I've had my car up to just over 150 mph and what's most impressive is just how hard it was still pulling!! I can agree with all of the article's comments. From 100 mph. peddle to the metal the forward thrust almost took me by surprise WOW , 120 goes by quick and the uber-hyper pace just seemed like it would never end. The F remained poised, rock solid and still asking for more. SO COOL!!!

The G-Power M6 is a $300k tuner special, not even comparable, and definitely not a good way to spend $300k !

They also put the GT-R on a dyno in the same issue. Very interesting results!

100 to 150 in the F is very good. Now if it had a tad few gears and at the right ratios, I think this car would be much quicker in the upper end.

Yup, they sure did it. Every month they pretty much have nothing but praise for their long term IS-F

Speed limit around here tops out around 65, so, being a good boy, that's the fastest I've gone in reverse. Who needs to shift into forward gears when you get to the end of the driveway backing out when reverse gets the job done
