Attention in the isf?
#31
2012 USB with white interior. I've had people at gas stations ask me about the car. People pull up to me and point inside, while talking to other passengers in their car. Had a few people follow me for a while, right up behind me and on the side.

just the other day on the street, stopped at the stop light and i hear, "excuse me! excuse me!" my window was cracked open so i turned my head and saw two ladies in an accord. the passenger goes, "is your car faster than that one?" she was poiting to an IS250 that was right next to me. i said, "a lot faster." she goes, "a lot faster, huh? i wish i could ride wit chu! sounds real good, too!" lol i nodded and hit the gas as the light turned. haha

I get some attn, but not a ton. Also i've never had someone try and race me that wasn't a friend going to the same place.
most of my attn i think is the headers/intake/exhaust combo, sounds really mean, and people look surprised it's a Lexus.
Yet the wife says people look all the time and try to race her..... so, maybe i just don't notice, lol

I was out test driving my cousins to get feel what an IS-F was like and I stopped at 76 to top off and a guy maybe a couple years older than me about 20, 21 comes over, asked what type of V8 swapped into the car and I chuckled said told him that they come the factory like this and then he looks at me confused and said "I thought these were daddy's girls cars?" Then I politely exited the 76 with WOT...

If anybody is gawking or looking, I never notice. Every once in awhile someone will say something like "is that a 250 or a 350?" and I just laugh.
I really don't pay much attention to what other people are doing. I'm usually focused on going somewhere. FAST.

I actually think its more of a sleeper... And definitely better that way. Especially in OSB.
The poor lad in the red Ferrairi 360 the other day now knows what an ISF is... It took two runs to educate the man. As expected, first run was denial, second was validation.
Sleeper FTW.

Just have him call me next time you guys get together. Yeah a friend at work has been wanting to do a photo shoot of my car also. Yeah I've seen a few in the area. Zapa is the only person met with an F though.

To be honest, there are so many "nice" cars on the road in So Cal that the F kinda just blends in. But yes, it does stand out. I see more Fisker's on the road than ISF's which says a lot (although they're local).
When I see any kind of modded (even just tint or wheels) car like a Z, MS3, M3, Subie, Mitsu, etc... I notice they turn their heads when I drive by in the opposite direction. I drive a white F with a blacked out grill so it does stand out from that view.
For those in the same direction....I have a childish lic plate that doesn't help the situation (say "heart" fast if you don't get the joke):
