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.
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
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
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.
@@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.

@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 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 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….
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
If you ever find yourself thinking "sometimes I talk shit" just remember there are people out there who say "5.0 litre" instead of the normal "5 litre"
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.
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.
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!
@@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
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 ❤❤❤
There are too many variables without seeing the car to answer that. I bought a 2012 because of the revised headlights and LSD (2010+). The suspension on the earlier models was more harsh than the 2011's and newer, but if you plan on changing suspension that wont matter. Headlights, suspension can be changed and LSD can be added. It took me 2 years to find one, luckily I only had to fly to LA from the bay area. I found some in a few other states that sold in a few days or hours. I also own a 2010 IS350 and the ISF is better in every way. Club Lexus has comparisons between the ISF model years. Mine was about $38k a few years ago, Starfire pearl with red leather, the older ones can be found significantly cheaper. The money you save on the older ones can be put into mods that will make it feel and perform like the later MY's. It's kind of an oddity though, you get people that know about ISF's that will break their neck looking, but most think it's a lower model IS or even an F Sport which you'll find annoying or humorous...the absolute best feeling is pulling up to a mustang, camaro, or charger and smoking their asses on the freeway. With intake, headers, exhaust, tune you're looking at ~420 WHP or ~500HP at the crank. Depending on the supercharger you can get close to 800hp at the crank with FBO. It's a dope ass car you should get one.
Great video - thank you!!

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.
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
Feel the twist sensation felt that with late 90s high end Mercedes
How quiet is the cabin with. the extra boost?
Japanese muscle baby
Link to those rims?
Those are factory rims that came with the car.
No, they're Avant Garde m510s
This shit will sell so fast what a beast
where did he get that shift knob?
Wish it had cooled seats
The 250/350 had ventilated. No second generation IS had cooled.
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
Love it!
I love my 07 is but ill take the ifs anyday.
Your request was granted. Lexus IS500 available this year, and for a lower price tag.
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
Found used 2009 has 100k miles.....good to buy?
There are too many variables without seeing the car to answer that. I bought a 2012 because of the revised headlights and LSD (2010+). The suspension on the earlier models was more harsh than the 2011's and newer, but if you plan on changing suspension that wont matter. Headlights, suspension can be changed and LSD can be added. It took me 2 years to find one, luckily I only had to fly to LA from the bay area. I found some in a few other states that sold in a few days or hours. I also own a 2010 IS350 and the ISF is better in every way. Club Lexus has comparisons between the ISF model years. Mine was about $38k a few years ago, Starfire pearl with red leather, the older ones can be found significantly cheaper. The money you save on the older ones can be put into mods that will make it feel and perform like the later MY's.
It's kind of an oddity though, you get people that know about ISF's that will break their neck looking, but most think it's a lower model IS or even an F Sport which you'll find annoying or humorous...the absolute best feeling is pulling up to a mustang, camaro, or charger and smoking their asses on the freeway. With intake, headers, exhaust, tune you're looking at ~420 WHP or ~500HP at the crank. Depending on the supercharger you can get close to 800hp at the crank with FBO.
It's a dope ass car you should get one.
Lexus is always ahead of his opponents: Automatic-Parking, electric seats, xenon lights.. they always the first on the market
Just cars with passion and reliability
I still want this car
Its for sale? How much are you asking?
someone go buy this F. It's Awesome!!
$38,500 has 50k miles

I also like RCF, GSF 😎👍
GSF was killed off
@ShootingCars what are the rims on these
I believe next Lexus LS 500 will have 500 to 600 horsepower for 2024 to compete Lexus says the next ls will more power.
