There are lots of "those guys" around....but not nearly as many as on the BMW or MB boards.

My neighbor has a sweet SRT4
I hate it because it sounds like a dying cow
To be fair, my car sounds even worse
Nothing beats the G35/350Z drone though!

Nice race... Don't start thinking I said all Srt-4's are fast. There is a huge percentage of them that are not. To be honest most of them are not modded correctly.

Sometimes, I just wish Lexus made the IsF with a turbocharged v6 instead of the v8, that way, we can do the upgraded turbo, or the simple tune, or the downpipe mod, etc.... and tell the other manufactures to ****!!! lol Just look at how the Bmw 335s are killing their own M3s. Put the Supra engine in the F from the Factory!!!

Whats not done to it is more like it lol. Its got a 2jz-gte? motor swap and a 76mm turbo running around 30lbs of boost on e85 so ya he makes alot more hp that i do . THe idle is wicked on it as well you would think it was some v8 muscle car just listening to it you would never guess it was a Lexus.
