IS350's are frigging fast. Auto or not if I were to get a car like that it would be an auto anyways.

The new is convertible is something else, at least its not a soft top convertible and its a coupe. Looks a little odd right now but it'll grow on me.

As far as the lexus vs the z's ride..you can throw the best coilovers/airbags on there and it still won't ride like the lexus, nor will it be anywhere near as comfortable still. But like Eric said... Luxury vs Sport. Didn't pay for the z to have a butter smooth ride.

Jason I called ya back the other day. I know it seems I probably always ignore you or something but my schedule is literally messed up.

Jake, any particular reason why you went with the JWT combo? When I was clutch shopping a year or two ago, I thought about this, but I went with Exedy stage 1 instead. I was told by several shops that Exedy had a higher torque rating than the JWT and could take more while JWT was the more popular and well-known brand. Plus, I got my Exedy for dirt cheap.

BTW, is that dog a JRT? If so, you FTW. I used to have a JRT and he was awesome, although he had a very aggressive demeanor.

I was going to go with exedy and get the nismo fly (I wanted clutch and fly together) in regards to "less chatter" but when I added everything together (along with all the other parts I wanted/needed) it ended up being more expensive. I think car parts are the only thing in this world that get more expensive as time passes.. .. I also couldnt pass up 775 shipped to my door (w/everything included) vs getting individual stuff shipped (costs more). All in all Im satisfied and hope to be more satisfied after the install.. I also got opinions from those w/ the JWT clutch who race/drift/autocross and they have NO complaints..

btw, yes that is a JRT..I have 2.. they are the closest I want to having kids...LOL..

They are brilliant lil companions..

Hey Jake & Jason, this could be a good reason to get some peeps together for a clutch install & meat / BBQ.
