[BlueBoostedTibby]

Did anyone else see the blue ISF in town over the weekend? I have yet to see one and it definitely caught me by surprise. I didnt even think they were available yet... Tried to get a pic of it but I was turning. Tag read FAST IS

definitely was hot. would hit it.

I saw a black one a couple weekends ago... nice cars

They have been at the dealerships since Spring I think. A little pricey for a compact car from Japan, though.

car is nice, but definitely could do more for the money...

They are slow.

Pretty cool though.. there is a Blue one that works near me downtown B'ham.

They have been out for awhile, you see a few around here in ATL. I would rock one, wouldn't buy one but would drive the shiet out of it though:steering:

I like them but the exhaust has to go. There was one parked in my office parking lot and it was the deep blue color. Kinda sexy, oh and rob the test for rainer got pushed to next monday.

I am pretty sure high 12's is do-able in an E46 M3. Not sure what the new ones run.

How about a C6 Z?

How about a C6 Z?From Japan was the classification of my point. E46 M3's are low 13 second cars at best.

Ah I see what you're saying about Japan.

LOL for some reason I had Europe on my mind when talking about the ISF.. just because I group it with BMW's, etc. since it's a luxury car.

I'm mostly going by price though. And I know that low 13's is the norm.. but.. call me crazy.. I swear I heard of a few guys hitting 12's in stock M3's. =P But it might have just been that.. hearsay.

Regardless, when I said they are slow, "From Japan" wasn't my classification. Who says we should only compare Japanese to Japanese here. I go by price, luxury, and speed... assuming they are all relatively the same when it comes to reliability.

You drive a GTI, what do you know about speed and luxury?:dropit:

Well, let's go by price, luxury, & speed then.

Let's first overlook the IS-F's competition. Note that Inifiniti doesn't really have a true player in this game, unless you consider the new G37 adequate, I don't. Luxury is not an argument. All of these cars are luxurious & have superior quality parts being used. It all comes down to what country it originates from, & the style of powerplant. They all haul luxurious ass. The IS-F will fall right into class with the C-Class AMG, M-Class 3-series, & Audi RS4. The non AMG C-Class, BMW 335i Sedan, and Audi S4 would be direct competition of the IS350 just to show true comparison.

Lexus IS-F
Price-$56k
Speed-416-horse, 5.0-liter V-8/12.7 at 112.3 mph
Reliability-Toyota, nuff said.

BMW M3 Sedan
Price-$59k
Speed-414-horse, 4.0 liter V8/12.7 at 111.3 mph
Reliability-It's German. Has nice free maintenance program.

Mercedez-Benz C63 AMG
Price-$57k
Speed-450-horse, 6.2 liter V8/12.5 at 113.5 mph
Reliability-It's German.

Audi RS4
Price-$70k
Speed-414-horse, 4.2 liter V8/High 12's at 110-111mph
Reliability-It's def German.

So this means the IS-F is slow if you have a GT-R, C6 Z06, Lamborghini Gallardo, F430, Porsche 911, etc....... not a VW.

The IS-F is probably the best buy in the group if you are truly making the decision on the complete car and it's ownership.

Clearly my VW is faster.

Clearly my VW is faster.I'd rather have the IS-F :2xFU:
