LOL. Man you had me laughing.

We are dropping like flies. j/k. I still love the LS for its baller status and it looks amazing with the 22s on it. My issue honestly was the handling. I would punch it ito a left turn and the Michelins were gripping like crazy but the car would roll like nothing I have seen outside a Caddy Coupe De Ville. I just wanted more fun in my driving experience. This ISF is literally as far opposite of the LS as you can get outside the LFA. Its small, loud, bumpy, and pure in its purpose. The LS is large, comfortable, quiet, and does everything other than handling very well. I will miss the stereo. I have the ML system in the ISF too but it cant get close to the concert that the LS stereo was

I thought about waiting but couldnt. This car was in very good shape and only has 21k miles !!!! Apparently the last owner had three cars and needed to trade it for an SUV

I wil try It's an act of self control just driving to work. Some old guy in a TEsla model S tried to play with me on the way to work and I had to school his *** in the art of F. The ISF dusted that thing on the open road

To be honest the LSD was the main reason I wanted the 2010. The 2011 has the nicer dash layout but the few on the market around me were relatively high mileage. If it was an 09 with the same mileage I would NOT have purchased. I going for performance so the added mild cosmetic tweaks and softer suspension i the 2012's didnt appeal to me. Every time I going over a bump and car jostles me I just start smiling. This thing feels so hardcore relative to the LS.


As far as mods this may be the first car I have ever owned that I dont plan on doing anything significant to. Outside of switching up to the wider tires on the stock wheels and maybe an intake to make a little more noise before the crazy induction noise starts at 4k, and maybe a set of upgraded sway bars ( in my opinion sway bars is a no brainer mod). In the end I have had exhausts on my G35 and GS and they droned too much. It was annoying. The ISF exhaust is , imho, perfect. Its deep when you on the throttle lightly, silent when cruising but LOUD when you get on it. I know there are sway bars for the ISf but I honestly , at this point, I cant imagine flatter handling in this car.

Congrats on the F man!! Also sad to see another long time LS member go, but hey we're still all around!! I was actually looking at a few F's myself after I sold my LS, but I ended up going the AMG route Enjoy that thing sir!

Looking to make the exact opposite switch .

Good luck with the F. It's a fabulous car.

Oh, and put the car in sport mode with manual shifts, take it up to 60+mph, and then as you slow down downshift to second around 45mph...oh what a glorious sound.

Enjoy your youth. Once you get older and arthritis and other body pains set in, you will once again appreciate the LS ride.

Tammer..congrats!!! Enjoy the ISF! I cant believe you traded in with the wheels..could of made at least $1500 easily. I'm in the same boat now. We use our new SUV for family stuff. I would love to get a Caddy CTS-V manual transmission and part with my 600 believe it or not

What?! Don't make me come down there and slap you!

Somebody's going to get slapped.

CJITTY

Lol..I was waiting for that haha. Don't worry..600 is still in the garage. I have the itch to get some type of V8 rear wheel drive car with a manual tho #MidLifeCrisis

Should have waited for the RC-F you would have been the envy of all of us but also have paid a lot more. Much more worth it though

I am done with the first year models. I dont care what it is or how much I like it I am done with that BS. My last three cars were first year models and they had their issues. I am looking for headache free motoring . Thats why I stayed with Lexus and I went with a model year three years in on the generation. Usually far enough for some tweaks and to get the bugs out

Remi

Sweet ride! I almost bought one instead of the 460, but the kids didn't fit

I would have done the same thing! Anyone want to trade me their 2010+ ISF? They are a lot of fun!

I'm surprised you beat the Tesla Model S as much as you described. That thing will do 60 as quick as 3.9 seconds, which is definitely faster then the ISF. Must have been the driver. I would love to own a Model S. Beautiful car and the only large luxury vehicle to score higher then the LS 460L in consumer reports 2014 ratings.
