Its the same motor and ****** and electronics.

Same exhaust. Just a different car.

I must say I did not know that. So Lexus really did make something interesting. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Did he do a supra swap or he added turbo(s)?

But how many parents will tell their kids no. I know plenty of people who most definitely should not have gotten licenses and there's no way the parents weren't aware of this, yet they still signed. Parents are too optimistic in that regard and not to mention it saves them the frustration of driving kids back and forth to practices, parties, etc.

If anything, I think you should be required to hold onto your permit for a longer period of time. I live in the country (no cops ever) and I was driving on our dirt road since I was tiny. I used to sit on my grandfather's lap and steer and as soon as I could reach the pedals on my own, he moved over to the passenger seat. By the time I was 12ish, I would drive home as soon as we got out of towns where cops were. Fact of the matter is that I gained a lot more experience than people that drive for 6 months before being on their own. Unfortunately there's two issues that still arise. One-it's always different when there's a parent there and being alone or having a car full of friends. I was stupid when I got my license, but at least I had control of the vehicle due to experience. Problem two-it's not uncommon that the parents suck at driving themselves, so how can they teach kids to drive? This isn't only the moms either because there's plenty of men out there that can't drive for **** either. Goes back to what someone mentioned earlier. If the parent sees the car as just a means of transportation from point A to point B, the kid is going to adopt the same habits.

Just 1 turbo off of a John Deer tractor(very large one) that is good for around 30+ pounds of boost.

He built the motor that came with the IS and added the trubo and ******.

The same can also be done with the older SC300's as well. Same motor ect..

If anything they should ban the old people that drive 45 in a 60. They are the ones causing accidents not the 16 year olds.

Little late on this but I agree... I think you should be required to re take the driving portion of the test when you reach a certain age then have to come back every 5 years or so...

Gorgeous car but I call BS on the same engine as a Supra... unless he swapped it out of one?

Originally, my mom tried to teach me how to drive stick. In short, it didn't work. She couldn't teach me right, so I would constantly stall in the neighborhood. She started getting all stressed out, saying "you're going to get out on the road, and you're gunna stall and crash!" I was like, Jesus Christ, I can't even make it out of the neighborhood!

Then, my dad hopped in to teach me after he got off work. 2 minutes later, I was driving no problem.

I see a lot of adults texting and driving and I flip out on my friends when they do. A kid I graduated with hit a patch of woods at 60 and died because he was texting and driving. Sharp kid. Olympic skeet shooter and in the navy and ****. 16 or 21 ******* are still stupid with or without maturity.
