Quick question though for reference, can't you order the F without the sunroof?
Simple as that!

Why do you think I decided to take a beating on trading in my 350 for the F? The days of big horsepower V-8s from the factories are numbered.
So realistically, we'll be lucky if they have a 2010 model. But if I were doing one, I'd ask for
540 hp (gotta keep up with Caddy)
500 lb weight reduction (3300 lbs would be OK)
285/35/19 Front and 335/30/19 Rear (car could really use more rubber on the ground!)
Adjustable suspension by Penske or Moton.
6 inch height reduction
rear seat delete option in a Coupe offering

If one person can reach 4.2 and another driver 4.7 then guess how fast an IS-F can get to sixty? 4.2 seconds, because that's what the car is capable of.
Oh and Cayman blasted off a 12.3 at 115 mph in his IS-F so guess how fast an IS-F can run the 1/4 mile in......................you guessed it

If they would put 0-60 in 4.2 seconds.. yet i only get 0-60 in 4.5 everytime.. that is false advertising

8speed: I can say i can get it in 3.0s flat, but that doesn't mean much without proof.

I would imagine they put the best times they can get for 0-60 considering it's an important marketing element to selling a sports sedan. But I'll believe 4.2s if someone is willing to video tape it. 4.2 vs 4.6 is a decent sized difference there.
