. By the looks of the vid, the IS-f seems to handle in the same manner as the C63 AMG. Can't wait to see that Jeremy "apple test" with IS-F, C63, M3, CTS-V, RS4

There can only be One
Now someone correct me if I am wrong but, was the IS-F born from when Rod Millen basically did the exact same thing Lexus did with the IS-F?
Rod Millen I remember a few years ago, dropped a V8 engine in an IS threw a Supra transmission in it, extended the front end a few inches to make the engine fit, and pumped out like 500 HP in that little beast.
Is this where the IS-F was born from?

Lexus displayed an IS300 fitted with a 4.3-liter V-8 from its GS430. The IS430, which Lexus dubs a one-off with no plans for production, was built by Rod Millen's shop, and also includes a Getrag 6-speed manual transmission, Brembo brakes, TEIN springs and electrically adjustable dampers, Speed Star SSR 18-inch wheels, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires. Rhys Millen Racing body components adorn the exterior, which gets a Chip Foose paint job.http://www.automobilemag.com/feature...430/index.html
