spanked by an IS300

2 nights ago when the server was down i was just drivin along and i see this IS300 so i just played catch up wtih him and i did....welll i wanted to race him but there was a red light and all 3 lanes were full and the IS300 was in front of one of the lanes and i was right behind him....he knew i wanted to go at it cuz iw as speedin up real fast catchin up with him earlier...when light turned green we both gunned it and his rear wheels were spinnin like crazy as did my front...after that he was gone he got about 6-7 cars in front of me as i was tryin to catch up i only got about 3-4 cars behind him as he flashed his emergency lights sayin he won...but i kenw it wasnt fair since i started behind him but as we were slowin down and i heard him downshiftin fast cuz the light suddenly turned red i heard his BOV and we talked and he said nice run blah blah and i found out he has a turbo under the hood and hes pushin 350hp at wheel....damn that thing was fast i wish we couldve raced 1 more time head to head but there was a cop on the other side of the road

two nights ago I had small race too. at first we started slow from light, but I started to push slowly, I knew he was gonna try to pass me becouse his line was ending. then I hear his automatic downshifted- big noise but he didnt jumped at all. Im accelerating too, but its not downshifting to second, and i see Im allready half of the car in front of him.. I tought HA, some kid with neon or similar car wanted to play with me.. then I see another light really far in front of us turns red , and I take my foot of the gas. he didnt, he goes like like crazy thru red light. and then i see SC300.
he was so slow..

the motors are essentially the same as the NA supras, those things can run with the help of the replacement for displacement if you know what i mean

It wasnt stock for sure. Then again, their aftermarket is like that of a Civic. I have spanked many of them, but they are easily modded....

SRT (SwiftRacing Technologies) in Beltsville MD is the one who does half the turbo IS300s. Bet you the IS300 you saw around in Silver Spring MD was turbo'ed by them.

YES! that guy works where around where i live! He has a turbo under his hood! He is sponsored by SRT (Swift Racing Technologies) They are the ones that set up a GD for us to dyno.

Two of my best friends : Audi A4 5speed & IS300-
got their cars a year prior to my Max- and are forever gettin' owned- Their leases are more than my finance payments and always get a grin when I
hit WOT when in my car-
Although their cars are superior in handling(twisties)
and overall refinement -they always say to me-" I
wish i bought a car like yours, didnt know how fast they were"-
Although, on my way to my inlaws I was walkin an IS300 till about 125mph and then that focker pulled away- I could guess he was doin at least !45-150mph- must have been boosted(body kit/exhaust sound/psst!)
