Um, there most definitely IS a 2014 IS-F lol. It's the rarest of them all.
and yes, the LC500 has more HP than the ISF, but the ISF has a faster 0-60 time and faster 1/4 mile time as well.
Besides the motor being the same, I don't think the ISF and LC500 are comparable cars. Having a '12 ISF, nothing about the LC500 interest me enough to drop anywhere near 6 figures on it. Now in a few years when the LC-F comes along, I'm quite sure that'll be a whole nother ball game! Patiently waiting!

we won't know if the ISF is faster or not until enough tests by reviewers are done on actual production models of the LC500 I think ......

The LC500 and the Lincoln Continental are two (albeit very different) cars I am interested to see what they can become when custom shops and tuners get a hold of them. Both easily have potential for over 500hp, and would look good with a mild drop and more aggressive custom wheel setups.

I believe your numbers are in fact incorrect.

If you want to compare the LC (a brand new car on a brand new platform), compare it to the yet-to-be-introduced LS, which will be its full-size sedan counterpart.

I'd like to hear your thoughts how Lexus could cut 500 pounds, what did the engineers do wrong?

Well, IMO, they could start by making it a classic 2-seater instead of a 2+2. In all but the very largest coupes, the rear seats are all but worthless for adults anyway....usually suitable for nothing more than a package shelf, or for small children at the most.

Except then it would be compared to the Corvette and other true sports cars and would still be 500lbs too heavy.

The reason they do this is for insurance classification. Those rear seats save the owners money, and they're there for use in a pinch if they need them.

The light ultra performance sports car segment will be filled by the Supra. Also removing the rear seats is not going to shave off 500 pounds.

These seemingly minor things that change a car's classification are important to a brand. The rear seat inclusion (just like in the SC430) is similar to the reasoning why the USDM NX has the awkward looking front bumper compared to the rest of the world markets. To be classified as what it is, the NX needed to have a specific amount of front ground clearance.

Why do you think a Porsche 911 has back seats? Thats why. Its also the reasons things are how they that the other members posted about above.
