So far that has been the preferred food on my 2K Max'es diet. Have smoked them like crack since day one, no mods whatsoever, just premium fuel. Happy hunting, hope ya find 328i's and 330i's also, those are lots of fun.

Haha, yeah, and those bimmer guys are NOT happy when they get whooped by a grocery getter! They often tell me I'm "number 1" when we meet at the next light... or maybe they were just pointing at the sky with one finger? hehehe

Yeah, you should have him even from a freeway roll. I had a IS300 come up on my tail as I was getting on the interstate a couple nights ago. Was going about 60 coming off the ramp and he was right on my a$$. I led a little bit and he followed, but when I punched it at about 70 I left him trying to catch up until I let up at about 105

Hehe...thanks Kloogy! And to think - that car was originally 1st on my "to buy" list. THEN I took it on a test drive and found a reason I didn't like it - It had NO ***** whatsoever! Plus it was too damn tiny...hehe

Haha! You sound like me! I was gonna get the Yellow one too. I wish I had NAV on my I35, I happen to have every option but that and the winter package. But I know what it looks like , my DAD has a navy blue I35 identical to mine but with the Popup NAV and winter pkg - I love it!

Sorry, all i read was the title and all i have to say is... THINK OF THE ENVIRONMENT, DON'T WASTE OUR PRECIOUS FOSSIL FUELS! If you're going to burn gas, you might as well burn it wisely

ROFL!

Kloogy - I dunno the chances of my dad joining the ORG. He seems to think his 18 year old son ought to be driving his new car rather than learning about it and playing with it..

The IS300 was the first on my list as well. Then I drove it and I thought...that sucked, especially for those kinda coins. I got my Max for about $5K less than an equally prepped IS. My stock 2k2 can stomp them new mudholes and I still have money left over for mods too (So I can beat them worse)

All these theoretical race questions always reminds me of those:
"If Superman and Batman had a fight, who would win" questions.

IS 300 will lose in a straight line, watch out for L-tuned IS 300s and you will get killed in any sort of curve or the twisties.
