Triad... this is actually one of my new projects so I'm also trying to learn about these cars.
Here's a nice intro link w.r.t. engines:

Harder to bring in one now since they must mostly be older than the 4yr limit. Fine looking vehicle....i just find the stock dynos i've seen indicate they sure lose alot of power at the driveline. For 220bhp....they get 165hp on the dyno. And they're pretty heavy. Makes for a good tourer.
And of course there toyotas/lexus reliability. And last I checked, insurance companies weren't giving too much trouble to insure them.

Not 220 the dual vvti 3sge is 210. I have driven the 6 speed and the tiptronic and they handle awsome and they are very responsive and stop great. As for gas i guess trhey must be ok, i can ask mih bredrin and see but i guess it will depend on yah right foot as usual.

Nice car, but not a mod platform unless you have a lot of cash

I recommend the Altezza. I have driven one in trinidad, I owned an IS300, and I have driven in Civics and also owned an Integra.
Hands down the Altezza feels better than a Civic.

IMHO, the DC5 is a better buy than an Altezza....
I drive a Legacy turbo, and those 2.0 n/a K20's still hangin onto my bumper! for the price, the quality, feel and performance you get from a DC5.....its AMAZING!

Hmmm DC5 vs an Altezza? it is true that there are alot of cars out there that can give you more power for your dollar, (i think an altezza is 175k add 25k more you can get a STI or maybe an Evo for a little bit more) but it really depends on what u want in a car. I personally wouldn't by a front wheel over a rear wheel drive drift machine. Besides most K20s put out around the same 210 a 3s gives. just worry about power to weight. the altezza is heavier
and personally the Altezza looks and sounds a whole lot better

when u say IS200 you are talking about IG-FE
you could put a 3sgte in a levin and make it sporty....

or you could get the supercharger for the 1G-FE. then you get the best of both worlds sporty and luxury
