i've had 3 supras, the fastest of which was around 750whp. that's a fast car.

the F is quick, definitely fast enough to enjoy the daily commute. there is always gonna be something faster, no matter what you have. the F is a pretty awesome all-around package, all things considered. only thing it needs is an exhaust imo.

Yeah it's funny that you say that, for some reason my F only feels fast whet I press the gas pedal.

To me an accidental 3rd gear power wheelie on my CBR feels fast all the time...not the ISF...but then again it has only 2.5 lbs per WHP. The ISF definitely "feels" fast though when I'm pushing her in the twisties with an open rear diff (long push) and trees on both sides.

Now that mine's not a daily...and it's been 2 weeks since I've driven it...it feels absurdly fast. When I was driving it everyday, I got used to the push and it was no big deal.

Missing your water when the well is dry helps...

Mixed bag for me. My friend was asking me the other day if I ever get bored of the power... at times I do but most of the time it's a blast. The low end torque def helps. As others have said if you're constantly driving it slow the ECU learns that way of driving.

Other things that can be done:
- turn off trac/VSC (5 sec long press on button while car is stationery)
- turn on sport mode
- use M mode
- get a throttle controller
- get good summer tires
