If you look at the Toyota brand as a whole my point is Lexus is top tier Toyota middle and scion the entry level name plate. I don't want to step down to lowest level personally. I guess since I ve already moved up to my IS stick. Why step down? It's like going from macys to walmart. It's not just the car but resale value parts service etc etc.
Lol, then go buy the Lotus? FYI, that car will murder yours even if you got that same HP. You could raise your HP to well above its level and that car would decimate you in any facet except lolskilldragging.
Simply: Its not -just- the engine that makes that car amazing (the Exige 260). Alot more engineering went into making that car a lightweight cornering beast, and THATS what the car is known for.

Alltrac: Can still find 'em, and still tune 'em, and its still just as quick in a straight as your susey car. Like that really even matters anyways.

How is it stepping down if the FT (badged a Scion) is superior to your GT-S in every way, and lacks only in straight line power against your IS while beating it at everyth--oh wait, I getcha now.

Its about image not about how it performs.

I understand, gotta keep dat street cred real yo.
