IS300 goes down

[YourHondaSux]

So I was leaving work last night around 10:30pm. It was nice and chilly (intercooler weather). I pull up to a redlight and next to me is a IS300 with some homey-G-funk-gangsta-dawg-Tupac-wannabe driving with his bitch/ho/shorty in the passenger seat. He gives me the look and the rev and it was on:evil2: . The light turned green and we both gunned it. He pulled about a bumper on me off the line. I got into second and it even'd out. Once I got into 3rd and my BIC downpipe really started screaming, he was toastwned: . I was at least 2.5 cars on him when I let off around 70. I was suprised I took him so easily but I figured I can credit a lot of that to the 200 pounds of bling on his rims and the other 300 pounds of stereo in his trunk. My mods are intake, BIC dp, bosch bov, mbc@10lbs. and thats pretty much it.

We had a lexus dyno at the Louisville meet and I was pretty disappointed in the numbers. I think it made 177rwhp. I dont really know what I was expecting, but I thought the 2jz would have more than that. His car sounded real good though. Anyways, nice kill.

Nice kill ....But not to be a prick thats the best you did against an automatic N/A . I just test drove a 01 IS300 and my 5spd supra with less mods then you and running stock 5psi is quicker .I'm not trying to bust your balls but maybe you should give your car the once over . Again sorry to be a dick I dont want to start a fight/flame fest it just sounds odd to me

 

[Ckanderson]

you should have beat him by alot more.

I have similar mods, MBC@10psi, Blitz cat back, HKS high flow cat, HKS DP, K&N FIPK, HKS BOV and custom hard pipes, and a venom 400 also some other misc. mods, anyway I have raced only 2 IS300's, a 5 speed and an auto, both had intakes and cat backs, but niether put up much of a fight. The 2jz NA puts out decent power for an NA but someone told me between thier tranny and the retarded timing on the IS300 that they don't make anywhere near what an NA mk4 makes. IDK about the timing thing but I know thier gearbox sucks a lot of power.

To give you an idea, from a dead stop I have 8 cars by 80 or 85, from a roll I lose count quick.

Honestly, I don't think IS300's are that fast, overrated just a little bit. I beat one with my completely stock eagle talon.

 

[whenmunkysfly]

i beat one in a 92 1.8l 8valve 100hp vw golf. i dont know maybe its just the years of racing that did it maybe he just sucked or maybe the vw's just pull hp out of their ass. it was on the freeway starting from 70mph

Geez guys, thanks for shooting down my first decent kill. :icon_conf Its possible he had upgrades. I didn't exactly stop and ask him for the specs on his car, plus I don't know much about that car to begin with.
