That car is absolutely legendary, outside of the Titan motorsports Supra that may be the most famous tuner car in the country and is probably hands down the most famous street driven tuner car in the country. I've seen it run in person and it sounds like heaven. If only I had 60 grand laying around...

Yes that car is a legend! Can't believe he's selling it. His car has been featured in many mags and numerous times in SCC. It's definetly a good deal at that price. Maybe he's working on the ultimate supra?!?

well "that" v6 is no ordinary v6. They had a really good article a few months back on sport compact car that went into detail about the engine.

^ Bullet-proof engine :D Why isn't Toyota not making those anymore? Because Toyota thinks being cool is lame. They'd rather be the retard down the street with all the boring cars. They recently gave up the Celica and MR2, completing their dream of becoming "The most boring car brand out there." Scion is just their attempt at beating Honda for the "Ricer's most preferred car vendor" award. I hope their stupid plans won't affect the Lexus line.

This is cool and all, but ummm....
The car is 100% as streetable as it left the showroom floor and has been actually used at a daily driver, many times.
TH400 with 2 aluminum drums and hardened input shaft.
Pro Street Tire
All factory options remain except air conditioning remain, which was removed to make room for the large front mount intercooler.
lol

Guys, I am pretty sure that engine was being produced until this year, the 2JZ-GTE inline 6 that was in the Supra is also in the IS300, just no boost. Correct me if I am wrong though.
