OOOH!! Let me get this first cup of Joe poured, so I can settle in. I love car videos first thing in the morning! 😍☕️

Nice review! He mostly understood what the car is about and that’s all any of us can hope for. I loved the 1IS reference, but the high school in the 2000s comment garnered an ‘Oh Lawd!’ from me. 😂

 

The first time I ever saw a 1IS, I was in high school as well. One of my classmates had one (spoiled kid for sure!), I thought the taillights looked cool, as well as the whole car. I didn't even really care about cars back then, so I just thought it was a cool car and left it at that. Took me years to realize later that it was a Lexus.

That was a nice review, though I didn't make it all the way through. I definitely agree with him on the steering, to a degree. Having just driven my wife's 330i yesterday, I was reminded why I like the steering in these cars. The IS just has a little more feel. Now, I think the best EPAS systems I've ever driven are not in Lexus cars... I'd have to give it to a three-way tie between the Porsche 981 Boxster S, 991 Carrera 4, and Macan Turbo that I have driven. Porsche just knows how to do steering. But, the Lexus's steering has such a goldilocks weighting to it, whereas the P-cars err more on the heavy side. I like the way the steering in our cars actually has a little feedback, but stays muted most of the time - making it very relaxing to drive around.

I found this today. He has a few videos of burnouts etc. anyone on here? 👀

also 416hp to the wheels with just a catback is legit. I would like to see the dyno graph. That would put him at over 500 crank hp depending on how much drivetrain loss you give him.

 

 

 

I would take a ttv6 or hybrid ttv6 in the new ISF especially if it makes 600+

 

 

So is that a tuner build or something Lexus plans on doing? I'd sell my car quick for 600hp lol

 

It's just a SEMA build. It does beg the question as to whether Lexus would ever find a way to fit the twin-turbo 3.4-liter in the IS. I doubt it, to be honest.

 

LOL - how did you get a link to my video so quick!!? I just posted it! 🤣🤣

 

That looks like a lot of fun, but I'm too much of a chicken to do that to my own car.

 

^^ I agree, attempting the same would leave more skidmarks in my shorts than on the asphalt lol

 

Not me. I’d love to ride in it once, but I’m not interested in owning a turbo’ed anything. The styling is too boy racer for my personal tastes.

LOL! Right! I’ll live vicariously through everyone else! 😂
