Replaced my Evo VIII with...
That car is a beast. The only thing that sucks is that the car beeps at you when your at redline to shift after awhile that might get on anyones nerves. When they come up with a flashing software i can bet you this car will open up even more i wouldnt be shocked to see 25-40whp gains just off a tune.

That beep isn't too bad (it's just 1 beep), and with this tranny you need it, trust me. The car revs so fast and with 8 speed you're immediately at redline.
I'm waiting for an exhaust system, I'm sure there'll be great gains by removing the 3 cats that this car has!!! A tune should give good gains as well.

That's funny. I actually used to have an automatic 1981 Civic. Yeah, it sucked. I once hit 80 MPH going down hill and it was scary. Good times..

Nice Lexus.. I love it. Imagine that thing with some performance intake and exhaust.. would sound and run mean. That is meaner than it already is.
Those openings on the fender just behind the front wheels look great too. Lots of nice design details that make it stand out.

I've read that in a couple of places so last weekend I took a look at the rear bumper. There are 2 mufflers, each one with 2 tips, so it's a true quad tip system. Now the tips on the rear bumper are for look only, they are not connected to the tips on the mufflers, they are like in many cars that have stock chrome tips and work as sleeves over the actual tip.

p.s. Nice car though looks really good in black

On my first post I said that I was at 325HP to the wheels, just basic bolt-ons. I know I won't pull on a +400WHP (unless it's as heavy as a tank), so there is no bull**** here. What I do know is that this car stock is trapping at 113MPH, that tells you that the car is fast, and it keeps pulling hard. I can't wait until aftermarket parts get available.
Cars in this league are pretty well matched: RS4, M3, C63, and IS-F. Power-to-weight ratio is almost the same.

First of all CONGRATS!!!
I am also in the market for a new car and the M3, C63, and IS-F are at the top of my list. I think you made the right choice. M3 will be a dime a dozen. The C63 is also badasssssss!
