Default Matt Farah to possibly test ISF

We all know Matt Farah's smokingtire youtube channel and how he does those one take reviews of people's cars, well I saw a thread on here about how some of you guys wanted Farah to test an ISF because you'd feel he'd love it and that some of you feel it needs some more recognition. A couple weeks ago I commented on one of his latest videos at the time saying he should test a 2010+ ISF and now by coincidence in his newest video with the blue v6 mustang theres a grey ISF there in the background that looks like it was going to be tested by him. Shout out to the owner of that F!!!

He can't fit in our seats. Not made for a guy that goes 250+!

LMAO Bro, I am 6'5" and 285 lbs. I am much bigger than Matt Farah Also better built . He has man boobies. I work out 7 days a week. LOL think NFL vs bowling league . F seats hold me.....barely but they hold. Actually one of the negotiating tactics I used when I bought the car was to tell them I might walk on the deal because my back barely fits in the seat. Relative my my LS460 she is small but it still works.

If I ever miss my LS460, I just floor my ISF. That fixes it every time

Even better! Thank you! Just finished watching the video...it looked like an 08 model. I have mixed biased feelings...of course I'd wish he would have been blown away, but he wasn't harsh. It is what it is. Thank you for posting the video and thanks to the IS F owner for lending his car...

Wow, Matt Farah drove the first tuned ISF in America!!!!
Also, I believe that car has frame damage--I remember an SGM with tinted tails and a "tune" selling in Utah/west coast area for cheap.

What an example to have tested

As I expected, he didn't like the seats. :-)

He doesn't seem to know that much about the car, especially the gear ratios. 1-6 are all >1:1, only 7 & 8 are overdrives. Super short 1-6 with a tall sub-3:1 final drive explain to the how the car revs and important to the character of the vehicle.

Kind of weird review...it's almost like he's trying to find faults but can only harp about the seats and then lastly the gear shifting console...
