Great video - thank you!!
You guys did a great job with this beast
How much does this Lexus cost?
@@gsheverything_2716 appreciate that!
@@asnavto3680 The supercharger kit is 11k
ASN AVTO more than you can afford pal. Isf
With all due respect it cannot be compared to a 'Chevy SS'. The build quality, engineering and refinement of the ISF is a massive step above it.
Definitely. 1 Huge Level above it. Or a couple regular size notches depending how you look at it.
Disagree. The Chevy SS (Holden Commodore)is on par with the ISF in terms of build quality and engineering. The Holden Commodore was benchmarked against E39 BMW M5. Test drive one for a true comparison, that is if you can find one. In addition to modify the LS3 is definitely less expensive and a manual transmission available.
@@nkodo22 I live in Australia and have to disagree with you. They are a dime a dozen here and I have embarrassed several in my stock ISF. Modifying the LS3 is less expensive because it is no way near as refined as the 2UR engine. The 8 speed auto in the ISF is quicker shifting than the manual LS3 too obviously. The interior in the ISF is superior too.
@@gavinr9107 The LS3 engine is one of the best engines ever produced. There is a reason why the LS3 swap is extremely popular. It is reliable and cheap to modify. No one swaps the 2UR engine. The Toyota Altezza (Lexus ISF) is a dime a dozen in Japan, and they are not rare in the US. I will give you that the 8 speed is a great transmission, but there is no manual available and with a trans tune the Chevy SS comes alive. In addition, the Holden Commodore you guys get in Australia isn't fully loaded with amenities and has a slightly different interior than the Chevy SS we get here(Only options were a spare, sun roof and manual transmission. Everything else came standard). As for the interior of the ISF, the back seat is only there for appearance, and the tech is extremely dated. I would say it is a matter of opinion. I test drove both and ended up buying the Chevy SS due to the rarity (here in the US), low cost of modifying( I currently have headers and an LSA supercharger). You really can't go wrong with either, but in my estimation they are in the same league.
@@nkodo22 Yes all valid points. I love my ISF and you love your SS. They are both excellent cars. Nice to be able to discuss this with you in a mature fashion.
love my 2011 ISF. These cars stay under the radar until you meet someone who really knows about Fs.
That transmission was definitely ahead of its time. a 12 year old 8 speed wow
Ahead of it's time as far as being the 1st 8 speed and durable as hell. But other than that it doesn't upshift that fast and downshifting takes highschool semester's. I should know I have owned 3 for the past 4 years. Great enough had a lot is great attributes but also didn't do many other things well.
It’s laggy asf. A 2015 corolla paddles upshifts faster.
@@mperformance3502 stick with your Corolla then. If you drive cars like that then you don't drive ISF's trust me
@Romero Bryan First was introduced on Lexus LS 2006 year i don't know if it's the same though.
@@thegame123ize It is. I am sure they may have reprogrammed it a bit and just kept doing that as the years went on where now 2020 models have it and it has showed it's age.
Bruh the lexus IS is an underrated platform
yup planning on getting an is350 as my next all around car
good yes m3 is the real deal
living Free would take the ISF over the equivalent year {2011_2013} no question.
living Free 2012+ ISF ran the same times as the M3 around multiple tracks lol.
@@AliasProductions801 M3 is a much better car than the ISF. It came in manual (or auto) with a better, higher reving v8 (ignoring reliability). The chassis on the m3 is far far better than the IS chassis. The ISF did have significantly better brakes, but as a sports car, the m3 is by far the better driving vehicle.
-This is coming from a 2nd gen IS350 owner
The backseat has a funny little feature.
Pull the headrest all the way up and it tilts forward 90 degrees to allow your head more room by pushing it forward towards the upward curvature of the roof lol.
One of the BEST Japanese cars ever made. Bravo Lexus. The first luxury high performance sedan from japan.
This is a bucket list car for me. In the signature F blue
go grab one before be gone. I love my 08
Realy? The first luxury high performance sedan from japan? Sorry but the g35 when it broke ground in 03 was! It may have had less power but the critics raved over it! Also got car of the year award ! And was killing the germans and anything else at the time.it was such a huge at the time it practicaly saved Nissan! Yes it was slower than the isf compared to todays standards but what mattered the most was that it was well rounded! Performed exstremly well in brakeing, handeling 0to60 sorry but Toyota had nothing on the G back then!
Fred Williams excuse me ? The G35 ? LOL that was not a high performance sedan by any stretch of the imagination. Lexus is the true high performance luxury brand of japan. Period
Fred Williams the 2006 IS350 was the fastest car in it class so fast in fact it made bmw build the 335i sedan back in 2006.
@@Toyota4Life what? Lexus was? Lmao! Ok will how about the Nissan R32 And R34! You can keep quiet now! Nice try! 😂😂!😂
Love how well taken care of the owner has it. Props for a 12 yr old car. Lovethe IS-F
Thanks man I appreciate it
@@tortillachipmedia4616 yes sir. I hope if and when im able to get mine I can have it as clean well taken care of as you.
@@tortillachipmedia4616 I'm over here still rocking the 03 IS300. Stumbled upon this video because I am wanting to make the jump to an IS-F
Man o man, what a beautiful obsidian ISF! Kudos to the owner! Tastefully modded & Thank you RR Racing for making this a possibility!
Thanks man! The car was a lot of work and many hours of detailing I appreciate the compliment.
Nick Jarman You’re very welcome! I lost my 2011 back in 2017. I been dreaming of the day of getting it back ever since. I worry because I need to finance it, each day that passes it’s getting closer to impossible.
@@tortillachipmedia4616 do you have a Instagram I can follow?
@@jakeh900 I have a channel called Today We Wrench
55k on the odometer that is practically new.
I have an Ultrasonic Blue IS-F and love driving it every single day!
This car was around $140k in my country when it was new, at least 2 people bought it
Which country are you from ?
With those prices, maybe Russia ?
This is one of my dream cars. I really want to focus on owning Lexus and this is definitely a milestone for the Lexus name.
Did you ever get one? I'm planning on getting an F very soon can't wait
@@loganmckinney1285 same. Would u maybe know where I can find a low mileage ISF with little to no upgrades/ stock? ISF is the total dream and the prices r great
If a car can make your thighs twist, then it's in the upper echelon of badassery. Awesome review and good choice today! Keep em coming Zach!
I meant Zack. Please forgive me for my phone's auto correct lol.
Yes But your right it is bad### I love this car. My friend has one. and I'm going to get. one soon I hope
@@kennethrine8171 You can buy this one bro its for sale!
Awesome video! This ISF is a true BEAST👌
This car’s value doesn’t go down at all, thats crazy after 12 years its still almost the same price that it was when it was brand new.
What hood do you buy your crack from? Of course it's depreciated. You can get those for 20K or even less, all day long.
SuperN0va No crack just Gin. Where I live there is many still at around 38,000$- 50,000$. Ok, maybe it was my mistake to say « they worth the same » its more like « dealers/private sellers sell them 15k more than they worth because they are extremely rare ». Must be fun having an ISF for 20k, but where I live its just not possible unless there is 200km and that the car is beat up.
@@LordPrometheous you dont see them that cheap unless your buying it off the street
@@youngboyygio7091 I've seen a few for around 20K on Car Gurus, of course with higher miles, but in the past few months it's gotten bad due to car supply shortages. Hell, State Farm appraised my IS 250 at 17K when it got totaled back in July and I only owed 9900. So at this point a 20K ISF is either salvage or has been wrecked. Corona has ruined the used car market, especially for sports car buyers. I remember when Porsche 996s with decent mileage were $13K to $15K. Now it's $30K all day.
Who else liked before even watching just cause it’s a Lexus
Dude I’m so glad you finally got to review one of these. You need to drive an NA one soon too.
August 12th :)
Lexus isf in another level .. 🔥👌🏽👊🏽
Legit, I’m here to see about supercharging my LC500 with the same motor and here it is (same 5.0Lv8)💥💪🏾💥
Funny how people are just barley starting to realize how cool these cars are, 10 fucking years went by.
Lexus is number ONE on the market.
This Lexus as well is tuned as I like.
GREAT!!!!
Looks like they've heard your prayers. Welcome back IS500.
one of the cleanest isf i’ve seen so far
Thank you
Isf are great ,as they are ..with a supercharger it’s a beast, smiles for many miles
I just bought my buddies 2013 ISF off about 2 months it’s an ultrasonic blue with Hayward and Scott exhaust 64k on the clock…… what you said is exactly right this car is intoxicating…. My father worked for the forklift division of Toyota so we’ve several several Toyotas over the years. There’s something about this car….. if you’re ever in Sacramento, let me know you can drive mine….
I remember when i owned one and was always getting shit for driving a 8speed, now cars are 10speed. Thing was amazing. Regret selling it but had to move on. Great car man, amazing machine
EPIC car. that supercharger kit fully loaded (not counting ethanol) is only 10k. that's a fucking steal! man i hope i can get one of these someday...
Great video-The second cup-holder is actually under the flip up armrest. I never use it.
Cool video again Zach!
I'll hopefully get one in 2 or 3 years
It's like a ls400 and a is300 had a baby
Awesome video, beast of a car too
Lovely review! Pure truth and great energy....
Toyota has always had a reputation for building bulletproof transmissions. When Kia came out with the first generation Sorento, it was equipped with abToyota 5 speed automatic transmission and transfer case! Yes! It was a TRUE 4X4! You could select 2WD/4WD HI/4WD LO, and it worked flawlessly! I can never seem to get your email address. I wanted to request a test drive of a Kia Soul. Really like the car. Have not had an opportunity to drive one. Thanks!
This video and the other one of you doing pulls is the reason that I own a supercharged ISF. So I guess you did give some buying advice lol
It's awkward using the gear lever when selecting gears. Ideally you should pull back to go up a gear and push forward to go down a gear, but the flappy paddles are on the wheel and not on the steering column which more than makes up for that.
That car is a beauty!
i had an is250, loved the looks but hated how slow it was. i wanted the ifs but went with a w204 c63. still plan to get an isf
try the GSF, would like to see a video on what you think of that compared to the ISF
What is the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times with the supercharger kit?
I like this guy. Great Video!
The trans is still in use for 2020's
They have updated this car GSF & RCF. Both has the same block, makes makes more power stock, seems like it shifts faster, and puts down a bit more with the RR supercharger. But... I believe it's a tad heavier. I love my my RCF and they are getting to be a bargain with some in the mid 30k range. Back seats and infotainment system blows just like like ISF. I like to think of it as my Japanese Trans-AM.
Same engine and trans. The only reason the power is greater is because the Rev limiter on the ISF was 6600 and the rev limiter on the RCF is 7100. The engine makes good power up top and with the ISF's rev limiter turned to 7100 they would be nearly identical. Shifting is the exact same no faster and with the supercharger they have the same numbers. The ISF is significantly lighter and will pull on the RCF and GSF every day of the week. Not boasting just more or less saying Lexus screwed up with the weight on both the cars. They should have made them the same or lighter than the isf
@@tortillachipmedia4616 oh I agree she is fatty but I don't think this ISF has the suspension or the torque vectoring differential so maybe in a straight line but on the track not really sure. That being said if I'm dropping $35,000 I'd rather get a 2015 over a 2008. You are hard-pressed to find it an ISF under 40K miles and it can rev higher because it has a new top-end.
Beautiful and rare car 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Have been looking for a clean example for about maybe 2 years lol, have passed up on a few good ones, if you don’t pull the trigger instantly they will be gone right away. I wish to find a low mile 2011+ soon! Would prefer the ultrasonic blue, just beautiful
This one is for sale and probably the cleanest you will find if you can't tell from the video
Yupp it’s super clean I can tell, I’ll never buy a black car tho lol
Took me a while to save up for my isF...I guess saving up for a $10K~ Supercharger kit should be a little easier.
shooting cars: "it growls, it bites, it snarls, what toyota does that?"
Supra: Hold my beer
Yeah a stock Supra sucks ass
What like in 1997 lol
First thing I notice it wasnt the turbo charger engine it was the ISF ILLINOIS WHITE SOX LICENSE PLATE THAT LOOKS 🔥🔥🙌🙌🔥🔥 IM GOING TO LOOK OUT FOR THIS ISF HERE IN ILLINOIS ❤❤❤
not turbo
3 years later we got a new isf now :) thank you toyota for keeping it alive
hopefully getting this by the next of this year
"Did i just date myself by saying Vista?" That sir, earned you a subscriber
No JZ needed is what i got 😆 Thanks for the video
My God, what a masterpiece
What rims are on the car ??
No it’s not exactly the same 5.7L in the tundra but it’s from the same UR series engine from Toyota/Lexus. Yamaha helped develop/engineer the head for the 2UR...that’s where you get that Vtec sound from over 4K rpm.
They do use the same oil filter....I get my filters from the Toyota dealer for $6
There's another cup holder in the center console
How can the power be unknown when it should of been tuned on a dyno after the charger fitted..
why is he shifting with the knob and not the paddles
best car ever made by Lexus just legendary
@Romero Bryan to each of their own. LFA is in supercar price range. And why should someone pay $400k for a Lexus, when they can buy Lambo or Ferrari. LC500 is alright to me if its the 5.0 liter V8. Just my opinion
@@carsandcribschannel7868 You obviously don't know much about the LFA if you think it isn't more special than a regular Lambo/Ferrari/McLaren
@@classicalindia1 hes talking about an affordable car. You could get a gt3rs or 720s for the price of an lfa
@@classicalindia1 it is a very special car but way too expensive. and something me and could never afford. so im going with ISF. lol
@@carsandcribschannel7868 how is lfa 400k? it cost 100k in Turkey and sweden i dont knwo about US doe? some countries have the car cheap. gt3rs is way more expensive in this country but i dont know about US. So it cost 400k in US or?
I love my 07 is but ill take the ifs anyday.
New IS 500 is essentially the same car Monderized. I have a 2016 RC F that has the 5.0 liter v8 in it and it screams. Wish I could add the super charger to it but it’s $12,000 dollars.
This shit will sell so fast what a beast
This car is for sale isn’t it? Seen the same one on Autotrader.
even though i love my 07 is350 i would take a isf anyday
All of us is350 owners would. Its like the bigger sexier brother
As would I
For IS350 HP gain.
Intake = 5 hp
Exhaust = 10 hp
RR Racing Tune = 20 hp
PPE Header = 20 hp
LORD OF THE RiMS yes it is. So hard to find with good mileage smh. I’ll just hold on to my 350 and try to be happy lol
Tim so true. I’ve been waiting for 4 months for a 350 to pop up with decent mileage but no luck. Thinking about flying to another state for one haha
How quiet is the cabin with. the extra boost?
I raced nick in this oh my gosh ur not lying I was on a Yamaha r600 sport bike he kept up well
Thats awesome.
possibly the cleanest ISF that i have ever seen.
Much appreciated!!! Worked my butt off to make it that way, now im building a MKIV Supra
@@TodayWeWrench 🙏💯
Love it!
I still want this car
Why are you shifting on the stick? Paddles are right in front of you. Also turn traction control off and don't put it into sport or turn ECT on.
It honestly triggered me that he wasn't paddle shifting
Me to i thought I was the only one
It's strange, it's missing some features that are included in my 2006 2.5L model. Features such as radio adaptive cruise control and A/C ionizer
Can you please ask the guy what kind of times hes gettiing on the 1/4 mile? Im really curious to the performance of the base kit , the 625 package. Any help is appreciated, this was a great video!
11.4 in the quarter on pretty bad tires. It should be close to 11 flat
@@tortillachipmedia4616 Are you the car owner? I am really thinking of getting one of these kits but just the base kit because I have no E85 where I live, and Im just wondering if you think its worth it? Its so tempting
@@eedoamitay3341 You can't get the street kit if you have no e85. Get the full kit its about a 11k investment
@@tortillachipmedia4616 In the video it show you can make 565hp on pump gas, what does that mean? Sorry im just confused
@@eedoamitay3341 93 octane is pump
I just saw this car on Chicago Craigslist... same owner? So it looks like he changed the ad and removed this supercharged 2008 F and listed his stock black 2010 F. Interesting maybe the video made him want to keep it! I must say the style is nice and clean!
Nope its for sale. I have two
Nick Jarman wow two rare F’s! So 2 makes one GSF now? Or what’s next?
That is one sexy car. Makes me feel a sad in my GS350.
I love all models of the IS, whether it's the IS F, IS 250 300 350 but this IS F has to be sexiest IS Car ever
where did he get that shift knob?
Feel the twist sensation felt that with late 90s high end Mercedes
open diff or LSD? i didn't watch the whole video.....theres alotta other videos on this that talk about erganomic design and how well a person fits in the back seat.
it has mechanical lsd
LSD came stock on 2010+
Hey is this car supercharged?
This car was made to rival Mercedes C63 AMG & BMWs E92 M3 thats why that car was born 🤦🏽♂️🔥🔥🔥🤟🏽💯
I believe next Lexus LS 500 will have 500 to 600 horsepower for 2024 to compete Lexus says the next ls will more power.
I have the 07 seats they look similar and they are hellla uncomfortable after like 45 mins
Whats the wheel fitment like on these
yes bring back the ISF, focus more on performance.
Do you prefer using the shifter over the paddles?
Usually paddle, not sure why I used the shifter in the pull
Shooting Cars because it feels like a sequential
Good video, Loose some weight before its too late
Japanese muscle baby
Nick if you see this.would you sell the car!????
7:50 Looks like GTA V. The camera shakes the same
Wish it had cooled seats
The 250/350 had ventilated. No second generation IS had cooled.
Hey man I’ve been looking at a Lexus IS 250 f sport 2015 do you think I can maybe switch the engine to a v8 since it’s a v6?
Nah dude the engine alone is over 6k, ecu wiring is insanely hard. If you were to swap a Lexus I'd recommend doing an 06-12 is 250 with a blown engine and swapping for a 3uz 4.3 liter quad cam lexus engine from 01 ls430. Not easy but much easier than what you're suggesting
Better just to buy IS350, ISF or RCF
Your request was granted. Lexus IS500 available this year, and for a lower price tag.
There goes the power to weight ratio
Hey Nick, what wheels are those in that ISF?
Velgen VMB5
Rickey Singh it looks like ferradas fr8
Not Velgen
Avant Garde m510
What are the rims and the specs please!?!?
19" Avant Garde m510 not sure bout the offset
I love my LS-F
In my country, it's about 16.000$
Easy on donuts homie 😋👌
Looking for a shop in Southern California to do the supercharger install properly can anybody recommend someone with experience?
im also in socal. did you ever find anyone?
