Let me know when you do end up taking it out and I'll come too and see what the Porsche with a ****ty drag driver can do for kicks too.

I hope you enjoy the IS350... I hope you have better luck than I did when I had my G35. I hoped to have a luxory performance car and all I ever got was a huge headache and a nice car that got beat up in the winter! The g35 was a death trap in the winter regardless of what tires I threw on it and then the whole idea of modifying the car was a joke! I know there is performace upgrades but you spend more time trying to get around stupid safety and emissions things that in the end it's more of a headache! Ok enough ranting... I hope you get out of it what you wanted, it's a beautiful car.

My thoughts would be to throw some huge wide rims on it and make it a VIP car!

Nice 350! My buddy took his to the track out in AZ just to see what it would run bone stock fresh off the showroom floor and it ran consistent mid 13's.

Oh come on Zach, you would've gotten the 250 if you didn't still want to go fast at least a little bit If it weren't for the fact that an exhaust for the Porsche gains like 6-10 hp (claimed...) and costs a minimum of 1k, I'd have the mod bug for the Porsche...

I test drove a 250 when I was looking around, the car itself was wonderful, the power was horrible. What like 207 hp, come on Lexus, are you serious? A freakin Civic SI can beat an IS250 And then I can totally believe a 350 can at least keep up with a stock Evo... Sigh... I'm surprised you can even handle driving it Wes, I could barely handle driving my ex's TSX, and the only reason I could handle it at all is because those Acura's handle amazingly for FWD cars.
dude yea the power sucks haha the tsx wouldn't be too bad if it was boosted

lol you guys aren't going to drag for quite awhile **** I would love to right now I just wanna throw on the meth injection and retune the bish I think I can hit high 11's


anyway back to the is350 I agree with teamsprock that would be sick vip style

It looks fine white, but I do think you're in dire need of a spoiler... But maybe that's just me and in never really liking the Evo in wingless form.
