Darbs242,
I am a former Lexus owner (GS430 & IS 350 C) and recently switched out my ride for the new Audi S6. I also have many years of racing experience, so I can appreciate the modifications you have made to your Lexus IS-F.
Yesterday, while I was driving 70 MPH passing some slower cars on I-89 heading north of Burlington, an IS-F showed up quite quickly in my rear-view mirror.
I had my two children in the car with me. When I finished passing and switched back to the right lane (still doing 70 MPH), the IS-F, with the Vermont plate "F", shot past me easily hitting the triple digits in terms of speed.
I was at the same time impressed (raw power) and disappointed with the display. You should take your car to a race track to do this type of driving. There is a nice track in Napierville, Quebec, less than an hour from Burlington, VT.

Be safe and hope to have a chance to challenge you against the clock on a racetrack or better, yet on slick Vermont mountain roads this winter!!!

Stock 4 door, 5 seat 2013 Audi S6 with 0-60 times of 3.7 seconds! Dreaming of days when the new 2014 RS6 will find it's way to the USA!!!
Sorry, the RS7 does not have enough headroom for adults in the rear seats!

Gotta give him credit...he spent the time to make an account, and dig up a thread from 3 years back just to tell him to slow down...lol.
Must have not had anything better to do on a Sunday. :laugh:
