Considering what to get next?

[lex_addict]

I'd say either the 04 Solara v6, or the gs400

It's true, the GE engine isn't as strong as the GTE engine. But is 600HP+ good enough for ya?

For turbo, forget about GS4/3 and Solara. IS3 is the way to go.

Otherwise, step up to rear-wheel drive and get yourself a GS.

^ Exactly.

You're talking about 600hp vs 1000hp stock bottom ends. But consider the fact that more than half of our cars have 1/3rd the power of 600 horses...

How 'bout a 92 Camry LE V6? Ok, still not funny eh?

I think the question is, do you plan to mod it and how far are you willing to go?

Personally, I'd go with a newer IS300.

[MRQtwinturbo]

I call less than 1/4! :\

the IS cause its sportier, and will fit your and the wife in the front and any future kids in the back and still have some space left over

First question is what are you going to use teh car for what do you want out of it and do you want to get back on teh modding train again?

An 01 IS has no armrest but can be added. an 02 model is better
I still don't think an IS is the best for the money.

A GS 300 is a nice frame car with an engine made to be turboed. If you aren;t going to be doing that then don't buy it it is also cheaper so there are lots of black kids around T.O. driving 300's because it is the closest they can get to a GS 400. For a GS 3 it would be better to buy an IS with the same motor and less weight.

The 400 is a great machine easy to drive daily but still lots of fun.
There are lots of upgrades but in the high $$ mark.
Also teh new GS comes out next year so the old style will depreciate. But it is true JDM VIP style if done properly with a fat wad of monry thrown at it.

The solara? it doesn;t figure into the question, as i am still not sure what you are looking for and that car is in a class by itself.

Oh yah do you really want to go RWD for teh winter with only one car?

New Solara Converible

[DryIce]

dude get the solara, everyone else has a lexus, so go wit sumptin that no one else has, be original, sides my uncle has a solara and they are fun as sh*t. So dont go with the flow, get a solara.

[Number Eight]

I'm just wondering a few things:

i) How are you planning to use the car?

ii) Planning to mod it?

iii) Do you REALLY want a V8 with gas prices the way they are?


But GS all the way!

[JustAnotherAsian]

we dont even know how hardcore youre gonna go with the mods.. so if the mods are heavy engine wise, the gs 300 would be a perfect candidate cuz of the 2jz and heavy/stong chassis that can handle it easily. therefore, thats my pick. you can practically make a 4 door supra cuz its only a few hundred pounds heavier.

[02RSX90camry]

why does this keep coming up! didn't they already buy an 04 solara?
