Oooh oooh oooh I have never written a kill story before...
I hope I do this right 
So I rarely if ever race my car. I live in a state where cars actually worth the extra gas involved with pushing the accellerator all the way to the floor are few and far in between. I told a kid once (I wasn't being a snob, he was being a stupid little punk): "Sorry man, I don't waste tires on 5,000 dollar mustangs."
Anyway, yesterday I am on my way to the little league field to watch a game. I pull up to a stoplight on a little highway outside of town. A little stock IS300 pulls up next to me. He looks over a smiles, looks up and down my car. The light turns green and he takes off. I don'ta s I wasn't really looking to race. On his back glass he has some greek letters...sigma nu. Uh oh.....we've got a frat guy here that needs to be pulled down a bit from his might trust fun high-horse. I even up with him until the next stop light. It's on now. He looks over and sees that I am with the game now. Light turns green and we both punch it. Off the line I get the initial jump. Shift to second, he starts to gain a bit. I run the engine up to redline before kicking down to third. I get about half a car legnth on him. That gap stays pretty much the same the rest of the race. I had to turn about a half mile later.
I was all excited...my first kill!

I have a friend who has an 01 IS 300 and I raced him once from a dead stop and he beat me inches off his rear quarter panel. Thing was, I didn't quite know how to drive my car yet. I think I could take him now, cause I'm a HELL of a lot better driver than he is. Unfortunately I won't have my 99 280 Sport until two weeks after I go back home and see him, cause I would REALLY like to pit that one against him.

Nice kil!!!! Especially when you're 50 horse down....
Anyway, just be careful w/ turbo'd IS300..... I think I met one in Bay Area.... outside looked completely stock, except exhaust and a little lowered.... but you know what.... I could hardly beat him in E55 from 80-130.
I couldn't see whether he was alone or not.... but yet, I only had my wife w/ A/C on. May be my wife's scream weighed down my car a bit

Yeh turbo IS's are FAST, but if you're going to turbo an 1-6 WHY would you do a Lexus when an E36 or E46 M3 will yeild MUCH better results and you wont have to put up with people saying "Hey, NICE Toyota!!"

I think if you go to Dinan..... you need to put at least $10K to get.... errr.... 50 horses? If you're talking about S4..... that's a different story.... I think w/ $10K - $15K, the S4 is already in E55 / M5 category.

That IS 300 engine is a freakin 2Jz, it's basically the Supra engine. I was talking to the machanic at the Lex dealer and he said pretty much anything you could do to the Supra can be done to the IS 300.
