there was a IS300 at Carlsbad today.
it was the Turbo magazine IS300(sponsored by Stillen..), the car had hi-flow intake and exhaust. the car's best time for today was 15.8....which is just about the same time auto maximas landed today...well, maximas were little bit faster..

i've had the chance to race 2 is300's...one was the current auto, and one was a dealership advance car manual

the auto i had 4 people in my car and this guy was alone...this was before i had any mods...we got upto about 120mph...i started behind him so i couldn't launch and a few times i had to stop accelerating to keep from hitting him...once the left lane opened up, i changed lanes and very very slowly passed him

the stick was after i had all my mods...it was a brand new yellow is300 w/ dealer plates and the guy got a good launch off the line and i cought upto his 1/2 carlength lead and upto 125mph we were DEAD even...this guy was by himeself and i had my friend and my 100lb stero in the car...so then we slowed down and raced from about 45mph to 130 and it was dead even again...we can beat auto is300's stock for stock, auto vs. auto (a stick will walk one like nothing else) and should be able to beat the sticks when they come out...an auto will probaly lose to the stick is300 stock for stock, but the stick max will beat the stick is300
