I must say.....I definitely like the sound of those things.... and you have to have at least SOME admiration for the effort put out in making those monsters. As for the comment about more testosterone than $$... I cant afford an IS300 that is for sure....there is some serious cash invested in those cars. I am regularly amazed at the amount of time, money and "love" put into some of our Porsches... going to DE's and shows... these guys (ricers) would be saying "why would anyone put all that time into a car that only puts out 180 (or 240*grin*) HP and is 20+ years old. I have seen guys at DE's that baby their "average" cars and think they are just as nice and worth as much as a Deusenberg or Bugatti. I love my car(s) just as much as anyone.... but I also am intrigued and admire the technology that the ricers are employing. Sure, some of the stuff they put on their cars are silly and nearly any bystander would think my early turbo tail was silly and not necessary, but it is still neat car stuff... and I can't get enough of it! Just my thoughts, Brian
