Lexus Performance Driving Academy
I was invited by Lexus to test out some of Lexus's cars today at Fontana Speedway and brought along Nate (BlownAP).
We got a chance to drive an IS250 6 speed Manual, IS350 Stock, IS350 w/ Performance Package, GS460 stock, GS450h Stock AND THE IS-F on the inner track.
I cannot tell you how much fun we had dricing all of those cars ESPECIALLY the
IS-F. We also got a chance to ride along with a Pro Driver in the IS-F.
I thought I like the IS-F before, now I LOVE IT~! the car is amazing, handling is fantastic, rev matches perfect, shift responce is excelent, brakes are awesome, exhaust not sounds real good. You cannot ask for more in a car for the money.

That looks like it was fun. How do you like the ISF?
The IS-F was everything I expected it to be and some. We didn't get to push them ourselves, but on the ridealong the Pro drivers pushed them to their limits and the F responded very well. I was amazed that the car was bone stock and performed the way that it did. I would definately recommend that car to anyone in the market for a performance sedan.

I have more pics and will post soon, I had a freakin BLAST, Thank you so much Aaron for letting me tag along.
the IS-f is an Awesome machine, I have had seat time in a C6 z06 and other high performance cars and this IS-F did NOT disappoint, the brakes on the car were godly. LOL
Aaron and I both came withing 1.5-2 seconds of the pro-drivers around the auto-cross course, I thought that was pretty badass considering we both were in cars that we were not familiar with
