Hello Everyone!

Well i just got my IS F this past saturday and im in love.

I originally stopped at the local lexus dealer just to "see what they had" and they had a Porsche Caymen S. Well after talking to the sales rep and seeing a bunch of cars i didnt really care for he took me back to the storage garage and showed me the IS F and i knew i had to have it.

The Skinny

2008 IS F @ $49,200 with 5,000 miles - Was a demo car
completely loaded w/ tint, Nav, 19's, Brakes, Backup Camera, Bluetooth

Only thing i think i didnt get was the parking radar thing. Im not really sure what else there could have been. I never knew they made a performance car outside of the SC430 if you even want to call that a performance vehicle.

Thats about it! Coming from a 03 Acura TL-S its a HUGE change. First couple of drives made me tremble from excitement.

Thanks

OHH MAN I LOVE THIS CAR .... only bad thing is that it seems there arent any mods that provide real performance gains. Dont get me wrong, the car is a beast as it is but i have a habbit of wanting more

Welcome to the site! You're right, there's a big difference between the IS-F and the 03 TL-S. My wife has the 03 TL-S and I still like driving it when I'm not in the mood for agressive driving. However, I always look forward to driving the IS-F. Can't get enough of that power...

There are two exhaust/intake combos out (SRT and Joe Z). All I have to say about the SRT is do your research if your considering getting their setup. I am running the Joe Z setup and I love it. This is how the car should have sounded coming from the factory. There is also a noticeable power increase with the Joe Z intake tube and exhaust.
