As of right now the WRX. I got full coilovers along with 265 all around. But the ISF straight line power is no joke. 5.0L V8 vs 2.0L I4 turbo. Literally the ISF have twice the size of engine as my wrx,

Hey guys,

New member. I picked up my 08 SGM in October of last year. The car has almost 170k and is in excellent condition. Mods so far are 2012 Headlights and Bayson R front lip before I put it in storage for the winter. Happy to be an ISF owner and be on this forum.

Default 2009 isf

Hi everyone.
Long time member but mainly in the SC forums. After deciding to get a sedan to fit a car seat, I was looking for GS350/430 or IS350. Luck would have it, I was able to find a 1-owner, maintained at the Lexus Dealer, clean carfax, and lady driven 2009 ISF. The mileage is a little high at 156k but I feel I for a fair price and this won't be my daily. Only had it one day but I'm pretty happy with the purchase so far. Haven't seen many starfire pearls in the area so I kinda like that.

Black is a classy color. I like it. It also looks menacing. =)

Ended up picking up a new daily 08' with 64k miles. I am in love with this car, what a blast it is. I traded in my 16' Limited Tucson as it was having a number of issues with the new DCT and after multiple recalls and "fixes" it still just didn't feel right. Loved the car otherwise. It was a hard decision to give up a warranty and much lower mileage but you can't duplicate the enjoyment of the car.
My wife was afraid to drive it so that helped me persuade her I was better off just getting into something else, and something I enjoyed more. She was somewhat gunshy as the last time I wanted a Sports sedan, I bought a 2010 ctsv and modded the hell out of it, then immediately sold it as it just wast not "me". She gave the thumbs up and I started looking. Worked out since the local Toyota dealer had one come in on a trade-in at another one of their Porsche dealers and it was meticulously maintained and services. The car is immaculate and really only need to do brakes on the rears at this point.

Looking forward to being back on the forum, previously in my former life I had a white 1000hp 2jz swapped SC300 This car will not get that treatment lol, I have a 66 Mustang I've swapped a coyote motor into with a tko600 to enjoy as the drag/weekend car.

Hello all Kelly from Florida here. I have been dreaming of an ISF since I first saw one in 2008, but it wasn't in the cards. My wife and kids always took priority, as they should. This time the wife let me spoil myself a little since she has an new SUV (not the one in the picture).

1. White
2. NAV/ML
3. Black
4. Factory
5. No PC
7. Sunroof
