New Lexus IS F...

Yes, it's a Lex, an overpriced Toyota...but damn. I watching the videos & i was like :surprise:. Besides the exhaust, it looks pretty damn ass, sounds mean as shit, seems to handle pretty well. & the auto/tip, whatever you want to call it, shifts pretty damn quick.

With a base msrp about $56K and the whack of techno treats it has, if I was in the market for something like it, I could probably be swayed away from the RS4 I've always lusted after...wow, 8 speed tranny, 13.2 sec 1/4 mile, 2 stage intake, 6 piston Brembos etc. hmmmmm, seems like great value for such a slick ride

 

13.2 1/4 mile?...that seems really slow to me for an IS...the Lexus IS is a small car and I would think should do the 1/4 in the mid 12's w/ the #'s that car puts out...

and is an 8 speed tranny really necessary? lol

 

i actually think the is/f is quicker than 13.2........ the regular is350 does damn near that.....

 

i would hope so...the weight of the normal IS is 3300ish lbs...i cant imagine they added 1000lbs to it...

 

still waiting to see more numbers...i think a buddy of mine drove one, they had a few lexus's at moroso to drive for an auto-x event...trying to get more info on that

 

I saw one of these in person at the SF auto show and it was pretty sweet looking. The exhaust tip design is wacked out but the rest of the car looked bad azz.

 

I like the look of it but it is still a Toyota!

 

that it is my friend...one expensive toyota haha

 

That is for sure.

 

lol...it's still a nice yota...

 

I have seen it at the auto show as well. Not that great to me, I would much rather have the new M3 or an RS4. Tiny inside, just felt like an overpriced corolla that hauls azz!!

 

mmm...rs4

 

probably what it is! hahaha
