ACT was much better than the SAT. Less bullshit and much quicker. And I would say it was more enjoyable than the SAT.

I always found tests fun. Idk. Better than class at least. Anyways, here's the story. When I took my ACT a few years ago, I was late signing up (I had already done well on my SAT so taking the ACT was a bit of an afterthought, but I signed up anyways) so I had to pick a test center in Virginia, pretty far from my home in MD. Being a useless human being, I left really late and had to drive excessively fast the whole way in order to make it on time. So, out in VA, pretty close to the test center, I was on the highway doing 85-90 in my IS250 (coincidence, I know, you posted an IS in your post) when of course, a cop parked in the shoulder shooting radar hits his lights behind me. It was fogging and rainy, and I knew that if I got pulled over, I wouldn't make it to the test. So, I did the absolute stupidest thing possible, floored it, and ran from the cop. I took the first exit, made like 5 consecutive right turns as fast as possible, pulled into a parking garage, went up a few floors, and parked. I waited a few minutes, set my nav to "avoid highways" and drove to the test center, and made it just barely in time, adrenaline levels through the roof . The first and last time in my life I'll ever do anything like that, and it was really dumb. I got a 35. So just go in there and do your thing. You will be fine.

Ha! At least you got a 35 out of all that! I'm not expecting to get anything too high, mainly because I'm terrible at math.

And yes I have a first gen IS, I love it. Speaking of the second gen...I saw this the other day.

First gen was better. Is it a stick?

First gen is still better. And sadly, no, it's an auto. I wish it was a stick but they are so damn hard to find. If I find one with low miles that's close to me I'll probably get it.

This is it:

Unless I am mistaken, your first gen has more horsepower (something around 230?) than my second gen, 204. My dad had a stick IS300 for a very short while. He crashed it. With me in it. Into a stream.

First gen IS300s had 215 hp stock. Mine has a couple bolt ons (SRT intake, OBX headers, Megan exhaust) and I dyno'd it. It was making ~165 whp totally stock (if it was stick it would make more because less drivetrain loss), 179.5 with the SRT intake, and with the headers and exhaust, 201.1. That means I should be making about 240 hp right now.

Thankfully, math is only one portion of the test...

The rest of it's not too bad.
