The other car was a USB, so this crash is unrelated to the other Mullholand video.

Damn, sorry to see this. It looks like the car took a pretty heavy hit.

hope everyone involved was ok. Always sucks to see this happen, especially to an IS-F. Means only two things....higher insurance for the rest of us, and even less in existence. I guess everyones car just became a little more rare.

Where is this stretch of road,. Im planning a US trip and def wanna check this out , Ive seen its pretty busy for the biker mob also .

On a side note, would there be many wrecked ISFs around, mainly want a 2010 for the LSD diff.?

That sure is a painful site.
Will the LSD and 08 style traction control work well with each other?

yup, they left the electronic LSD on the 10+ F's...so you have a brake based LSD as well as a Mechanical one.
