is300 vs maxima
well just wondering how well the maxima will do against this car??? i just raced on on the highway. ( i know im stupid) but anyways this fool was calling me out with high beams. anyways i won but only by like 1/2 a car lenght. oh yea i have GAB and TS ecu. the IS was brand new with exhaust and othe mods i think mb intake. How much power does the new IS have? let me know if u guys have raced is before.
thanks
thanks

i'll save you the highway racing sermon. if you're 6 spd, you should walk an is300 all day. if you're an auto....well, you're an auto.

In a straight line the IS doesn't stand a chance vs. Max 3.5 auto or 6sp, the curves might be a different story, though.

Atleast no NA IS300 will touch the 5.5Gen. Watch out if you come up to a Boosted IS300, 2JZ engine can handle good amount of Boost. And don't race one when taking a corner. Otherwise you can race them all day.

Put it this way, a buddy has a 2001 IS300 with a SWT intake/ECU. I raced him at the drags and beat him by a 10th with my old 2001 auto GLE! Now my '03 auto SE is 1.1 seconds faster in the 1/4 than my old '01, you should have walked him pretty bad even with an auto if he way near stock.

I think the IS stock is 200HP/180TQ -- don't quote me on that. I'd check, but Google won't load.

215hp @ 5800 RPM
218tq @ 3800 RPM
Not too shabby, really. Tons of mods available (that goes without saying)...

Millen just made a IS430 for a SEMA display..fully drivable and 100% finished car. Stock IS300 is slow but the motor can be modded (it IS a Supra motor) and will handle FI on the stock bottom end.
I've driven IS300 -- it's horrendously cramped -- feels more like a Corolla. The main complaint I have with em other than that is the horrendous, ugly gauges which try to look all Rolex. They're fast enough but no way a stock IS300 is gonna beat a 2k2+ maxima, off the line or from a roll.
