We all relate. It may be helpful to actually explain the difference though. Trans / engine / suspension / purpose.

I think most people don’t even know that Lexus makes purpose built fast cars (similar to M series, AMG. Etc.)

Thats a little more subtle but a trained eye will notice.

Because they’re not particularly fast.

Agreed, while a fun car and sleeper quickness to someone not aware. To me, the idea of the ISF is to be mistaken for a regular IS, with subtle trim (hence sleeper). If you want to be noticed... get a car that screams for more attention.

Im curious what your definition of "fast" is. A 12 second 1/4 mile 3800lb sedan sounds pretty decently fast to me lol. Most evos/sti's need a good bit of modification to safely make what a FBO ISF can do reliably. Just my opinion

8lb:hp or less. Maybe there’s FBO IS-F running around 480 crank?

FBO ISF's are putting down about 420-430whp w/RR Racing's tune/intake.

This was supposed to be a comical video that ISF owners could relate to. Why does everything always have to be so serious on the interwebz?

Well thats exactly my point, "fast" is subjective.

I get the humor of your post. The irony is that non-f owners seem to be the ones that get the most offended by these types of things. If you're a part of the IS Freaks page on FB, you'll see an example of that almost daily lol.
