That Forza Moment When

You come across a certain car that's just an absolute blast to drive. For me, it was a 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STi, then it was the Mazda Miata Superlight. Now, it's this:

A tuned Lexus IS300.

I was gearing up (pun intended) for the Lexus IS series on the events list, and I chose the older IS because it gave me more wiggle room to upgrade and tune.

The upgrades are as follows:

Centrifugal supercharger

Stillen body kit, Forza rear spoiler (tuned for cornering), and VIS carbon fiber hood.

Sport tire compund

Full rear tire width

Rota P45R rims

Race clutch

Race transmission

Race driveline

Race brakes

Race springs/dampers

Race anti-roll bars/roll cage

Street flyweel

All this adds up to a PI of C425. With some slight modifications to the anti-roll bars and the suspension, the car handles beautifully. It was quicker than all the other cars on the track, and it ate the corners up.

I'm sharing it to the Oppo club if anyone wants to take it for a spin.

Why u no front splitter?

Also, no Altezza? Should allow for more PI.

I shall determine it's drive ability shortly. How do you share cars with the group?

It's RWD so I don't need a front splitter.

Also, it's a Lexus IS event. It wouldn't have allowed a Toyota, even if it is basically the same car.

You select the car in your garage, and go to "Share car."

You do need a front splitter, because racecar.

Seriously, you'll be faster through the corners with one. When Top Gear did the BritCar 24 hour race, they were 3 seconds a lap slower without their front splitter. They used a RWD BMW, so it does work.

Well, i once had the similar moment, but it was Gran Turismo with BMW M3 CSL E46. That thing, bone stock, driven flat-out could break 8 Minutes on the Nurburgring. Seriously.

My personal best time in GT5 with that thing was 7:50. I couldn't even get under 7:55 in E60 M5+racing slicks.

Mine was the 190E Evo. My God, I tuned that thing to B-class and it was such a blast to drive I couldn't stop. Another one is the new Camaro, I tuned it to A-class and it's fantastic. I have a wheel so that probably makes it so much more fun.

Sooooo I've tried your custom on the Burmes Alps and I'm in love! This thing handles PERFECTLY. My lap times get faster and faster.

I know! I might put the tune on the storefront.
