who can make BIG power like that??!! I dont know how much it cost to make a 400 or 600hp Lexus, but judging from the article, it seems they are making kits for it and its gonna be running everywhere on the streets near u!!! I would hate to pull up next to one of those even in a 911 turbo and get blown away.......... Damn! I was so sure my next grocery getter would be a new A4 but now im thinking towards that lexus.......

There is a lot more to a car than pure HP. Btw... 400-600 is a HUGE gap.
How bout the 500+hp Audi TT in that recent edition of European car? I bet it would smoke that IS300 in any type of racing.

Yah but how much does it cost for that kit?
That IS300 kit in the mag is not exorbitantly expensive by any means. I called them up and they said 7500 for everything including labor. That is a very fair price for that much HP. Try making that much HP in our put put 4 banger...you'll end up with a hole in your pocket so deep you'll have to declare bankruptcy.

That is not the point.
The point is that they have a kit out that will blow the doors off our cars anytime anyday....where's our kits? A measly 300hp....PPPHHFFffff pathetic....that's what you get for buying a 4 banger.
