So far I have gotten a lot of attention in the car. Especially after adding the Joe Z exhaust. I think people love the way the car looks and now how it sounds. I remember I used to stare when I would see an IS-F. Even here in Vegas they aren't that common. I barely ever see another one on the road.

I rarely get any attention from my F. but there's this one time, about 2 weeks ago, I got scared by this mid-age couple driving in a 2nd gen ES, we were on freeway, I was driving literally 60mph, and they were passing me through my left lane, then I saw them turning their heads to my car as they were passing me, scary part is they get to the point where they couldn't turn their heads anymore as sitting straight, which was like 150 degree angle. I was like WOW!, wth!! and I slowed down a bit, just in case, they start falling into other lanes. Most crazy couple I've seen or car ethusiasts I should say~ lol

I caught someone in traffic taking a picture of my car again today. That makes 4 or 5 times since I picked it up 1.5 years ago.

I just drove from Colorado to Michigan. I saw one 350 (passed me without even looking) and a couple of 250s. I didn't see any other IS-Fs (and no M3s either). Saw one 450h and a boatload of RX3whatevers.

Are you sure it is not a matter of you not paying attention? I get a ton of on lookers on a regular basis.

My car is almost always getting looks, even though it looks stock. I think it's because I'm a freak about keeping my car clean, and a clean ISF is a thing of beauty.

i cant believe i have had my IS-F for 5 months to this day.....and i gotta say, almost every post here is dead on. Even before i got my wheels or anything, just plain STOCK....i catch people taking pictures all the time. They break their necks taking double takes. Not that its a Ferrari or anything that special, but they are rare on the street. I have only seen 2 in the last year out on the road myself.

anyway, even after 5 months, i still have not gotten over this thing....all i want to do is drive it. All i can think about is where i can go next just to feel it purrr...and the sport button is just dumb. (in a good way hahah)...i dont know about you guys but i rarely drive without it.

best car ever, i love the ***** out of it!

OK, on the way back a guy in an Eclipse was running up and back in the left lane taking pictures with his phone.
