i think this was basically the setup i drove at the lexus event in homestead FL, and it was more fun to drive than the IS-F! the IS-F is hot V8 fast, but the IS350C with f-sport goodies feels much more balanced (it is) and yes, fun to drive.
i will say i didn't care for the f-sport exhaust sound though. sounded more like a tricked out civic at WOT.![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

A few of us have reported the same thing. I feel the same way. The IS F-sport does feel more nimble and I would prefer it on short auto crosses. On a longer, larger course the power of the IS-F would be more useful and have a huge advantage.
I am a very big fan of the IS F-sport.

Alot of it has to do with chassis balance. The ISF has a nearly 50/50 weight ratio, but it is a heavy car. I actually got the best times in a stock IS350 during the Lexus Performance Driving Academy we all went to a few years back.

These are the same wheels that debuted last year at SEMA 2009 on this car:

Here are a few more shots of the wheel up close on the F-Sport SEMA 2009 project car. Note the body kit on this car is a one off prototype. There are no plans for it to be manufactured.
