I own a 1st gen IS300 and what I always find odd is how Toyota managed to get it down to 3250lbs considering it has that monster iron block 2JZ in it. It doesn't lack sound deadening, it has airbags all over the place, it has a nice interior, RWD, minimal use of aluminium, ect, ect. Where did they manage to compensate for that 750lbs engine? Oh and it wasn't a high priced tag car either. Even in it's day it was light considering the engine.

See you are being realistic though. For that car 3,250 is a great number. So many guys would say it should be 2,500lbs and $5,000 cheaper with all that.
