Default Goodbye is-f

Trading in my is-f next week. It's been a great car, but I miss boost. I decided to buy another is300 and build another monster. I am trading the F for a white PPV Tahoe. Could use a big truck for the family and having a tow vehicle is a nice bonus. If anyone interested in any parts feel free to pm me. My current wheel setup is the Figs BZc racing wheels on black mesh, as seen in his posts.

Hopefully I catch up in spring with another killer turbo street is300.

Mike

It's bittersweet. But my old is300t was faster, lighter, better handling, and just a head turner. I miss it.

The raw power of a 700whp turbo is300 is mind blowing. The f doesn't even compare. And since neither are my daily, so I won't miss the luxury. Unless you've owned both, it's probsblt hard to compare. I have had several is300's, and regret selling them. Don't get me wrong. The f is fun, but it gets old fast.

Haven't taken delivery yet. But it looks killer and the suspension is crazy for a 3 ton truck.

The raw power of anything 700 whp is mind blowing, irregardless of the platform.
