Default 3/22/08 - Lexus ISF 1/4 Mi **12.89**

After picking up the new '08 ISF a week ago (3/14/08), I decided it was time to put it to the test w/ just 600 miles on the odo. Since the TX2K8 Supra Nationals were in town, I headed over to Lonestar Motorsports Park on Saturday. My goal was to atleast obtain the fastest magazine 1/4 mi timeslip so far and the mission was accomplished. After a few passes by me, I handed the ride over to my tuner 'SRT Mo' who was able to knock out three consecutive 111 mph runs.. the fastest one being a 12.89 pass.

Here's the breakdown:

Reaction - 1.49
60 FT - 2.04
1000 ET - 10.85
1/4 ET - 12.89
1/4 MPH - 111.66

With these preliminary results, it's almost certain that someone will soon knock out a 12.6-12.7 timeslip w/ proper launch and optimal conditions. As for the video, don't worry it'll be posted soon.

Right where I expected it to be. I heard there was another IS-F that ran 13.1 at 109 against Peter Blach's 335i with extra boost at 13.2 and 106 mph. Was that you?

Yes I was the one that ran a 13.0 against Peter's modded 335i. I had left the car in automatic mode during those runs. Afterwards I gave the car over to 'Mo' and he found that the manual paddles were alot faster.. hence the 12.8 timeslip.

Very nice...

Besides taking out the Spare tire & tools....
Did you remove anything else?? and how much gas in the tank..??

This car has lots of potential..!!

Just like this mildly moded IS350 running 12.84's...

Wasn't there an IS350 that did 12.84 @ 109mph? All it had done was mods to the air intake and exhaust.
