yeah i actually just watch that top gear episode. i was impressed with the isf... never really knew they were that impressive till i joined this site. and you are correct the gtr is a better track car then a road car. my neighbors 19 year old son has a black 2010 gtr... yeah i said 19 lol... i was in shock when i saw it was his. he got it as a graduation gift. nice ride i still think that car should have been like 600 hp or atleast 550 at ther asking price.

i am considering getting a 2010 zr1 vette . since gas has gone up the price has dropped on them about 15 grand here in houston. i dont think my wife will let me own two 2 seaters lol but i am gonna try

Just Atlanta? lol, try the whole state. I'm scared to speed through all of Georgia and I'm from Florida.

I've been up to around 130 but I wouldn't go any faster. There's no point.

The ZR1 is nice but anything that is boosted can have the power cranked up on it. I'm pretty sure with some basic bolt ons and ECU mods on the GTR, you would be able to make just as much as much HP (if not more) than the Z06. I'm not a GTR guy or a ZR1 guy but I would imagine that it's very feasible.

Default What's the top speed that you've ever taken your 2IS up to?

"Someone I know" hit 135 last night in their 350.

You?

125 on my way back from SoCal at 3am. I guess one of my bolts for my under tray was missing so that 125mph pull caused my front under tray to be bent downwards. Causing me to get 23mpg hwy all the way back

I pegged the limiter at what looked to be 145 by the speedo in my mom's 350, haven't had a chance in the right place or time to try and push my IS-F to it's limit so as of right now only 120

135 mph on IS250 AWD on Autobahn. wanted to push it harder but I got a little scared that other cars would cut me off. There are only 2 lanes and some people are stupid.
