I got it up to 137mph. I have a long 3 mile stretch of hwy when I go to work where there is no places for cops to hide, no billboard signs,no medians, nothing but open 3 lane hwy in Florida.I'm at 80 when I come around the corner in the far right lane and then from there on out it's 3 miles to the next exit.The corner is the only place a cop can hide once your past that down to 4TH gear and I'm gone.My commute to work every day :D I average about 80-100 on this stretch when I drive the F to work.

Welcome to the site!

It's not good to go past on public roadways :p

Mine is 130, I was racing a Corvette C6 and just wanted to rub it in his face a little :) It was on a two lane private dragway out in the middle of nowhere Texas

140mph on a track. I loved it! The car sounds so great when accelerating, I almost forget to slow down for the next corner:eek:

hit 140 mph on 2 or 3 different occasions. definitely once on this long and straight back road and once late at night on an open highway with three other people in the car.

I can't go faster than 65 mph because of traffic and idiotic drivers in Virginia, but I sure do enjoy sending in my $1,000 car payment and spending $50.00 at the gas pump!

Smoke what road are you talking about????

Sawgrass Expressway going north towards the toll plaza at the turnpike near Powerline Road. The 3 miles I'm talking about are the turn past University drive then the next exit is 441 (State Road 7).From the University exit to the next is about 5 miles so you have to wait till you go past the turn (after University Drive) look to the left the cops will always sit in the middle of the median, if they're not there then you have a good 3.5 mile stretch of hwy.Always be carefull though...:D 137mph :cool:
Btw would've gone faster but my exit came up pretty fast...5-7 sec :rolleyes: 1 mississippi,2 miss,3miss,4miss 5.. uh oh gotta get off now

Okay guys, I best I see here is 140, I hit that with my girlfriend in the car! I have hit 160 on state rd 84 in Weston Florida on more than one occasion. I have owned a 911, M3, clk 55 amg, this is the best, most fun car I have ever owned. I have owned it for 6 months and I still can't wait to get it it and turn off T/C and mash the gas to the firewall! I do need some more torque. Hope SEMA delivers good news!

I have to say something about G35 or G37 Drivers..So far about 50% of them will NOT mess with me once they see that it's a F not a 250 or 350 but an F while other 50%, the stupid fu**s doesn't realize it and still accelerate thinking it's plain old Lex when it's NOT!! That's the Beauty of the F!:mad:

Like the Lexus Commercial says: "Lexus IS-F! Everything you thought we weren't!!:D :D

148mph here - the rear felt light as hell but you still have a lot of braking power at that speed. Repeatedly up to 140 but rarely past it.

How about this - what is the fastest you have cornered in this car? 110mph for me in a marked 55mph corner. I'm still getting the feel of this thing, but you can pretty much corner at 2.5x the posted speed (of the yellow corner sign) without any drama.

130-135 on the back straight at Sebring Intl Raceway. Problem is that you are so focused on when you need to start braking for the turn, that you forget to check the speedo. Plus, you have to run with your windows down, so it gets REALLY LOUD in the car... :)

I am Daytona on the 1st and 2nd of November. Running the 24 hour course, so there are long streches of the high banked oval part of the track to try to higher speeds.

Well, I saw the 350Z coming in hot from behind so I got in the gas. The next thing I saw the speedo going past 140 and NO 350Z to befound in the mirror. This car feels great at hight speeds, I've been at 150 for a short time also. Love the IS-F =)

Well I've had mine bounce off the speed limiter, a few times. So I guess that would be 272kph or 170mph.

hahaha
02-16-2011, 04:07 AM
roughly how long of a stretch did you need to obtain this?
if you can recall

doublexl
02-16-2011, 04:45 PM
Not very long at all. I've done it on a few different roads with a few different people. Divided highway late at night, roads with curves, secondary highways. Great thing about the prairies is there are a lot of open roads with not so many people. I've done over 200 in town early early morning. That only took about 5 or 6 blocks to get up to that speed. The,most recent place I went max I would say it was no more than a few kilometers. I went 0-272-0. %&#@ing good brakes lol.

zero-dark-thirty on the highway with no one around, I hit 125 from cruising at 70mph. It didn't take long. Down shifted, stepped on the gas, up shifted, saw speedometer, brakes. It was quick to get up, that's all I know.

270Km/h which is just under 170mph but i didn't hit the limiter. Don't think i will though, if I was to speed i'll usually hit between 200 and 230Km/h but have hit 250 on different occasions. LOVE IT

Mine was around 130mph. I was trying to get away from an idiot S500 driver that kept pulling in front of me and tapping his brakes...for no reason that I could think of other than just to be an ass.

Do you own an ISF, and if so, why?

03-16-2011, 03:21 AM
lol, I guess they can enjoy the brisk pace getting to 100 and the nice sound...but to stop there on purpose is just being mean to the car...Wild horses must run free.

I got to 135 mph on the toll road heading into a turn it was scary. I had to mash the brakes so I didn't go into the wall. This car gets up to speed way to fast. :D

I didn't realize 7th gear would go all the way to the limiter.
