I'm with FisforFast on this one. I can appreciate that most of you bought the car with aggressive driving in mind. Yes, the F is built to withstand more intensive driving than the average street car, but at the end of the day it's still a street car. And like any other car, if you beat the crap out of it, it will shorten the life of the vehicle, that's just the way it is.Originally Posted by FisforFast
I personally would not track the car if you plan on keeping it for a long time.

There's another option here. Spend more than average for maintenance.Originally Posted by blake0387

FWIW, there's already a 2010 IS-F at Insurance Auto Auction in Orlando. Silver. Depending on what it sells for, it might be a great parts car for those of us who do track our cars.
BTW, something to ponder - last trip to CMP I went wide on turn 3 and hit the gator. It's a pretty rough one. When I went to brake for 4, the pedal went down about half way before I got brakes. What this tells me is the axles on the front are not super stiff because they allowed the brake disc to kick the pads back in the caliper requiring a little extra travel to take up the slack before the brakes worked again. Keep this in mind if you go off track or have very rough gators at the track you're running, and tap your brakes before you really need them again to make sure they're working as expected.
A larger diameter axle would help, but this isn't a Porsche.
