Default Lexus Gear Shift Game!!!

i went on the Lexus site checkin out the new IS and the IS F. I had the intentions of really looking into the features.. but.. i totally got hooked on the gear shifting game they have there. So fun and I'm not sure if I'm really good at it or if it's just really easy to get high score.
Check it out and maybe let me know.. oh yeah and if anyone wants to give me their opinion on which model I should look into that would be cool to.

Aha the game is quite lame. They dont let you shift when you want. You know whats a good game? Check out the E92 M3, they have a real game.

What's in IS-F and C63amg are slushboxes, not the real gearboxes like M3 or RS4. What is there to "practice/play" besides put in D and move on???

I have no idea on what you are talking about... the driving simulator for the IS-F and M3 or the shifting game for the IS...

Actually the IS-F is not a full slushbox. You are on a Lexus site and should know this.

While the transmission uses a conventional torque converter in first gear, in manual mode the lock-up clutch remains engaged from second through eighth, directly connecting the engine's output to the rear wheels (lift off the gas, and the engine compression is immediate, as with a conventional manual transmission). Adding to the "manual" feel is ultra-fast shifting; Lexus claims the tranny can change gears in just 100 milliseconds--as quick as the Ferrari F430's F1 box. - MT

You need to play around with the settings a little bit But yeah, the game runs fine on my 4 year old Dell, if only I could play it with my Macbook Pro.
