FWIW, I thought that IS-F stock sounded *VERY* similar to our 05 GT vert with Corsa exhaust

Agree, but I wouldn't spend the extra coin for the GT500 KR. I am not sure about the GT500 owners results though, because I have raced a stock GT500 from a top end roll on the fwy and he never pulled on me, I pulled on him around 120 mph although slight......for what it's worth! Good find OP

Really? I had a '07 GT/CS with the Corsa axle back exhaust prior to my F and the Mustang seemed much throatier to me. It was also considerably loader to my ears. Of course everything about the Mustang was louder.

Interesting. When I did the Taste of Lexus driving school, I thought that the F at WOT sounded much like our mustang with corsa's.

Maybe the F's were specially "broken in", or maybe because it's a convertible?????

IDK.....All I know is that I liked the sound of the F. The V8 growl in a Lexus....it was just awesome. All I wanted to do was floor the car.

Although exhaust choice makes a big difference, the SN95 mustang engines typcially sound much different than the S197 engines.....and obviously off road pipes would just further accentuate the tone. Also, my 4.6L F150 sounds much different than my 4.6L mustang

you should post the videos of the Artisan TT IS F....i think those will give Z06s a good run. I ran a newer vette the other day, he had the jump on me, and i was still pulling on him.... =) however, i will not try and run a Z06....no point...lol

My buddy had his Z-06 here in ATL from Dallas in December along with a Viper ACR. I wouldn't even begin to try to run with them. Total waste of gas for both of us.
