Kind of hilarious, right?

The IS 500 is a true ISF successor as far as I'm concerned. Great car.

I mean, it kind of is, but it really isn't (IMO). It's not set up for track use at all like the original IS-F, GS-F and RC-F were.

You CAN track the car stock, but it will give up the goods after about 2 hot laps.

But I didn't purchase it because I wanted to track it. I purchased it because it is super comfortable and has an amazing sounding V8 is that is relatively quick.

I can't ask for much more. I'm thrilled with my purchase.

Fair enough.
