How NOT to drive like this in 1/4 mile run....
this is one of our EM friend Marc (aka, douchebag) first Turbo IS300 and his first ever run at the track. He has since bought another IS300 and boosted it up, now talking mad smack in our forum....
below is an old video of this douchebag crashing...
EM's trash talking dumbass 1/4 crash back in 2004

^ How could you smack up a car at 1/4 mile when it's nothing but a straight line. He went to the left lane and smashed up the entire side.
(The car ended up totalled, the insurance did cut him a check for the KBB value.) Now he has the same exact IS300 but a year newer (2003) claiming it has 663rwhp and does under 10 secs...
there's a meet on the 26th our annual TE/EM mega meet and can't wait to see what this douchebag has to say.

Almost all of Lexus's that use the 3.0 motor are all non-turbo supra motors.
After watching those videos, I want a supra even more. Too bad my dad will not let me trade in my TL for one of those

My God those videos bring back tears of nostalgia. I bought an IS300 when it first came out in '01 and used to hang out at IS300.net before it became my.is Although I never did anything with the IS (too poor back then) I loved it nonetheless. I've since sold it to my 17 year old brother, but I check back all the time to make sure it's well cared for and occasionally drive it when I visit home. Man, I loved seeing the white/yellow headlight/fog combo at night from oncoming cars because I could always guess it was another IS. Damn, I miss my IS...

Yeah, you can never miss it on those yellow and white lights. Myis300 went into shit and that's why many of us created our own forum.

Nice cars in any case though.

Its possible, but it is probably mainly due to its traction issues.
