Imagine that cost if you put everything you could on there. Be like a 75k car. What a waste!

reading the thread that must be a Stage 2. Which means it was $14K installed. So ummmm... if I'm gonna spend $14K I want AT LEAST 500hp! Big whoop. You spend money, you get a fast car. This is not news!!

you have to look at the HP gain, lets say you guys put on the comptech SC and got 100 HP max, for 5K. They are spending 14K and getting over 300+ HP, so the horse power to money ratio is about dead even

But the IS300 is RWD, isn't it?

Btw, what is with the dyno of that car? Like why does the torque curve go DOWN like the last half of the rpm range? Weird. Or maybe it was the wrong graph someone posted in that is300 thread.

If you spend that much on mods plus the cost of an IS, just go buy a M3.
