Agreed! I get that the single gauge is more reminiscent of the LFA, though.

I actually don't live in SD, it's just that I was crazy enough to drive down to SD for a $4k below Blue Book deal that had to be made!

The real excitement will come when I take the F to Buttonwillow......

Buttonwillow is fun.. but don't expect crazy lap times (under 2.00 on CW13) with the IS-F lol

welcome and enjoy. not sure of the difference in feeling between older and newer models but i do love my 11'

i took it to buttonwillow a while back and kept right up with my pops 2013 boss 302, m3 and a few other cars but got smashed by a z06 those things are crazy fast and corner like none other!

either way if you hit up mulholland let me know i go there quite often there are lots of other side canyons in that area which are better and have less traffic and cops

Congratulations man, make sure you take the time to learn the F before you take it straight to the cannons. Keeping traction control ON may be a good idea for at least the 1st few weeks.

Congrats and welcome! I have a 2010 and a 2013, and in three years there have been significant upgrades in handling and suspension. Much less body roll in tight turns with the '13, much more confident to the point it is almost scary.

They all get scary near the limit.

Congrats on the F. You're about to have way too much fun!

The beautiful thing about this car is you'll never lose your temper when you're behind a slow car - you'll get around them in no time flat and you get to hear that lovely engine note. No complaints so far!
