Didn't get a chance to speak with the owner. It had the complete VIP "Junction Produce" thing goin' on.
I'm guessing probably like 12.7 in 1/4 months miles.

I had an is350 stock. Now have a 2008 isf. Did 13.5@103 with the 350 and 13.1@111 with the isf. Both bone stock and same track/driver/similar weather. I'd say. Never try an beat an isf from a roll 😉

Agreed from roll or highway IS350 have no chance. That's what I'm worrying about thinking of trade my IS350 for IS-F, and added another $9,000. But might get IS-F that only run 13.3 second, but if it run 12.8 or better I'll be happy. If I could do it again I would get IS-F for sure instead of IS350.

You should go for it. The thing I hated the most about my is350 was the laggy shift response from the shift paddles and the shift ****. You could only leave it in auto for the best time when doing the 1/4 mile times.

I don't like to used paddle shift. I'm mostly on auto and sport mod. If I get IS-F probably 2011 and up or wait for RC-F. I can't stand the rough ride on 2008-2010.

there is always that guy in the is350 that will run into a slow isf driver (even though its rare to come by) and think they are the faster car. if we are talking car for car, the ISF is a much faster car. my car stock was faster than a friend's is350 with full bolt ons and nitrous. with my new job and me having to be very careful how i drive around my area, i can tell you, with full bolt ons and a tune, the isf "feels" like a monster in every gear and every speed.

You are gonna get back the 9000 dollars when you sell the car. I bought mine 2 years ago for 30k canadian and they still sell around 28-30k. The isf as a cheaper cost of ownership than is350. Think about that one guy that bought a twin t supra in 1995 😉

WTF This statement tells me everythingI need to know. No self-respecting true AUTO enthusiasts would ever make such comment.This tell me you know nothing about ISF our even your 350. In order to exact the most performance out of either car you need to be in Manuel Sport Mode with nannies off. You just leave it in auto and smash gas peddle wow really?

He keeps repeating the same stuff over and over especially 12.7 ISF 1/4 from auto mags even though Dragtimes and other publications you see stock times from 12.3 and up and he fuses to acknowledged this fact. He keeps talking about his friend that doesn't no how to launch his ISF 13.3 time and keeps refer to that time. This thread IS GOING KNOW WHERE will moderator just shut it down already this guy is coming off more like fanboy troll than enthusiasts with legitimate questions.
