Right...so I don't know what my "stripped nut" thing means on my avatar thing or whatever that is.... BUT - I want to know what ya'll think about the Lexus IS300. Although it isn't a supra, it IS a Toyota, and I CAN put a 2jz-gte in it, since it's pretty much the same engine...although I think I'd do better to install a single turbo on it. But anyway...what do ya'll think?
My other options that I was seriously considering were the mk4 supra TT or 350Z. However, the supra would be too expensive, especially all of the tickets that would soon accrue, and the 350Z doesn't have a back seat. AND YES, BACK SEATS ARE PREFERRED!
A good/fun daily driver indeed. Have you thought about an SC300?

I have to say, I have a secret love for the IS300s. I think they are wonderful to drive and provide a GREAT balance of practicality and sporty...ness. The tranny is a joy to shift and power isn't amazing stock, but it's great for an allround car. It was one of my favorites to drive at carmax.
Great car. It was #2 on my list after the WRX when I was shopping. (although a distant 2nd of course  )

If you need a back seat, and like the 350z, have you considered a G35? The coupe (IMHO) is much, much, MUCH hotter than the Z, and even the sedan is still a crazy sporty car. (It's not an M5, but it's a kick ass sports sedan).
But if you're talking about dropping that kind of money, an E36 M3 can be had for ~17.
A guy I know got his for 15. He had to pick it up in Miami, though. He has no idea how it could have been so cheap... :roll:

Cobetto is a bastard for picking up cheap, hot cars.
I considered buying a m3 not too long ago for a little under $10k
If I came across a good deal on a M3 right now it would be very hard to resist....
