    Probably all the ones at Beth steel/sands casino cause I've never been there and it was a damn lot to take in for my first time being there. and from the autoshow, the LFA, the Aventador, Regal GS, and the BRZ. And would you have made the drive? it would've been at least 3 hours one way for you.

    contradictory post is contradictory.

    although I agree, I'm not a fan (at all) of that IS300. I like the subies, supra, evo, and stang.

    We get robbed on the GS. We get the old Solstice GXP motor and FWD while europe gets the exact same car with a turbo v6 and all wheel drive. This car is on the same chassis as the Saab 9-5 which has AWD/ V6T here in the states so the potential is there for the regal as well.

    ^^ agreed.

    well except for the IS300, IMO. Although we didn't get it for years after the Altezza came out, so yeah, even the IS300.

    I think once you get to 300hp you're good enough unless you're gonna be in some serious competitive races.
    but I'd turbo a subaru or is300 if I had one :D

    So, you want to swap all the IS300 parts for altezza parts, and this guy wants to swap his engine for a Nissan engine. Same thing.
