I've been waiting for a mustang to go against just so I can see their face after I smoke em but no luck so far. I do get a lot of attention from scion TC owners though. They either want to race or drive by my all slow staring at my car.
Pretty much says it all. Having a complete package is what the ISF is all about. Obviously, if all I wanted was speed, I could buy a cheap pony car, strip the insides, and drop in a crate motor angrier than Taylor Swift should be with Kanye West...which, I am planning on doing in a couple years for weekend car.
Was the guy blond? I didn't think they know what an M6 is. Unless it's an M6 with an STi engine. Oh God, forgive them for they do not know what they're doing.
I was also asked this question by a friend a while back.
My response was - Fast lol
I also had a guy have the nerve to ask me when I was putting a real engine in my F. I couldn't stop laughing. I told him when he got something worth while for me to race he could ask me that question again.
a good friend of mine's dad just picked up his shelby gt500kr today. it should go nicely with his 2 shelby gt500's. we were just playing poker this evening and i havent told him i ordered an IS F yet, or if he knows what they are.
i'll challenge one of his gt500's first. it might be interesting to see what would happen.
most likely i think i would need some power adders, but he has to work a manual, whereas i will only have to work 2 paddles.
1. Is it Fast? WTF am i supposed to answer to that? no it's slow as hell!
2. How much do you pay for that thing? That's just rude
and my all time favorite comment: Driving in my street and a neighbor runs out and waves me down, she says slow down!!!!!!! I tell her im not going that fast it's just the car makes noise, and she looks at me and says "that's a toyota, don't flatter yourself? lol ahahahha i laughed in her face for a while!!!!!!!
I use to get the slow downs in my neighborhood too and I would be doing 25 in a 25. I get "Is that thing fast?" "What does F stand for?" "Does that thing have a V6?" But the best question ever was "Why didn't you get the M3?" (from a kid in an old M3) I took him for a ride on back roads and he couldn't let go of the OH S$#& handel. All he could talk about afterwards was how much faster and much better it sounded then his M3.
Strange as it may sound even after year and half of owning it ONLY handful of people know what the F is!!
Or my favorite, dumbfu**s in my town with their stangs,Sti or 350Z with little mod or less rubbing their engines..Give me a Break!!
But ironic part is that the guys with better cars than me, I.E Z06,Viper,M6 etc..they don't try to race me b/c they know they can take me although I can keep up with them but that's about furthest it will be..
I don't get asked anything as no one knows what it is. And I learned the hard way on a tuned WRX STI. Damn those things are hella quick. All I can say is I kept up
haha, boosted cars are very fast nowadays. just look at the bmw 335,, put a $600 juicebox stage3 chip in it and its basically neck to neck with our IsF.
I am so tired of hearing about how much horsepower a mustang has and how fast it does the 1/4 mile. I bought a F because its luxury inside, its fast in the turns, it looks great, and its rare. I sell Fords and have driven the Shelby Snakes. If you only enjoy straight lines buy a Ford. If you enjoy touring at high rates of speed on mountain roads, and turning heads of women that do not smell like meth or gas, buy a LEXUS IS F.

Other guy said it looked like a hatchback! They're Texas truck drivin boys though i'm sure they dont see anything but an "import" when they look at it. My dad was like that too - until he drove it. He was giggling like a little girl after about 30 seconds.
That's ok though, anybody who really knows cars knows what it is.
