3000gt Sl Vs. Is300

[3KSL95]

Well this just happened,im going to keep it short and sweet, my friend and i are on our way back from fridays when the is300 blows past, so i drop it in 4th and catch up, as soon as i pull even he floors it, i do the same, in short i pulled 3 cars on him from 80 - 120 give him the the thumbs up, and that was it, i missed my exit so i turned around and went back to campus. Nice after dinner snack LEXUS A LA MODE(LOL)

15.4 second car

I raced an IS300 off the line and beat him by about almost 2 car lengths up to 60mph then I eased off.

their only problem is weight.

we may be FWD haters but that doesn't mean we don't think FWD cars can be fast, especially with a good driver. but, the fact remains, that take the same exact car but spin the rears instead of the fronts and the car is automatically 100x better.

Not in all weather conditions. FWD is better than RWD in the snow/rain.

Nice kill.

I thought the IS300 was a 15.1 15.2 2 car from the factory? i think they weigh like 3200 pounds though.

if the IS was a 15.1 car odds are your older 3kgt sl with higher mileage would have been beaten like a step child, but hey you beat a toyota nice job

What do you have done to your 'Maro, because I took an IS by just over a door, and for the most part I just walk the 93-97 V6 'Stangs and the late model V6 'Maros.

Nope, not that fast. They use the 2JZ-GE, the motor from the NA Supra. So, they can be made very very fast, but from the floor, not anything that big or bad.

[BlackGT2000]

Its the same block but its really not on par with the supra's motor, I guess the NA supra. For it to be fast you would have to turbo charge it and have forged internals and lowered compression. For the price of and IS you would be better off getting a TT supra. They are cool cars though and what I like about them is that they are RWD and kind of an economy car. I wish they made a Toyota version that was cheaper though.

[CassiesMan]

What do the TTs cost in your area? I mean, I may be crazy here, but I'd rather get the IS, and spend the extra cash on getting it turboed, than spend 30k on a car that has 60k plus miles.
