Congratulation on your IS 350. I am local to you and I have an IS350 for about 3 weeks.
It's completely different than Evo but I love erything about this car and you can drive around without getting attention from cops.
It is pretty fast but not Evo fast. My Evo has GT35R, dynoed 465 ATW with 27 PSI. I might push 500 ATW with higher boost.
BTW, my cars black. I do attend DCEvo meeting on & off but I don't remember meeting you.
I tinted my car and came out really great. Enjoy your IS 350 and we may run into each other in NOVA but don't try anything with my Black EVO, you may comeback to Evo side again!

Any future mods planned for the IS350?

I know Steve.
I already ordered the rear spoiler and perhaps HKS exhaust in a future.
You should come out to Redshift (Chantilly) Barbeque this sunday around 2:00 pm.
Look at the DCevo forum for more info. I think I going.
Hope to see you around.

If you can disable that easily when needed then that kicks much a$$. It just sucks that I'll have to go with less HP in the IS250 because a manual is a must.
It is true

I picked the car up last night and man I'm in love! I haven't been this excited about a car since the day I bought my 2003 EVO back in March of 03. The car is very very quick and handles well. For those of you who assume it's a bore to drive because it's automatic, you are completely wrong. This transmission feels great and is unlike any auto tranny I've driven before! Don't believe me... then go test drive one to find out.
I think I'm going to be happy for a long time with this purchase. Only thing I'm missing is the XM radio that I had in my Accord Hybrid and of course the fuel efficiency.
