The benz was a heavily modded Brabus as well. What's your point? The fact that the IS-F was even mentioned in this class is a step up for Lexus. Take what you can get and quit complaining! And I loved the end when they only showed the C63 AMG when they were doing a plug for Mothers wax No M3 sighting makes me a happy camper

Well the show is called "Super Cars Exposed".. not lets test ALL daily drivers...
As this wasn't the case..
I watched it.. I guess it was just OK...
The Brabus in Germany was nice... The C63 Mercedes in Miami was nice..
The orange Lambo was nice (getting pulled over in 2nd gear)..LoL
Of course they spent a good amount of time diriving around an OEM trim BMW M5 and the new CTS-V..
Any opinion Taner had on the F was well, lack luster..
He drove a Track Ready, Highly modified, Built for SEMA IS-F.

Don't get me wrong I love car shows, especially car shows featureing super cars, but I thought the show was pretty gay. 10 shots of the V driving from the front, a stroll through the winery, what's his face fondling a puppet in the front seat and countless minutes of useless blather. That show needs to be less about the host and more about the featured cars. I wanted to see that chucklehead slam it after putting the boxes of wine in the trunk of the V to test the effects of Newton's law on the bottles. And 60 seconds of the F, I mean come on! The Merc was certainly nice, the 430 drifting the mountain pass was even better and I agree the lambo footage was not to bad - and what a great life that 30 something owner of Prestige Motors must have.

I agree with almost everyone here, the show wasn't even OK. They spent too much time with the Brabus MB, M5, and CTS-V. The IS-F wasn't stock, not even close! Besides it was featured for less than a minute, and the comments were about improving his driving technique rather than IS-F pros and cons. The Miami part was great, but that's nothing new to me, I see it everyday.

Did all this:
* Tom's upper performance rod
* Tom's front and rear suspension member braces
* Tom's rear body strengthening brace
Make much of a difference and is it for sale on Tom's Website? Cause I dont think I saw it...

The show was a little disappointing to me. What happened to him doing endless drifts in every car he drives. The show is taking a turn for the worse. I usually catch it now and then. Seems like they are trying to put a comic twist on the show. That is cool if the material is funny. That is my 2 cents...

Just watched it via dvr, segment on the ISF didn't show any of the car's attributes...the Host just played it off as a alternative performance car that cost 1/6 of the MB and can be modified...not very exciting.
