No, brother in law drives his IS-F like a madman, the tires on that thing cost a pretty penny but he does donuts with them and peel outs.. He also has a Mercedes E55 AMG but I don't like it as much as the Lexus. The wood inside the Mercedes and the style of the car just doesnt do it for me. The Lexus has every detail figuered out, the mirrors slant down when you go backwards, the grooves in the back of the seats for passengers legs, the intake fan sucks out all the air in the car, so you can smoke doobies in it and the fan just blows everything out. haha
We were leaving a club one day and some cops in the parking lot stoped us and asked what the F on the IS stood for, my brother in law just said, "Fast." lol Too true.
The problem that I have with the IS-F is that it doesn't have a Limited Slip Diff, so when exiting or entering corners, you have One Wheel Drive, and you only smoke one wheel (Have you noticed that). At the limit, the M3 wins, because, it has the right diff (LSD) and suspension set up. The IS-F was a skunk-works car that didn't get full support from Lexus, but if it did, one can only wonder....
And the "F" in IS F stands for the Fuji test track, that it was primarily developed on, or so they say...
