Default Good bye ISF...

Guys, it's time for me to move to a different platform. It's been six wonderful years owning two ISFs, I enjoyed every moment with them. Unfortunately I met a sexy car this past weekend while visiting dealers and I couldn't say no. It was hard to let my ISF go, but at the end it was part of the deal and I traded it in. This deal was totally unexpected, I didn't even have time to remove the exhaust or headers from the ISF. Well, hopefully the next owner will take good care of it and will enjoy it as much as I did.

Since I still own another Lexus (RX350), and I find this car forum one of the best on the Internet, I'll stay around. Now it's time to present my new baby...

Hey, congrats! It's a bigger car for sure. BTW, I like the engine! I have a similar engine in my X5M. It has effortless power from 2K rpm.

Nice change, love the color.

I had the new M5 for a few days a few months back, and that car would just not stick on the road.

even driving 30km/h and then giving it a little throttle and the wheels start spinning.

I found it's difficult putting the power down to the ground and we haven't had any rain for over 2 years so it's dry as hell here.

Beautiful color. Hope you enjoy the 5 as much as the F. You'll definitely have more tuning capabilities.
