Don't I Wish!
I'm surprised I was even allowed to sit in the driver's seat of this car considering how I "tested" the VSC on the GS450h 
. My guess is flipside909 and RMMGS4 were the likely culprits.
Just my quick opinion on the whole experience. Definitely "once in a lifetime". To actually be part of a select group of people to ride in a production car that's yet to be released, driven by pro drivers on a world famous race track is just incredible. As for the comparison between my IS350 and the IS-F -- THERE IS NO COMPARISON! This car is an absolute monster. Although I am extremely fond of my car, one of the complaints was that it was not stiff enough in the suspension and was really a luxurious "sporty type" car. Hence the modifications afterwards. The IS-F is ready to pounce right off the floor. The handling was absolutely incredible. I believe the driver was taking the turns at a consistent 60-70 MPH, with a full load of people, with no body roll. Inside the cabin, the sound was throaty enough on WOP to know that this is a beast, but not so loud that you couldn't carry on a regular conversation. After getting out of the car, I was literally speechless. Once I came back to my senses, I was asking if I could go ahead and just buy the red one as a used demo model
. All I have to do is transfer my license plates

So just to confirm for those who were there, were these actual production IS-F units? If so, how can that be if the car's release is still months away? Or were they simply pre-production test units?
