Default Time to say Goodbye

It's only been a brief year and half here for me, but another member goes the way of the mighty GT-R.

I absolutely love my IS-F and I’ll hold on to it for a few more weeks, but the GT-R is paid for and on the way here next week from out of state.

I will really miss the lightning quick shifts and blip downshifts. I will long for the intoxicating sound of the V8 with intake, headers and exhaust. It's reliability and maintenance were excellent and nonexistent. The car functioned properly while always maintaining the Lexus name of luxury. I'm proud to have been an owner of such a fantastic car.
If it doesn’t work out in the long run with the GT-R, I know I'll be back to a newer model F.
I should be getting another F soon in the family, as my girl wants one. I’ve stripped the F back to stock and I’ll hold on to the parts for a few month as my girl wants them on her future Obsidian F.
I will be selling the Nitrous system, however.

If it wasn’t for the GTR, to me the F is the best all around car for the money.

I made a goodbye video for everyone to enjoy the sweet sound of the IS-F, Injen, PPE, Joe Z before being muted back to stock.


Enjoy and thank you!

Sad to see another F go, but best of luck with the GTR! The fact that your girl wants an F is pretty cool in my book. Two future black beasts in your garage would be stunning. Enjoy the TT of Godzilla!

Good luck man! GT-R is a different type of beast. I'm sure you'll be modding that soon too in the never ending quest for more power. Thanks for the drag racing tips too.

I did the same thing about 2 months ago. Once you drive the GTR the F will be a distant memory... Do yourself a favor...Join NAGTROC and your first mod without a doubt should be the cobb access port with TCM flashing. The new tranny programming makes the ride and launching sooooo much nicer.. Look me up on nagtroc I have the same user name. Ive gone through the learning curve tuning and modding the car and can give you some nice tips..

I'll be back for sure if my girlfriend gets into the low mileage Obsidian she's looking for.

All my parts on that car; 'cause she loves the sound. It will make her daily driver a 12.2 car w 400whp Not bad for a girl!!
