My thoughts too. It was more chest thumping than actual hot laps.

Yes this is an official video. The camera crew was present throughout our whole "Performance Drive" preview of the IS-F in Monterey a few weeks ago. They are in some of my own video footage and pictures that I have taken that weekend. Yes my videos will be coming out soon.

Did anyone see the IS-F drift video on there looks like it was at TOL. So i guess a pro driver will take an IS-F out and show it drifting to a crowd.

Tell your friend to go swivel. Absolutely the WORST automotive site on the internet.

Yea, i agree with lobux. I want to see more poised and controlled racing. All this drifting looks cool, but it doesnt show anything about its handling.

If the is-f is able to drift like that, it must have some sort of LSD other than the rear brakes. traction control was obviously turned OFF in these videos! lobux can u answer this?

actually, it's not that bad. They found this video and are typically correct when forecasting what future cars will have.

Not a bad video, nice to see something "professional" of the IS-F.

I agree. If this in fact an official video, it doesn't show us anything new really. We already know the IS-F can do burnouts and we know it's exhaust note. We know you can turn off VDIM too. Heck, you can turn off VDIM and do burnouts in an IS350.

Lexus needs to have much more than this if they want to attract enthusiasts. How about some "official" videos of the hyped-about IS350 vs IS-F drag race, or how about some videos of 0 - 60 and 1/4 mile times? Let's see a video of the IS-F attacking a track at full speed. The teasing is getting a bit annoying now, since the Tokyo Auto Show is right around the corner. A bit of new info would be nice.
