I have had my 2010 ISF for almost a year and its a solid car, Fun to drive and the styling looks amazing. Have been tempted to update the front bumper to the new gen style. That look is kinda growing on me. And I can keep my stock bumper and swap back and forth when I want lol.

It’s a bummer that you guys are not able to review the IS500. I think you’d really like the whole package. It’s not as planted on the track as the ISF, because it’s not meant to be a track weapon. However…on the streets the IS500 is beyond amazing. We have the same 8speed transmission as the RCF, so it can be slow to downshift. If you get a Pedal Commander or do like me and drive 100% of the time in Manual & Sport S+, the lag is a non-issue. 😜 All the V8 goodness with the smooth ride of a GT car. Thanks for posting!

@@ratedm90 I’m sure not the PDK but it’s damn close if you know how she likes to drive. I’ve learned how to shift the transmission really well since I’ve owned it, a lot of car reviewers say they hate the transmission but mostly because they don’t know how to use it properly honestly. It’s no dual clutch in terms of speed but for 2008 I’m pretty sure it was one of the fastest, if not the fastest in its class. Also, it’s kind of aggressive and clunky in the best way. It shifts hard sort of why people like the Aventador now because it’s clunky lol

@musoui I just got hugely lucky when I bought mine. The 2010 has that LSD though... That's my next mod. It's pretty much my last mod, too. I've got FBO and a few other goodies but that LSD is definitely something I'm going to get.
@greebuh 6 ай бұрын
@musoui So I bought the ppe headers for 1800 when on sale and got the tune with it for 500 as a package deal. Got the HPS elbow for half off from another guy that was staying stock and sold his new studd he never put in.... Then the Joe Z catback was already on the car when I bought it so I got super lucky there. And when you do damn near all the work yourself you avoid that labor cost. I have less than 22k in my car including all the parts and little stuff here and there too.

Hey there - I just got one off BringATrailer (2nd to last one sold). Can I ask what exhaust you went with? Seems to be less options nowadays vs the glory years of 2009 :). I don't need a tune or headers (I hear headers make it real loud), just a bit louder than stock would be nice.
@rich_isf9043 4 ай бұрын
@VersanGetryx hey. I'm in the UK so we have Hayward and Scott that still build OEM looking systems (based on OEM tips). The PPE headers go straight into that system with no issues. It's loud on cold start, but my plan this year is to have the exhaust system valved. Now the headers are installed, I can work forward from there.

@rich_isf9043 4 ай бұрын
@ItzJ99 it doesn't have an x pipe. So both banks are seperate all the way to the tips. It does and doesn't drone. With the sound deadening in the Lexus, it's never really that bad. It's all down to what you prefer I guess. I drove 8 hours to Scotland last year with a mate, and we talked and chilled all the way up without it being annoying or even really noticing it.
