Default Just switched from my g37 to an ISF

Hi all just wanted to introduce myself as the new owner of a 08 blk/blk IS-F with 78k miles. The Carfax report was 10 pages long with every maintenance done at Lexus. Feels different driving an auto again...

Very nice. I just had my 08 delivered a couple weeks ago. Black/Black with 35k miles. Unfortunately there is snow/ice everywhere so I probably cannot drive it for another month or so.

Beautiful F! You are lucky that at this very year, our ECU has finally been cracked! Expect some mad HP gains from tuners all around.

Thanks guys!! I live in Chicago....haha not going to lie having that car for so long, it did feel like it could use a TT setup but it was still a blast to drive and just enough to not get you killed

Did the same move as you did, never looked back to a manual after this car. The transmission in manual mode/sport modem is crazy.
