yea but it looks a whole lot better that IS300... inside out. Also you could make this car extremely fast with simple mods... port the cynlinder head and throttle body, put on a full exhaust and header, and supercharger or turbo and you got a racing machine...

...then i reminded her that im still under 1k miles and trying not to put it past 3k rpms, shut her up real quick.
anyway, in reference to tckurt's comment about the looks... we took some pictures of the cars side by side today so if anyone wants ill post them up, its pretty hot

i love the look of the is300, i drool over it everytime i drive past one. that kinda sucks that it's only comparable to my tC...i would have thought the is300 would have more *****.
i wish i could compare my tC to something else, but i've never driven anything that drives like the tC does.
i once drove a mercedes c240 automatic, it totally sucked, it had nothing.
only things faster i've driven are '04 corvette, saab 9-5 aero, new GTO....but all were automatic and my tC is a stick.

I have an is300 and I've test driven a bunch of TC's and am modifying a friend's TC.
I think it's pretty much right on par with a stock is300.
But I think the IS300's actually a little more fun to drive. You can toss the is300 around more than you would expect.
The price difference? Pretty steep. The TC is a great value.
I'm trying to sell m land rover to get one so I can start modding it

I like the feel of the 5.8L V8 Tahoe. Damn can you go, but ____ it takes alot to slow it back down...so heavy!
I'm not saying it's up to par with the tC, but when I test drove the car, the sale guys kept looking at my like I was going to go off roading, lol. ^ ^
