They're are better cars, especially if you live in the salt belt region

>>15160497

Have both.

>>15160503
Where's the salt belt?

Follow your dreams man. I sold my practical dd to get a 93 MR2, couldn't be happier.

i dunno anon, it all depends on how long you can put up with having no luxuries at all in the 240, and if you'll be able to cope with how miserable it's going to be to to daily, especially in the morning

Can you even handle a car like that? Sounds like you're getting a bit out of your league in regards to driving skill.

go get a v6 challenger like every other pretentious normie

Why would you swap out a nice newer DD for a shitty wet noodle chassis meme car.

I fucking love Medabots, Cyandog master-race

>>15160529

cant afford double insurance, 2 garage spots, double maintenance yet

>>15160548

The only luxury thing I would miss is keyless access. No idea what commuting in a manual is like but my morning drive isn't bumper to bumper assfuck anyways because leave at 7 to get /fit/

500hp would be out of my league but I'd probably start this with a stock sr20/ ~300 hp build anyways.

V6 Challenger is slower than my IS350 lol

>>15160497
getting one with 500hp means its going to be heavily modified.
can you trust your life in the hands of a retard with a few spanners?

>>15160704
idk dude 240s get pulled over a lot if you're alright with that.

Would you consider trading in your is250 or an older is300 in manual transmision? That would be pretty cool

>>15160497
It would rust away really quickly up there. Is there one you already have in mind that's already swapped to the SR20DET? Most USDM came with the shit KA24DE. Cheap cars to make into a track/weekend car, I kinda want to get one because I wouldn't be too upset if I totaled it or ragged the shit out of it. No way would it be my only car, though.

Can I ask you how the IS350 is in snow? I just bought my '07 a couple months ago and have yet to experience Winter with it.

>>15161552

its fine if you get snow tires. With blizzaks I can do 65 on the highway with anything less than a full blizzard. You have to turn the traction control off though otherwise it reacts to any slip by cutting your power to 0 for like 5 seconds.

This. After owning my Lexus, I could never go back to a sub-par interior. Too cozy mang.

>>15161657
I think mine has all-seasons. Would that be suicide? Lol

>>15161552
in chicago my rwd 08 is350 is shit.

I run ice x and if you hold the tcs button for 5 seconds it turns it off and helps alot

Question for both of you...

Any problems with piston rings / carbon buildup or whatever? I've heard about this issue and hoping I won't run into it as a new 350 owner.
