I was reading that they had a trd solara which ran 0-60 in 5.5 secs, which I think is blistering fast. Thats faster than a mustang gt and that doesn't even include other simple engine modifications really. Now, the stock manual solara hits 0-60 in 7.1 secs while the automatic IS300 hits 0-60 in 7.1 secs. So when the TRD supercharger comes out you shoud basically hit the same time. I was also reading at the Rod Millen store that you might not want to go or wait for the manual to come out for the IS300, because they did a manual transmission test on a GS model and compared it with the E-shift and they said that the E-shift switches gears faster that basically anyone can shift with a manual and it also allows you to take it even to redline. The only advantage with the standard is launching. But with the 218 torque already in the IS300 and when combine with the supercharger I don't think it would really make that much of a bigger difference. I just thought I give some info for the people who can't decide between the two transmissions or just can't wait for the new IS300 to come out.
Small question? what exactly is a torque converter and what does it apply to.
