Something was wrong with the install....those cars (like most 'higher' end cars), tend to response to bass VERY well! Has always been the case in mine!


Maybe you're a bit mixed up but NONE of the IS300's came with fold down rear seats....not one! All they have is a "ski pass".

Twice the car!?!? Doubt it...maybe better but not nearly "twice the car". Twice the engine?!?!?!? LOL! Not many engines out there better than the 2jz-ge bro! Incase you didn't know, this car has the same engine as the Supra....just non turbo'd (2jz-gte for the turbo'd supra. The n/a supras have the exact same engine as the IS300). These engines are know to last forever and respond to boost better than almost any other engine out there. 450+ to the wheels is quite easy with most decent turbo'd kits....with minor, if any, engine mods....and they LAST! That Inline 6 is worlds better than that V8 in that caddy, sorry to say.

Sup dennit. Sorry to have to correct you on your new car bro. But 0-60 is 7.1 seconds for auto IS300's and 6.9 for manual's. He'd leave you off the line....well, he'd leave you all the way through but still....not really comparing apples to apples. In the future when you're a LOT more mature, turbo it and leave em in the dust!!! Not many cars will beat IS300's on the highway turbo'd the right way. I see it all the time....Vipers, Lambo's, Vette's, Cobra's, etc etc get smoked by a "4 door sedan"!!! Amazing on the highway.

ALSO, you're "pushing" 'only' 215 hp to the crank (more like mid to high 180's to the wheels).

Sadly, I somehow see this being true. I HOPE NOT but it can get away from you. ONLY reason I don't have 2 IS300's right now is b/c my girl won't really let me get another (would be turbod) b/c she knows the power and how I tend to use it:emb: Came oh so close to buying a turbod one last spring. Thing was wicked fast, doing the quarter mile in 12.3 secs trapping at 119 mph! Would scare the $hit out of you how fast it would do 50mp to 120mph...basically a blink of the eye.

Anyway, mine has gotten away from me TWICE and luckily no major damage at all was done....just a small dent/crack in the bumper....that's it. Could've been a lot worse but it's been all fixed up so no worries. And honestly, I'm MUCH more mature than Dennit (not an insult just I'm amost 10 yrs older than you).

Rear wheel drive is fun. This car is FUN but I honestly don't think it's the car for teenagers. I smell trouble for tennies behind the wheel of a car like this.

Thanks 96maxgle.

We would and will be on good terms if you ever decide to refund me the 2nd half of what I paid for the radio that's collected dust every since I got it from you from being useless:crap://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif! Tell your parents to shoot me the other half since they've got money to blow:greedy:.

I could give you the complete run down on this car, inside and out, if you ever needed anything. Mine is a manual and is pretty modded inside and out. Pretty quick, sounds good and look good! LOWER IT! That alone on these cars will get you comments almost everytime you drive it!

Anyway, I'm tired, gotta run. Hop on http://www.my.is and become a member but don't expect to last there long acting like you do here. Gotta grow up fast over there! You'll learn A LOT and save tons of money with any and everything you decide to do with your IS300! Those guys have been there and done that with ANYTHING possible for this car!

Enjoy it and drive safely and respectably!

its amazing what a steady 3.8, 1230 on SAT and guaranteed scholarships does to your parents.

1230? You realize it's out of 2400 right?

Not so much as to "getting away" from people it's just that they handle sooo well, that people tend to push them to the extreme limits....and before you know it, BOOOOM!!! I didn't really hit anything, just spun out of control over a small ditch. Just a cracked front bumper.

Also, with these cars, if you're going 100+ mph, it feels like you're going 60-70. VERY smooth and the mph can get up there pretty quickly. VERY quite cars/engines also, unlike some the fast/powerful V8's where you know and feel like you're going fast when you are.

Me? I fail to see how I'm the dumbass. I didn't get a 50% on my SAT's lol..

They used to be out of 1600, but he's saying he's a senior in high school meaning he would be in the new format.

it should be a pretty reliable car but make sure you check carfax a lot of hurricane flooded cars in the Houston area

ok, well let me give you a quick rundown,

800 Critical Reading

800 Math

800 Writing

Since writing isnt used to factor your score that actually matters, you can just knock that out, technically a perfect score would be 2400, but thats not how it works, Writing matters but not in the score schools will see. So now were working with a 1600 being perfect score because you only use math and critcal reading to factor your score.

Math: 630

Critical Reading: 600

This is where my 1230 came from

if you did it on the more technical scale with all 3 it would go as follows for me

Math: 630

Critical Reading: 600

Writing: 690

1920 final score, Thats still not bad considering 2400 in perfect.

Get your facts right before you voice your opinion. *******.
