What other cars belong on this list?

Recent sporty USDM sedan (4-door car), RWD/AWD, either come turbo or is relatively common to upgrade to forced-induction:

Evo8
STi
WRX
S4 2.7T ('00-'02)
A4 1.8T, Quattro, sport package
VW GTI 1.8T Quattro (whatever years 4-door was available?)
IS300
GS300/400
S60R
Legacy GT/B4
Some ass-expensive AMG Benzes

Almost fit the bill, but FWD:

Saab 9-3
SRT-4
Grand Prix GTP
TSX

True but, it falls into the other category (along with the Altima):

"Almost fit the bill, but FWD:

Saab 9-3
SRT-4
Grand Prix GTP
TSX"

you can knock off the GS4 on that list. The GS3 is much better for boosting in terms of percentage gain available without internal work.
Still, both engines are not meant to be FI'd. The best way to achieve great gains is to put a 2jz from the supra turbo.

I don't thinks its that common to add FI to the GS3/4 or G35sedan for that matter. I' know that a few peeps have them but not all that many. maybe the is300 (which you mention).

Regal GS 3800 s/c
Saturn Ion Redline if you count suicide door as a 4 door
Jag XKR s/c
Any new AMG that's not CLK (must be 4 door). I think either s/c or turbo

I wish the JDM GS300 (Toyota Aristo - 2JZGTE w/280hp) came to the US instead of the GS400/430. It would be so fun to see "Supra" modded GS300s.

What's the context? Is this the JRock thread #2984 about what car to get next?

The GS 300 uses the same motor as the supra and is easily turbo'd and can take it as well. I've seen quite a few people on some lexus boards turbo their GS. Although as stated, not many do it to GS 400's.

My only point is that he's had NUMEROUS threads about what car he should buy next. I don't mind the threads, but it was getting to be a bit much. I was just wondering the purpose of this thread.
