0.1 of a sec difference on the track is pretty good, specially with the "slow" driver in the IS-F ! As for the bouncing boobies test, I'm not sure if that was very conclusive !

It seemed pretty clear the girls were enjoying the ride more in the IS-F

Seriously, it appeared that although "the IS-F's steering is so much heavier, not the same feel" (roughly quoted), it sure was easy to bring back when "it breaks loose without any warning"... and I continue to have the look grow on me...

It would've been cool to see them try to do a serious lap instead of drifting all over the place! It was funny how the girls said that the back of the m3 is more comfortable even though they were flying all over the place.

learn how to take things with a sense of humor?

if they want to be super accurate, do you think they'd start/stop time INSIDE a car and have the car drift left and right?
