Default F Sport to track?
I read some where that Lexus expects some of their IS F Sport owners to take their car to track. How many of you guys take your IS F Sport to track? How often? Have you taken the car up to 100+ MPH? Is the car smooth even at that speeds?

Do you drive your car? I take it you do not own IS?

Well an IS350 F-Sport owner already tracked his car. Here's an account of an C43 AMG owner of how he battled an IS350 F-Sport on the track :

I don't have IS and I don't know of any track near me. I think it would be fun though.

The 2IS was very smooth at 100+, I see no reason why the 3IS wouldn't be.
