1) 2001 Lexus Is 300 (215 horse's)

2) 1998 Lexus GS 300 (V6 engine 220-225 horse's)

3) 1998 Lexus GS 400 (V8 engine 300 horse's)

4) 2004 Toyota Solara (SE V6- 225horse's or 4 cyl-157 Horse's)

You don't have to reply ... just do the poll!

Thanks for your help guys!

if you have money to turbo the GS4 dont bother getting it because the kit is worth $20-32K USD lolz.. better use that money to buy another car.

Supercharging is a better option, much more wallet friendly.

dont get a 98 get a 2000 GS4.. they go for as low as $28K now..

Thats my vote...... GS4!!!

Wow, tough choice!

My first choice would be to go VIP style with the GS400. I've always been fond of the bubble eyed GS, not to mention the pwr. Although, it's 6yrs old now..it's still a Lex.

Unless you intend to drop a shit load of money to an IS300 to make it unique, I'd skip it.

I mentioned above that the GS was old, that makes a shiney new Solara a worthy contender. Being a previous Solara owner, you know how rare they are. Modding it won't be very fun though. Get a 'vert!!!

Okay, I wasn't much help but I say GS400!!!

GS400...as phi said its 6 years old now...but you can get one in good condition.

GS300s come with a 2JZ-GE. He could just bolt the turbo on.

I say IS300 just cuz its the car young professionals should drive.

really? from what i've read, the engine is in fact slightly diff btwn the NA and the TT versions, and the NA one can't handle as much boost stock.

Actually I wanna change my vote to the new Solara.... I actually like it... front & rear.... reminds me of a higher end Lexus
And's it's roomy enough and an upgrade to your current ride... so you'll know what to expect.
