Default This ISF may be too exciting for me.

So this old fart just took delivery of a '11 ISF.


Wow!, this car is sooo much fun!


Maybe too much fun, lol.


I gotta learn to be very careful with my right foot.


Traded two in. An '02 SC430 and an '08 RX400h.


Not sure if I'm 'mental' or not.

IS-F is like the perfect merge of your two cars.. a little bit of grocery getter and a little bit of sports car (well, a lot of sports car actually ).

It feels super fast at first. Then the magic wears off and the honeymoon is over. Thankfully you're coming into the ISF in its golden age. The new supercharger is about to come out. Tuning is showing real promise. More exhaust options coming.

It's good to be an ISF owner these days... Gives me something to look forward to.

I hear ya. The SC felt fast enough, for a while.

Sadly, that seems to be the case with just about any motor vehicle.. 'cept maybe a top fuel dragster, I presume

My 675 sport bike engine use to feel super fast.. After a few years, it became just fast. Though, it's still a thrill to ride on the right roads.

To the OP, congrats & welcome!

Congrats on your new vehicle! Definitely a lot faster than the SC or RXh for sure, and you'll still have a great ride feel and hopefully worry-free ownership experience. The two-tone wheels will always be a favorite of mine, even though it's not as wide enough to run the tire widths I prefer on the F. It's rare to see a set here, but I bet in Canada there the norm.
