A few industry people have been able to drive it for a day for their impressions. Jtuned is going to have a article on it.
dblock05, i konw it's comparing apples to oranges...but i'm not comparing them. I'm asking if the GT3 RS owner is on this board.

True. Apples and Oranges.
Although, I was at Laguna Seca this past April with Skip Barber racing school and had a chance to see the LS-F testing there on a private test day. GUESS WHAT they were using as a rabbit? Of coarse, there was a 997 GT3 that was lapping with the IS-F. I'm sure they were collecting data and trying to make that pig of a Lexus more of a 'sport' car.
It was a pretty cool site to say the least. It is cool that Lexus is getting in the gaim, but c'mon now, it's a Lexus... a'hem Toyota. The GT3 was walking all over that IS-F thing.

I had many times where I was just driving fast and for some dumb reason one or two "Fast and Furious" wannabe ricers just decided to start racing me. When I actually realize they are chasing after me I usually pull over to the right lane and slow down.
Last thing I need is more attention from cops.

It doesn't make sense to compare the two cars. The GT3 is not about straight-line acceleration and the sport sedans will alway be a threat to folks who worry about 0-60 numbers, etc. If in that camp, a Turbo would be a good choice. The IS-F will not be a match for the GT3 on a track or twisty road. It will put up a good fight 0-60 but will loose there too.

Comparing it to an Audi RS-4 or Mercedes C63 is more reasonable.

And how important is 0-60 speed?
Maybe I'm not understanding what you are saying, you keep comparing small four door sedans on steroids with a stripped out lightweight sports car. Just because they may do 0-60 doesn't make them remotely similar enough to compare. You first said that the two types of cars aren't for comparison, I agree with you, now you compare them? riight.
A ford turbo diesel truck can do 0-60 in less than 5 seconds, should that be compared to a gt3?

Not sure who that was too.....but, I really don't think you guys get the point. I am not comparing the two cars!!!!!!!!! I am ASKING if any GT3 RS owners raced a IS-F. I heard a test-IS-F raced a GT3 and i wana konw if the owner is here or not. So for the last time..............I AM NOT COMPARING AN IS-F TO A GT3 RS, SO STOP ANSWERING THE Q LIKE I AM.
WELL A L L KONW THE GT3 IS NO MATCH FOR THE IS-F....NOR CAN WE COMPARE THE TWO, AND IF WE DID THE GT3 WOULD OWN IT IN EVERYTHING!
