SIR_VTEC Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 All I have to say is this: Pure Sex Im glad Lexus went back to the 300 style, the 250 was looking pretty ghey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben. Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 dam that thing is nice, sounds like a beast on the vids! 5.0 V8, cant go wrong with that! lets see it up against the M5 though.... Sure let's line a 30K dollar car up against a 60 or 70K dollar car and see how it competes. Sexy bitch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Nah. Evo's aren't some Godly car. You must also keep in mind Lexus isn't some performance car creator. This car will probably come nicely equipped with a killer interior and great features. Whereas an Evo.. What, paddle shift? And yea, the IS-F is rumored to be an M3 competitor. Which, isn't bad. It's more affordable for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I'd take the F...pear white and nice body kit and dropped loooow...pink/purple arc lines on the sides wow had to find the specs. lol IS-F M3 416 hp 414 hp 3780 lbs 3648 $56k $57275 0-60mph 4.6s 4.8s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 i still think the bmw will out handle and be more fun to drive than the IS-F. BMW has always had the ability to just make their cars more fun to drive than the competition. i mean look how audi has been trying to compete with them for years and the beamers still out perform them. although with lexus' determination to gain perfection i bet they wont be behind for much longer. edit: fck me runnin, it's got an 8 speed tranny!?

TS John Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 This is the first time I've seen pictures of it in black, rather than the lame purple color they were originally showing it off in. Black cars just look so nice... Looks, sounds, and (I'm sure) drives sexy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the bmw's handle is not as tight as lexus due to lexus being a more luxurious car. I've test drove the m3 and it handles like complete garbage. The IS F is definately better over a m3. This car is very impressive considering lexus really doesnt market to the performance side that much.... The exhaust is also pretty unique its a stacked 2x2 and sounds like a beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 yay! the F wins! another car better than the m3! I'm very happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 really because i've seen a side by side comparison and the bmw would always come out ahead? maybe thats because the bmw is better on a track and the lexus is better on the road. i do remember tiff specifically saying that the car felt much more at home on the road than on the track, where as the bmw was more tuned for the track. edit: sir vtec did you make sure to take the 30 minutes it takes to set the car up right with all that i-drive stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 8speed??? little over the top ? Edit: i'll just take a base model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddySol Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Not quite sure I understand the going back to the 300 style comment... ...but anyway, it's a nice car and indeed has a beefy growl with the speed to match. After the L-Tune debacle, Lexus had to pull out all the stops to make a blip on the M3 radar. Overall tho, I doubt BMW has much to worry about the IS-F. By comparing the stock IS350 vs 3-series, I much prefer the ride of a Beemer vs. the Lexus. I'm sure many other BMW purists would agree too. Not saying I'm a purist...I would be happy to have either car: just remove that ugly kit on the IS-F before delivery please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
