yea that is true...like everyone has been saying...they are two totally different cars so its kinda hard to compare them. it's just an overall hard call b/c both cars are nice and are around the same price range. basically what it comes down to is i KNOW that if i get the s2k...i will LOVE it...and the only thing i might regret is that it's a two-seater. however, if i get the is300, i will love it of course, but i think i'll regret not getting the s2k.

I don't recall my S ever losing to a Z06.












Of course, I've never actually raced a Z06, but I've never lost to one.

I just don't see how you can compare a full out sports car to a luxuary sports seadan. Of corse the numbers on s2k are much better, but the ride quality and the whole package the IS300 has is amazing.
There is a 600+WHP IS300 running around the NoVa/MD area i saw about a week back that was sick and they also make great drift cars(altezza's in japan), autocross, drag racing, even dyno queens when you put a 2jzgte in there or just a weekend cruiser with your freinds/family. With the S2000 the car is almost maxed out from the factory and doesnt respond as well to forced induction and has a harsh ride on the streets.
The IS300 has my vote for modibility(is that a word?)

I would get an IS300 simply because it has the 1jz engine in it...(i think that's the right one). Anyways, it has the supra engine and from what I understand those can take 700+ on stock internals....right? I need education on Supras anyways, i don't like to race against them...and I would love to have one. You would have the best of both worlds if you had the Lexus I think.
