It doesn't feel much different because it isn't.
2008 Lexus IS-F 0-60 mph 4.2 | Quarter mile 12.6
2007 Lexus IS 350 0-60 mph 4.8 | Quarter mile 13.3

Now once you get above ~100mph the IS-F is significantly faster, but hopefully you aren't doing that often on public roads. IMO, the IS-F isn't worth the additional price over the IS350 as a daily driver, especially considering the gas mileage hit you take. But the ISF would make a better track car and it might depreciate less. Also if you are looking to add intake/headers/exhaust the IS-F will make a much greater amount of additional horsepower compared to the same mods on an IS350.

You'll get the opposite answer if you ask this in the ISF forum. Drive both. Decide for yourself.
Here is an ISF welding the doors shut on an is350

I can pretty easily answer this question because my mom owns an ISF and I own an IS350 awd. Both are fast, but as long as you can keep the back tires sticking, the isf will leave the 350 in the dust. You need to determine what you are looking for. I choose the is350 because I needed to drive it in the winter with snow, while you can drive the ISF in the snow, but it is not fun (despite the snow button). Interior wise they are fairly similar, but she has a 2008 and I have a 2013, and boy does technology change a lot in those 5 years.
Happy shopping.
