@freddytommek: I would buy an m3 over the IS-F I agree. However I would DEFINITELY take a new GT-R over a 911. The numbers are there to back it up and the aftermarket allows unlimited possibilities for the Nissan. BTW it costs about the same as your M3 and could spank it anywhere.
@wolfmotha77 didn´t say that, but nissan claim that their GTR is better than a Porsche 911 Turbo, what i wanted to say is, that japanes car companys always try to beat down german cars.... ohh and that you criticize my language, means that i am right and you got no arguments for your shitty ISF!!! M3 all the way !!!
@wolfmotha77 the first M Model came out in 1978, Lexus wasn´t even born at that time !! BMW M company won so many prices since that time: e.g. Engine of the Year 2007, engine of the year 2008 and engine of the year 2009... where is lexus or nissan at that point?? yeah the are at the asses of the big german car companys, trying to keep up, but they cant.. German Engineering FTW !!!
@freddytommek but you forget freddy that even though german engineering makes faster cars that handle very well, they still have a hard time making their cars last and survive through out winter and summer.
not to point out that the so called "luxury" that isn't there in a BMW but the price sticker is, is a problem within itself.
@Randomkaoz have you ever sit in a BMW with all options in it ?? there are so many assistent systems in it, that you must study the manuals, to do nothing wrong!! Then all the leather and seat options, BMW is luxury !!!
@freddytommek ummm yeah i've own 4 BMWs in my life time and so have my friends and family members. We've all said that same thing, even other BMW owners have sat in our cars like damn i wish the B came with this stuff. Maybe is luxury to you, like how a lincoln is lux to ford owners. My M3 would have came out to 72K if i fully loaded the car, when the IS-F comes with all those options for 63K and more.
@RyguyCC lol no it's not haha. if it was I could only afford one with no home to put it.
isn't it 65 or 68K brand new? I paid 58 for mine, but my uncle fully loaded is M3 and it was like 75K with tax and shit just to have the same features i have and it really isn't that much fun to drive like the F.
The F is crazy, the M3 is too sedan type so the ride is smooth and the handling is stiffer.
i work lexus an these cars r f in sik...every 1 argues that the m3 is better...an maybe it is..bt this was lexus 1st attempt...give them 2oyears like the m3 has had to get to where it is an maybe then ppl will realise these are fukin mean cars that jus need a bit mre time getting right...you cannot beat the noise it makes wen hits secondary valve at 3800rpm...like a vtec on steroids....
@picco244 hey I totally agree I have a 2010 F in blue and im addicted to the secondary valve sound that starts at 3800. Have you heard of anyway to trick it into always being in this mode. Or say start at 2200 instead. =) This would be incredible!
Wonder why they left the sport mode on the car responds like a whole different car when you do this. I have a 2010 model in blue and I must say I love it!
@MistaM5 ISF makes more horsepower than the M3...It has a bigger engine then the M3...its faster in a straight line...... im guessing u got ur facts from wikipedia
@LikMiDik and now lets turn back to engineering: ISF produces 420 bhp from 5.0 litre V8, M3 produces the same power from only 4.0 litre... Hmmmm if BMW would raise the Litre on the level of Lexus, the ISF could suck the cock of the M3
@LikMiDik That's not really true, there's no way an IS-F can reach 195 with only 420 hp, that's about as fast as a Nissan GT-R or a Corvette Z06 (superlight weight with 512hp), maybe it will hit about 180-185mph (due to aerodynamics and weight) but your gonna need a lot of extra power to reach 190+
@Randomkaoz if there are some engine modifications i would say you're right, stock no way, you can measure that how hard it pulls ( for example how many seconds it takes from 160-170) and that's about the same as the m3 and R8 but even the R8 with 420 hp wich is lighter, more focused on high speeds, only reaches 186mph, that's about the limit for 420 hp
@SuperBijoux Stiu, dar IS-F e varianta de top de la Lexus (inafara de LF-A) compari o varianta de top cu o varianta de clasa mica de la BMW?Sunt in aceeasi clasa ok, dar Lexus sa straduit f. mult cu motorul de pe IS-F , cei de la BMW au pus un V8 de 4.2 L simplu fara turbo, fara supraalimentare doar un motor simplu fata de cel de 5.0 L V8 de la lexus;).
I prefer stickshift. It feels more natural and precise. Paddleshifting feels a little artificial for cars that are slow, not like stickshifting. When it comes to paddleshifted trans., Ferrari is the best!
I'll take steering wheel placed shifters over center console stick shifters. The time it takes for you to shift using both hands and feet are slower with manuals than with so so called "paddles". Sonic Boom!
theres no reason to..if it you think it makes you look cool then by all means pull them. the cars computer is more smarter and can calculate the best and most optimal shift points
right....... When u engage that paddles...throttle response tightens and the shift quickens. What u siad was right only for daily driving not on the track.
are you being serious? I own the car. It is a totally different driving experience when you have it in sport mode with it in manual mode (paddles). Quicker shifts and better throttle response. Please dont talk about something you have no idea about. Especially if you dont own the car. BTW I have gotten my car to 280 and I still had room for more. The person in the video should have been in sport mode using paddles shifters
yeahh i wish my car was stick :( it would be 50 times faster and 500 times more fun :( i just need to do a swap which is not cheap :S.. but still besides that this cars tranny is amazing it like a friking motorcycle cause gears are so close lol
yeah agree !!! well im getting an sti, now i got just the base non turbo vers of impreza, and auto tranny, i wanted to get a stick shift, but u know when parents resist what can u do!! so im leaving my car to my dad, n getting an sti, the real sport car !!! i just love that car !! btw my car looks just the sti, cuz i have the sti spoiler, an intake, n was gonna turbo it, but i'd better get the sti....and other stuffs that make my car be like an sti, but not so fast though!!
oh man you lucky cracker! lol all i have is my lil granny accord v6 sedan XD it still moves though not that fast but defends it self lol XD... but ill se if within a year or so i trade it in for mazdaspeed 3 or ill see when the time comes.. but enjoy your sti man!
thanks bro... well i like the accords, they're pretty fast, i love the new 08-09 accords, especially the coupe, lol those r sweet, like a girlfriend... ! mazdaspeed 3's are fast too, but i don't like the hatchbacks lol, even the new sti's have been screwup up !
yeah but this is even better than stick.. its the fastest tranny in the world in the moment in manual mode its i think it said in the specs 0.001 sec between shifts.. instead of dual clutch they did it electronically somehow something like that
yeah i agree id powershift the mofo and dont lose time at all lol but i think when its cars like gtr that have that launch control and things like that well thats sort of diff.. even though stick cars have it too which they also have that advantage
exactly dude....bu the advantage of stick is totally different right ? it's a lot of fun, duing burnout, donuts, and stufs like that which is impossible on auto, well u can do it by putting it on neutral, then give some accelaration, then immediately put it on 1st gear, but it's deff gonna blow ur tranny :)
when you have the car in sport mode(green "sport" light around the 8.5k red line area) and in manual, a huge "F" appears in the area where the video shows avg 14.1. In this mode you can hear beeps that suggest a shift is indicated and also blips during high reving downshifts.
