I then had to explain the differences between the F and 250/350 (fenders, bigger engine, etc). Then in Manhattan a guy in a bicycle stopped next to me and asked "Why not M3, it comes in coupe and sedan"....I said Lexus is #1 for reliability, this is why (revved engine)....then he says "ok no more questions". I told him I respect everyone's choice in cars and we went on our own way. Another guy in a SRT8 Jeep 2013 chatted with me at the stoplight as well, he had the 600hp Hennessey version. The girl I picked up was like "I love the attention this car gets!"....this was all in ONE DAY.

In all honesty, I don't think M3 / C63 / S4 and even certain exotics would get this much attention......we are all blessed to have this car.
so this is why ur late all the time...smh!

I do the slow cruise in the right lane as well and the f gets soooooo many looks

Yeah, I imagine most would see the ISF as a tastefully-modded ISx50

Lots of attentions from Evo and Subaru. I was cleaning my car at the car wash and a teenager pointed at my car as he was telling his dad "dad, that car is really fast. You should've bought that one". I didn't say anything and pretended that I wasn't paying attention. Next thing I know, his dad was driving a brand new Merc GL. S4 wanted to race me. Is350 starred at the car.
