I would love to drive this IS-F down the 1/8 or 1/4 to see its TRUE potential..

Dang I really need to work on my R/T...and maybe I shouldn't use manual mode when I go drag racing...maybe leave it on D with sport mode on?

Look at the info again. Do you really think the car moved 60' in less than 1/2 sec?

Oh ok, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the clarification.

Leave it on D, sports mode, and you'll be in the 12s...

I was just messing with you guys... trying to motivate you to go to a 1/4 mile track. When I did those runs it was like 43 degrees outside so I'm sure that helped.

Any of you Chicagoland IS-F owners want to go to the track with me to see how much faster the IS-F really is?
