Lexus IS F

[jdando]

Puts on flame suit.........

Has anyone else been reading about this car?

It is a bit ugly in my mind, holy cow the engine and transmission look interesting. Forged crank and rods, titanium valves, variable valve timing, 8 yes 8 speed automatic:bows:

0-60 in 4.6 seconds

All this can be yours for about $61,000.

Not that I will be getting one anytime soon, but I do like the advancement of technologies to improve performance, economy, comfort, handling, etc.

Of to the dealer to get a closer look!

^^^^^ All of that...



0-60 in 4.6 seconds

^^^^^ And only that?

I'd expect better for all that fancy hardware and pricetag!

the exhaust on the back is completly fake. there it another pipe tucked up under there that is the real exhaust

It is also too Fing small to get into.

[Raudermaster]

8 speed auto? No thanks, I'd find myself in wrong gears at the right time if you know what I mean. Too confusing.

You can get a Z06 for about the same price. They are dealing.

Lighten up. Talk about the technology, think about the advancements brought by 5 years of automotive engineering. Think about what a Marauder might be like if it came out as a 2008 model. Think about slapping a super charger on an engine that put of 400+hp NA.

What would our engines rev to with Ti valves?

How well would our cars stop with 14"+ brakes? I know hard they stop with 13" rotors and track pads. How hard could you drive it into corners?

Sorry for the repost, but I do appreciate the technology and that was not touched on much in the previous thread so we are covering new ground.

Nice car and all but again I would take a Corvette and save money and have a better car or buy a Z06 and have an even better car.
