sweet ride...would love to see the engine compartment and how the routed all the plumbing for the TT....
ps....notice how some guys are still bagging on the IS-F supposedly "detached" exhaust tips? Someone should post there the pictures of the production model!

i love how people on some forums talk cars like politics, no matter what you do,say, ect people ill always disagree and fight about it, most people should be happy to drive a car of such quality, if those bmw and merc guys think lexus and everything else is so bad, put em in a yugo .....god haah

What is 600 HP good for, except to brag about numbers for an ego trip? IMO, It is gross overkill for any street machine, including Mercedes AMGs. I reviewed a 414 HP IS-F back last spring, and it is PLENTY of power for any sane use on the street.
I DO like that butterscotch-yellow paint job, however (reminds me of Volvo's old Saffron yellow). Lexus should offer it as a stock factory color....and not just on the IS.

with so any of you guys having the IS-F already, i havent been able to locate whether or not the stacked exhausts are connected or not. online, there seems to be a lot of ambiguity and confusion. some say they are, others say not. 
so can we get some verification from an owner?
(sorry if this was already mentioned, burried dee in the other threads)

thanks for the correction on the detached exhaust...now i'm very confused! 
So have actual owners confirmed this, instead of relying on demo units?
on another note, the pics of the exhaust looks very heavy....wonder if they made Ti versions already (single muffler design)....now that would really rile up the "purists"!

Yeah the oem exhaust is pretty heavy.
