Hey guys,
I'm planning on purchasing a Lexus IS 300 very very soon. They've only got the 5-speed manual right now, but there's supposedly a 6-speed manual coming out...so I'll prolly wait for that one.
Here's the thing....in stock form, the car is 0-60 in 6.8sec. That's not bad at all, considering it's a pretty heavy sports sedan (over 1,000lbs. heavier than a Civic (one of the closer comparisons, size-wise).
What are simple, rather inexpensive ways (seeing as I'd already be spending $30K+ to inprove the performance in this car?
Please give me some input and explain what each mod does.
Thanks!
