Default Raced my first IS-F

I was on a freeway around Houston, yesterday, and had my first actual live sighting of an IS-F. It looked pretty hot - a silvery color, like my 350. But, it didn't look that fast, so I was in the left lane, and he was in the center lane. We got it on!!! We raced for a few miles. First, he pulled away a little, but I caught up quickly, and held my own. Then, I pulled away a bit, but he caught me. Toward the end of the race, though, I left him in the dust, because my lane allowed me to get into third gear for a few seconds!!! D*** Houston traffic.

sorry to say but the IS350 is not faster than the IS-F period.

GAY! You could never beat a ISF unless your fully mod! Your saying a 350 can beat an M3? A Honda Civic tried to race me on the freeway and I just ignored it, waste of time. I have an ISF and no 350 is going to beat me, plus it looks faster than a 350!

You won't pull on an IS-F if he tried. But you must have gotten a rush from that race.
