Default IS-F makes my neck hurt sometimes

Lately my neck has been feeling a bit tense lately. I think it's because my head is constantly trying to stay level when I accelerate in the IS-F. I didn't realize this until my fiance pointed out to me that I'm using a lot of neck muscle when I step on it. This car is just simply amazing Any of you notice this too?

try keep your head up against your headrest, that should help / eliminate anymore soreness.

Normally I drive with my head away from the head rest. I just think it's impressive that the car actually strains my neck of I drive too long and push it hard.

Unfortunately, I haven't suffered the neck problem. However, I need to replace my driver's side headrest as the front side is well worn at four months.

I just know when I drive I don't put my head back on the head rest because I have noticed when I hit a bump, the back of my head smack the head rest pretty hard...haha

Default i was impressed

I had my 03 GS 430 in for oil change and drove and F today. Just a couple of chances to stomp on it. I was impressed. Thought I might make the 430 last until, but this is on my list. Waiting for some winter trades or salesman demos to hit. Just pretty damn fun. Just the right amount of "sound" and it will set you back in the seat. A little rougher ride than the GS, but oh well.
