the is300 has the distant possibility of a 2jz-gte engine with a supra 6 speed tranny though... i agree auto is the think holding me back.. and im really supprised their 5spd sucks.i never really see wrx's cheap enough to grab my attention. i'd like to have class and speed and rwd (picky i know) ive also thrown the idea around about a sc300 5 spd. same engine, cheaper.. can probobly buy without payments, the aftermarket sopport isnt as great though in america, and i would want to at least do a nice suspension setup and a LSD. i now drive in orlando rush hour traffic alot.. and hoestly, the clutch kills my leg sometimes.. (ACT) if i went with a s240.. i KNOW a twin plate clutch would be in there.... im gonna talk to my parents this weekend and see what they think. the title is still in mine and my dads name, and since om at college, they pay insurance. they would like the is300 for the quality, safty and the fact im trying to pick up responsability and in a sence grow up but buying a nice car, and they MIGHT not go for me spending alot of time working on a project car while im in college.... i'll let you guys know how it goes... anyone have any other car ideas that would be reliable.. reasonalby prices, not fwd(sorry... its not me anymore) and not a lemon?
