They're fast, I raced one before and I didn't start pulling until 4th gear.

I guess it would be more fun that getting reeled in like a little fish on a pole. My IS is a comfy daily driver, but it's pretty damn slow. Motor is smooth and is fine for cruising around, but for spirited driving, it almost isn't worth it.

It already has a 2JZ-JE, just not the GTE version. I considered going turbo, but figured it was stupid as it would compromise reliability and that is what is most important in a daily driver.
