ok fellas this is all getting to be a bunch of bunkety bunk.

hey I KNOW... F/I vs F/I right!!! How about we compare the IS300 to... .... a VIPER TT!!! yeahhhhh...... that's the ticket... a Viper... TT. something to the tune of 1300hp. F/I!!!! - the price is higher too, so they are more like, on the same playing field, if you know what I am saying... now THAT... would be comparing apples to apples... god the IS300 would get smoked to hell!!! what a pathetic vehicle. what was I thinking... 4? 6? 8? 10? 12? what's the difference? that's just the ENGINE size... no biggie.

and THEN... ok wait... we compare 4-DOORS to 4-DOORS... now THAT... is apples to apples. I am thinking.... hmm.... oh yes - as a preliminary race, the IS vs a full-race Audi RS6 from the Speedvision GT series... at a roadcourse such as Laguna!!! THAT would be ultimate apples to apples... YEAH!!!!! Now we are talking and that Caddy CTS-V... yeah that has 4-doors.. HIGHLY COMPARABLE!!!!! V8 to i6... that's never an issue. bring it on!!! damn I think the IS300 would get smoked by that Caddy though!!!

ok seriously guys, I'm sure this IS guy has caused quite a stir in the Houston racing scene, and I wouldn't be surprised if one of the LS1 guys has stepped up with some F/I to beat him (and surprise him possibly) on a highway run... post a link to the video, I'll laugh - in fact I'll receive great enjoyment from that IS300 guy getting owned by some LS1's...

You were the one saying it was somehow great for an import sedan with a tiny turbo and I6 to somehow beat the big and bad domestics with those large engines when in reality people were just trying to let you know it goes both ways as far as modding and it goes as far as the money owners want to put out.
it's an age-old internet flamewar banter - "oh that car is faster than this other car??? well, if you put turbos or supercharger etc on the other car, IT would be faster!!! hahahahah!!!"

somehow great for an IS300 to beat a Z06?? you don't think that's something noteworthy? sure, the Z06 would be faster than the IS if it had TT's - so what?

"coulda, woulda, shoulda... if, but, then, maybe...."

There are some fast LS1s here in Houston but alot of fast Supras and other fast imports that will give them a run for their money.

sure... tell them to bring it... actually I'm curious... I know there is a board called Houston Racing Scene or something, probably others... I bet there are threads about this video there... might be time to do some research...

If i'm not for certain it looks like one of my brother's friend. My bro goes to college in houston. That guy is running 3 bars of boost which is equivalent to about 27lbs. of boost.

Three bars is about 43.5 psi of boost.

In one of his vids he states that he's running 3bars but says in the guestbook that he has yet to crank the boost to the max.
