Default Black Mamba IS-F

I've seen a thread or 2 on this, but maybe not with the pics?

Yeah I think this has been posted before. Not feeling the set up. At this point any rear-mounted twin turbos on the F just isn't appealing.. it goes without saying that it was never appealing in the first place especially without a tune.

Interesting setup. As much as I like the wide body look, this one is done just a little too much IMO. Fox Marketing still produced a nice product for one of their customers, just like it did with their other F a few years back.

Looks good but that car probably doesn't run to its potential.

Probably not much different than my boosted IS250 in the area of it's low boost for minimal gains. Would be cool to have, but i know what my setup cost and dont think the "cool" factor would feel so awesome with how much that setup cost!

I def love your cool factor bro!! Especially with your "turbo chatter" between shifts did give me goosebumps bc practically unseen in an is250. So many options functional and non! thats what is great about the hobby with many conceptual engineering notions flying about..some work and some are discoveries waiting to be discovered! LOVE IT! hopefully Elmer and D3 come through..Novel will be interesting as well! Would I spend 10K plus for mod.. dunno yet but I love the engineering at hand
