IS-F
Hey Everyone
My friend just got a used IS-F. It is definitely an awesome car because I took a ride in it. He seriously/jokingly asked if I wanted to race. I dont really want to because I know I would get destroyed but I am curious how I would do in the first few seconds.
I have an 03GT with some minor mods, including intake, TB/Plenum, catback, catted mid, 4.10's, and a tune.
He took off in the car and it picks up pretty quick and it is very fast on a roll. At about 3K RPM the second intake kicks on and it lurches forward. I think if I would ever do this I would only have a small chance of staying with it for a few seconds from a dig, since my car has a decent amount of torque stock, and I dont know if that increased much with my mods.
I think the F has like 420HP and 370 torque from the factory.

HAHA 
that really stinks. but i didnt really think so either.
i guess i would have to do something major to even think about staying even.

Ha, like S8ER said you pretty much have no chance.. No offense or anything but those cars are fast. Don't let the power numbers fool you. A friend of mine has one and it rips on 5.0s and GT500s pretty easily. They are extremely well engineered and worth the price they go for. The tranny alone is insane..

Oh man, an IFA would be devestating. Not just for the OP, but for 90% of us on this forum, lol. But yea, the ISF should still win this pretty handidly..

He runs mid 12s and has no track experience.. Bone stock down to the tires.. They open up a lot more on the top end though.. We had a few runs on the freeway and I was surprised how well it kept up, it was a very impressive car..
