Keep on the lookout for SEMA this year...you'll be shocked. Lexus is definitely taking the pursuit of the performance market seriously.

Modified IS-F cars will be at SEMA ?

I hope that some of the parts will be offered by Lexus dealers and that some will be official parts, instead of all being aftermarket or 3rd party.

Standard IS backlighting will be there. The Blue needles will be the obvious difference.

Nope...we ran into a few hiccups this past week with the vids. I was actually in NorCal this weekend...part of the trip was to deliver the original vids on dvd to my friend. I'm under the mercy of his schedule right now. Trust me it's worth the wait.

It's about 2 mins each lap on the video. Still working out the bugs sorry. We should have just used regular Hi-8 format for the web stuff. Everything was recorded on a Sony HD camera. Unfortunately my computer is not capable of editing or even running the video since the files are so large. If it was up to me i'd have this all up already but please bear with us as we're trying our best to get this out. There is plenty of exclusive footage that no one has ever seen yet. It will be a surprise for many.

It sucks that the ISF beats the 350 by only 3 car lengths in the drag race . . . I was waiting to watch that i the video but then I read about it and was like ughhhhhh
