I'm guessing the car will very likely do high 12s, if not maybe mid 12s 1/4 mile. 0 - 60 should be well into the 4s, but low 4s are unlikely.
One thing for sure that we know is the IS-F will be faster than the IS350 and handle better, only question is by how much.

Lexus never said the IS-F will do 0-60mpg in 4.9 secs. I recall them saying the IS-F will do 0-60mph ''in under 4.9 secs.''
Also, I remember a member on here asking if the sport paddles were plastic. They looked and felt like metal and appeared to be thicker then the regular IS models.

They aren't real chrome. They are plastic with a chrome like appearance. real chrome would get too hot and burn your fingers if it sits out in the sun long enough. They are the exact same size and deminsions as the regular IS shift paddles.

Let's not get carried away here... The difference between 5.0 and 4.0 is probably $100K... It's much harder to go from 5 to 4 than from 6 to 5.
This is like the Richter scale in reverse...
5 seconds IS350 40K
4 seconds Porsche Turbo $150K
3 seconds Bugatti Veyron $1M
2 seconds Formula One $Many Millions.

BTW, I'm way jealous of you guys getting to drive the IS-F's so early.
