Lou is from the time prior to parents blaming problem children on "ADD" and not bad parenting.

just felt like adding to the madness! 77' nova 305 v8 > 87' firebird > 92 chevy z24 > 94 es300 > 08 isf
also 50% owner ship 99 civc > 03 solora

I have an IS350 + S2000, and was just wondering what the ownership experience is like of the IS-F. I know several people have had the same cars... was it worth the upgrade? I don't know when the GS-F will be released, otherwise I'll just go with a 2013/14 GS450h or buy an used IS-F.

I came from some crazy modded Evo 8's and then a 2011 WRX. The jump to ISF is leagues above those cars. You just know you're driving something several tiers higher once you sit in it.

Even from an IS350 the power diff is crazy, but from an S2K or Evo/Subie the interior quality is astronomically better.

If you have multiple cars then the ISF is less appealing. But as a DD and primary car, I can't think of anything better overall. So if you're keeping the S2K or IS350 I don't see the need for the ISF in your stable. But replacing both with an ISF should def be something to consider.

Don't you know the progression of ISF owners.

S2000 -> Evo -> ISF -> GTR

Sometimes the Evo can be skipped or the S2000 is a 350Z but this applies to 99% of the ISF owners in this forum.

holy **** lol I'm from a S2000 as well

and I agree, I can live with the 08 because the S was more brutal and lexus is like a dream
