...just recently passed strict CA emissions with the help of my spiffy high flow MetalCat). Below is my mod list and a picture of the engine for those who wanted it. Which is faster...for now, I have to definately say the Supra. The sequential twins spool up instantly and never cease to amaze me that this 10+ year old car always puts a smile on my face. Thanks again for the compliments and I'll give you guys more feedback between the two when I get more miles on the IS-F...Darshana S...
