FI....

Me I love my G, I love how it looks from interior to exterior, i like the company, so i keep it and boost it, and trust me, after you boost it and tune it its not like your normal car no more, you'll feel like you're driving a new car haha. But then again if you want a new look or style then get a new car.

This was at the track, right?

You don't need FI to be faster than an IS350.

Also, if you're thinking about getting a new car because you got "smoked" by an IS350...that's pretty sad & histerical

Honesty, I didn't pay attention about the speed. All I know is that me and my wife took off when the light turns green. I was almost 1 & half car behind. I kept the RPM around 5000.

Maybe you should learn to work the clutch a little better.

Well, see this is the thing my car has been in the center of the spot light for few years at work, recently, a co-worker of my got the SRT V8 Hemi. He has been running his mouth whenever he can. (we are cool) But last Friday, I heard he called the vortech for S/C. He also said I won't even have a chance if my G go FI. This is why I have this thought between FI or new car.

If this is true, then it is going to be cheaper then going FI or new car.

++++1. No need for F/I to smoke an IS350. Yes it is funny if u would go F/I just to smoke the IS. LOL

Ha, as for a new car side of me. I had done a lot of thinking, such as USED M5 (new model), USED (RS4) or USED (older M3 with FI add on. New GTR is still my DREAM only.
