I agree.

The ISF on its own is a great machine and something great from Lexus. But take it to another level Lexus just dont drop it off with us and go MIA . . .

It wouldn't take much either! Look at the TRD kit..... Just not at that price!

That's just wrong. That car was never meant to DRIFT. The person driving and the person who entered that car as a drift machine was stupid.

It is meant to do this:

^ Exactly... You took the words right out of my mouth.... LoL

The Gazoo Racing IS-F was not entered into a drift race or drift program.

It was doing what they call "Demo Runs" at the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon - drifting show for the public...

LEXUS IS-F CCS-R Nürburgring 24 race version Demonstration Run at Tokyo Auto Salon 2012.
This car will be entry Nürburgring 24h race 2012. Driver is Akira Iida.
He is test driver of LFA.
It truly was an unfortunate incident..

You guys suggesting aftermarket parts are missing the point 100%

I am talking about a factory option, add ~30 to 50 hp is all I am asking and a few other trick enhancements

It's been a few years now

Will have to wait and see what Lexus has coming down the pipeline for the next Gen. 2014 IS-F...

What ever happened to continuous integration and agile development
This life cycle crap is out dated, when gpus change fabs every 6 months, waiting for an entire generational change is too long
IS-F should've been getting incremental improvements every 3 months or so, stock car should be 500hp from factory by now and a 7:40 to 7:50 Nurbrugring runner
