SubLGTaru Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 No Kidding, the IS-F should walk a base stage 2 legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is going to walk on any VF40 Legacy regardless of mods...... I am wondering if you might be confused with the IS350 which is very similiar to a Stage II LGT in terms of hp.

JSaladino Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Yes, I've driven one. The owner of the dealership (Jimmy Bryan Lexus) in Winter Park is a friend of my grandfather's. No, I'm not confusing it with the IS350, as I've driven one of those as well. You don't have to believe me, but I refuse to sit here and have an Internet pissing match about whether or not I've actually driven the cars I've driven, and there have been more exotic ones than the IS-F.

Kind of a defensive straw man response... I think they're just challenging the opinion. Take it as a compliment and if it's a lie... let it rest.

hutru01 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 There is no way a Stage II LGT would keep up with a IS-F. Not a chance in hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it as a compliment and if it's a lie... let it rest. You're right, it was a bit defensive. I've just seen the way things go on here when someone says something 'hard to believe.' It's not like I said I drove an LP640, or an MC12 or something. I've never raced an IS-F in my LGT, so I wouldn't know if I could keep up or not. Perhaps one of the reasons I think it felt about the same is because the curb weight (as stated on the Lexus IS-F site) is 3,780 lbs, and there were 4 180-220 lb people in the car. With the previously mentioned 313 lb/ft of WTQ, it could feel a little sluggish, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 You miss the point. It's not that someone doubted that you could have driven an ISF, it's that you drove one and thought that it was slower than a stage 2 legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had four guys in my car at a meet a couple months ago and we drove around, I thought I was at Stage II again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
