save ur cash get the IS300, and if you still want the power, swap the motor for a 2JZ and voila u have a turbo'd IS300... the is300 and non-turbo supra's share the same powerplant so you know what the 2jz being swapped into it can do... this disgustingly rich kid just sold his fully built black IS300 to XAT racing after having a custom turbo put in the whole L-tuned lip kit, L-tuned rims... that **** is bad ***, but he's a ***** and said it was too fast for him, so daddy bought him a new M3... lol end of story

PS: XAT is selling it on their site for like 26K

Just sell the civic and get the IS300. A civic is still a civic even if it has a K20. The is is a great car and rwd 6sp. It is just as fast if not faster then a K20civic and with just a little mods can be alot faster. Also you get a great interior.

just to correct another great man in this post who know's to get rid of the vic... but dave the IS300 comes with either a 4 spd AT tranny or a 5 speed manual... now if he did the ballsy thing in the matter and got the IS and swapped the 1JZ non-turbo motor for the 2JZ twins and the supra 6-speed manual box then it would be a fast mothafucl<a and like you said, have the sexy feeling of suede all around him

I want to do the swap so bad but I have to wait until I grad college, but if I get a good job, im going strictly german cars!

I think a swap would be sooooo tite, but an is300 is reeeel nice.

If money was not an issue, I would get the IS300

last time i saw it he had two rockord sp3's two 2400 sub amps all rockford 6x9's and a 1200 watt amp for his 6x9's. hes also has the pioneer 9500 head unit that is pretty much impossible to get a hold of now unless you know someone who has one. its all in a glass enclosure that he built i was told i never saw the entire finished product. heard it was off the chain though.
