Hey guys just joined the ISF club about a month ago when my 360K mile LS400 blew up the diff and i was ready for a new 4 door. I always wanted a ISF since I was an engineer at Toyota and they first came out. I've been lurking on the ISF forums but haven't introduced myself. It's a silver 2008 , no MLSD (sad face) with 58K. I live in Atlanta and the dealer drove it down so I could look at it and test drive.It looked great and I started it up to a beastly growl, to my surprise it had a Joe-z exhaust and I was pretty much sold but I still drove it and it sounded like a gorilla was under the hood. The smile on my face wouldn't go away, this thing is fun.
Now a month later and I love driving this thing everyday it sounds sweet, the power is great and opposite of what the car mags say I love the way it looks. Also the 4 doors will be nice when the wife and I have a baby. One of my favorite things about the car is the rarity ( I saw a black ISF once when I moved to ATL), I was looking at a 335, M56 or E90 M3 and I see them often, especially the 335, it's like a camry in Atlanta.
Did I mention it sounds so sweet. I still have the LS400, I also have a 04 G35 coupe (mildly track prepped) and a 1995 240sx (full cage enduro race car). I have been to many tracks between my 240sx, G35 and a 1st gen MR2 I raced with Toyota. Recently I raced at Barber and CMP. Maybe I will get the F out this year. Seems like everyone here is knowledgeable and knows their F's , glad to be a part of the group!
I think Lobuxracer lives in or around Atlanta and has been to CMP, anyone else in the area?
Enjoy the car....first thing I would do to it is look at real LSD for it.
Also, the IS-F will do transporting babies in a pinch, but you don't want it to be your everyday car for transporting a back facing car seat...it will be tight and even tighter for the person in the passenger seat.
Congrats and welcome to the club!
I live in Atlanta as well and you're so right about the rarity of the F. I haven't seen one on the streets in months.
Enjoy it!
