Well, the M5 and E55 wont blow off the doors of a modded Evo. I've never race an M5 or E55 before, but I have seen video of it...Now, the vette is another story.

It will probably technically be the new Supra. They'll probably be on the same platform (kinda like the G and Z).

The car is gonna be front wheel drive blah.
Well, now that the IS has even more power, I only want to know two things...
1) Is there going to be a manual tranny?
2) How is this thing going to handle with all the extra weight of a V-8 under the hood?
And why the hell would that website believe the motor powering this car is going to be the 4.6 liter V-8??? Wouldn't that make this car the IS460 instead?

I was real close to gettin the IS350 over the G, no Mark levinson option/no 6spd are the ONLY reasons I didn't...

An all wheel drive IS500 will be excellant.
