My new car....the IS
so with the new car threads, i've decided to post my new car i picked up last night.
picked up a black on black 2007 Lexus IS250 awd.
didn't have time to get pics today so the camera phone will have to do for now, i'll find time tomorrow.
it's loaded with the HID's
the only things it does not have is the Mark Levason stereo and navi.
so far i'm loving it, and lexus deffinitly under rates the power and performance of these cars. lexus is installing the rear lip spoiler once it comes in because they had to order it
in addition to that my dad also picked up a loaded 2007 GS350 awd. we were both able to get our cars at invoice.
the car will get the factory lip kit, a set of DPE rims, intake and exhaust.
it is going to be tinted next week as well as a clear bra put on the entire front. i do alot of highway driving and this will deffinity help the paint.
compared to the amount of gas i was spending a week for my SUV, the payment on this car plus it's gas is about 100 bucks less a month.
of course azine for life!

nice whip. I do not know the 1/4 mile times on the 250 but some of the guys on Club Lex are getting the 350 to run well into the 13s.

1/4 in 16.0
0-60 in 8.3
http://www.lexus.com/images/ebrochur...is_page_16.pdf
But then again it says 14.2 for the IS350 and we know many have gotten into the 13s easily with it.

while its not fast at all, its certainly quick enough for daily/semi agressive driving

i go to school at Roger Williams, and their is a road right by the dorms where it's a round about with cement walls, but right above it is the bridge and an opening to the water, it looks real good at dusk with the bridge light up and the orange horizon. public security was hanging out down there last week so i couldn't get any shots.
