G8 GXP or IS-F
#32
You can do that do a G8 too, the engine bays are almost idenitcle. Or, you can just buy a MaggnaCharger, Kenne Bell, or Procharger, again saving loads of money. Also, the Aussie's make two (that I know of) twin turbo setups. The back seat and the trunk on the new Camaro are really small!

IS-Fly168 its clear you don't like the G8 but I find it to be one of the best looking sedans today. QUite frankly that is how the 5 series should have looked. It looks NOTHING like a G6, the proportions are completely different.

Exactly, the GXP can be modded very easily, one of the benefits to old school muscle.

When i looked for a performance car the IS-F was really low on my list. Even though I'm a lexus fan. The IS-F looks great and sounds great but it's not "dedicated" to me. I mean I would take the C63 AMG or the M3 over the Lexus anyday. I saw an IS-F getting laughed at driving around. From close inspection it's pretty funny for some people especially the exhaust tips. To show-offy. And to the guy who things the G8 and G6 look like alike? wtf whered u get that they dont look anything alike to me but hey whatever you think.

I'd take a G8 over an IS-F any day. 4.5 vs 4.8? No contest. I mean, the F is not even faster than an IS350, as shown in the youtube video. Also, the F is not a dedicated performance car like the G8. And the exhaust? My buddies laugh at it all day. Nice cars should have real exhaust design. In fact, I'm gonna save me 30k and get a Cobalt SS instead. At least the Cobalt has a real exhaust! And a magazine said it was faster around a track, too.

Am I missing something here? Owners of IsF are saying they will take the G8 over the IsF??? Wtf are you doing here then? trade in your IsF and enjoy your G8, IM pretty sure you will have plenty of money remaining to mod it too... Im sorry if I sound like an ***, but this is a Lexus Forum, so what kind of respond do you expect to have? Its like posting on a Pontiac forum asking about the IsF compared to their G8, Im pretty sure they will talk alot **** about our IsF. Might as well compare the new Hyundai Genesis sedan to the IsF. since the genesis is so luxurious. I might as well start posts everywhere, comparing the IsF with a dodge neon, they both have 4 doors. and post the isf vs a dodge ram srt 8. or the isF vs a chevy cobalt since it has a real exhaust. dude.....

why was this asked, why is this on club lexus, why are people without a G8 and/or ISF even talking about this? god, close this ghey thread, it doesn't even have funny responses like the other stupid threads.

american vs japanese
dojoman , GM is not dissolved , it's in chapter 11 .
And by the way I've spent $80,000 grand canadian on a American fully loaded cadillac 2009 CTS - V ! And I can say without any hesitation that it was well worth it !!! Nothing in my opinion after doing several test comparison's comes close to the CTS- V in it's price class .
