Had fun running a couple times with my friend's IS 300... My S is BONE STOCK.. He has an exhaust, intake, header. It pushes nearly as much hp as the S i'm assuming then. 3 times, all three from 60 digs... It was over in a split second. Just thought I'd share my 1 time ever racing... and probably the last time in a while.

Are they really that slow? I mean.. i hit 5th gear.. and he's WAY behind... and his is manual also. just wanting some views on it.

yea they're pretty slow. i'm not sure if they're even considered performance sedans. raced one from a dig and once vtec hit i was outta sight.

Yeah i've also raced a buddy of mine. His IS is pretty slow too. Never have raced him from a dig, always raced about 50+ mph. Always a win. Congrats

even with bolt on there hella slow. I let one get a car lead on me and easily passed him again. Careful though, well aleast I know of some around here that are turboed, also a couple with supra swaps.

S2000/RSXMan

yup.. I beat one with my stock RSX-S and he was stock and I pulled considerably low to top end....

supra swaps are very very not comen... since they are very hard to do.......... BUT they are the same JZ motor, just non turbo and different pistons ect. so putting a TURBO set up on them is not hard at all but hte bottom end only hold mid 300's before (if that) blows. There are only a couple REAL supra swaps done to date.

I would think that swap would be done more often. I have seen many with the stock motor turboed. I do know one person who has a very well built supra motor in one, and gooooooooood daaaaaaaam!!!! that thing hauls ass.

This is the most misleading comment ever!!! IS300 has superbly strong bottom end.

Not to mention their motors are superbly smooth. I was at a dealership with my father and the salesman was able to balance a quarter on the motor.
