A "Benchmark" for the future IS F
#17
It was definitely a nice read. Yaguchi-san definitely knows what he's doing. The improvements year after year and utilizing the CCS-R while keeping the motor stock says a great deal about the direction the IS F is headed. I know the MY13 probably won't get a 600 pound shed, but any little bit will go a long way to be even more competitive in its class.

That engine has a whole lot more in it, than 420hp.

It all makes perfect sense.......until you watch these videos and then all of a sudden the reverse makes sense lol

F1 car weighs 600Kg and generates 1000Kg of down-force giving total of 1600Kg load on tyres
Without the down-force you actually need a heavier car to get to these values (Although at 1715Kg + passengers you could still nicely drop quite a bit from the IS F
Maybe aiming for 1500-1550Kg curb weight would be a perfect target for the next IS F? (Oh and an extra 50 BHP )
