[jzz30]

my cousin works in the prototype industry for cars making new model dash gausge clusters, headlights, and so on and he told me that there are rumors of a production is 400 of 430 and it might even be a wide body but this is only a rumor nor did i wright this but seriously this is a real rumor

The original was built by TTE, they have now managed to supercharge it.....

obviously my next business trip to TTE in the new year will involve another test drive now the s/c is fitted

since you have driven the is430, can you tell us anything about it, how close is it to actual production? if it will debut, when do we except it available here in the US?

have thought about getting a BMW M3, would I be foolish in doing so with the IS430 rumors floating around? I do love my is300, and the lexus services, but man, the M3 is far more superior.

any info would help..

can we see some photos of this is430?
