So as you can see I am an RX driver...

I just read on Leftlane today about the F and this was actually my first time sitting there to read an article about the car. $56k..word.

I do have one question though...Why is the Japanese spec IS-f limited to 110? has anything been done about it or what are the laws..i'm just confused about that subject...enlighten me please!

IS-F's aero dynamic aren't capable of doing more than 110mph. I was told that the quad tips in the back produce massive drag. The car will disintegrate if you go over.

Seriously weak if you ask me.

what do you mean by that? The car is listed at going a top speed of 170mph...and people the have driven the car have most likely gone over 110mph...

yeah i don't know what you read or where did that come from?!

i sat in a is-f and i think on straight it went to about 120mph. pretty sure it was over 110 already. the car had no issues

I'm pretty sure STIG is being sarcastic!

...japanese-spec was limited to 110. i didn't say it could only go 110. but why in japan is it limited to such a low speed?

GFerg

wow, thats crazy. Never heard of that!! Maybe some sort of country law or something that is just taking effect?? Is the GTR speed limited in Japan as well??

STIG

Yeah, all the JDM cars are usually limited at 180kmph.

JDM GTR has speed limit via GPS, so I heard. It will unable the speed limited when you are on the track.

Did you quote the wrong post?

Even though, the one you posted still works

I agree, kinda scary, hope the slope doesn't get slippery.

When was the last time you saw a Japanese high speed police car chase televised? With the technology in that country, they would just take a snap shot and send you the ticket.
