Yeah I was surprise to feel the IS350 F sport was much more responsive in handling then the ISF, the 350 also got more low end power too, the ISF feels kinda weak in low rpm.

I am guessing the IS350 F sport is very uncomfortable to drive daily, as most cars that feels responsive to drive on a track, is not comfortable on the street. A stock ISF is not comfortable on the street already, it feels all soft compare to the IS350 F!

I would imagine the IS350 F sport is very uncomfortable in daily driving.
its because the IS350 weighs around 3527 lbs. and the IS-F weighs around 3780 lbs.

the 300 lbs. weight difference, along with the stiffer suspension + sways on the IS350, and with the fact that I at least felt the IS350 was less nose-heavy (esp. on braking/turn-in) combine to make it feel more at home on a small autocross track. the IS-F isnt really made for small tight tracks like that, and is more of a big track car.

All excellent and correct points!

I think the biggest differences is from the stiffer suspension and sways, the weight difference and nose heavy bias also very true.

Compare to the IS350 F, the ISF feels all soft and weak.......it is funny, I guess everything is relative

I think ChrisBurke's IS F weighs in around 3600 pounds....
