Hi everyone,
I have been checking out this site for a few days now and I like what I read and see. I currently drive an 08 Lexus IS 350 for my fun little summer car. I came so close to getting the ISF but they didn't have it in stock and it was about a 4-6 month wait at the time it came out. I was too impatient so I decided on the 350. I'm gonna link a couple of pictures when I first got it, but this summer I will get better pictures of it especially when it's nice and detailed. I hope to see some people out there this summer for a little cruise or something.

In terms of mods I can only look at some mooncakes, a drop and an exhaust on her just for looks. I have not been convinced that there are mods out there that would significantly increase my hp. I hope to see one soon though. I have even heard some aftermarket intakes even hurt the hp on my car. I still need to research some of them and see what is the best for this car.

Thanks, the car has the sport package so it has the sport tuned suspension and slightly lower than other is350 without it. It is fun to drive even at stock. I had a dyno program on my iphone the other day and i calibrated it and was able to do 0-60 in 5.2s dry run. I know the program probably is not as accurate but I thought it went within that time.

Ya the IS250 is definitely underpowered. I just wished the IS350 came with the manual transmission. I think that would even be more fun.

Hey thanks, ya I have tried the traction control off and did a 4wheel powerslide around an isolated corner rofl.. Anyways I think the traction control does come on though after a few seconds in to it. I am not sure but it felt like it and the light went off in the dash. Has this happened to you? You should post up a pic of ur car I wanna see it.
