being on this board for some time now, i notice the nasty rivalry between certain type-s owners and the is300 crew.
I am not the one to diss or say that the type-s handles or performs better than the IS300, but what I do now is, racing a type-s with a stock auto IS will only make some type-s owners' egos bigger. 9 out 10 times, we all know the type-s will win in acceleration (no flames, all the magazines will attest to that and driver skill is minimized because there is no shifting involved)), so for those IS300 owners who race type-s, you will more than likely lose and by losing you will only make type-s owners ego better.
I am not dissing the IS, I'm getting it over the type-S because I don't dig the CL's design, but far be it for me to even think about having red-light race with a type-s if I had a auto IS.
it's an entirely different story though if you have a Forced induction 5sp IS. There are better chances of a turbo or supercharger coming out for an IS than there is for the type-S.
