Which would be more worth while and fun to drive?

 

IS300 with 2JZ for sure. That's my next planned build once I get the evo to where I like it.

 

I would go with the 2jz in the fast lane

 

well there are alot of factors there. an evo and an is 300 are basicly the same price. now u add in a 2jz swap. with the money spent on that you could have a killer setup on ur evo

 

The 2jz lexus would be fun as hell. But so is an evo... thats a tough call

 

I'm guessing you mean a 2JZ swapped from a turbo Supra since all IS300's come stock with a naturally aspirated 2JZ.

 

There's a automatic pre swapped IS 300 on autotrader for 17k. Buy that and spend the money you would've spent doing the swap on making the car the way you want.

 

evo alll the way

I've heard of IS300 swaps. How does a swapped IS300 compared with an EVO?

 

I love my evo..

 

That is a tough call. I love evo's, but swapped is300s are sick..

 

u live in colo.. 100% evo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!if not i'll pass you on i170 in the snow heading to vail. :-)

 

my buddy raced one of those swapped is300's in his sti(full boltons and turbo upgrade)

the is300 could barely get traction, but when it finally got traction in 4th gear that thing took off. car was insane and built so good.

its all what you want out of the car. dont expect to be able to take a swapped is300 to a road course race or nothing

 

my uncle has a 800whp is300 fully built 2jzge
