Drove an IS-F today, best sports sedan ever. The interior is tiny but it's still comfy, and it packs some muscle under the hood. Shifts incredibly smooth too.

Daddy wants!

Not the newer ones. I'm really partial to the Jap stuff though. The IS-F has the largest motor of all three, really good amount of torque. I just love the idea of a NA 5 liter V8 in such a small sedan.

Definitely test the IS-F, the 8 speed AT is super smooth. I hate AT in a sporty car, but the IS-F is a winner for sure.

no updateds just yet but i picked up the A-Spec kit today from downtown and gotta admit im a bit disappointed. I thought the kit came with brand new full bumpers. Apparently not! my hard earned 750 bucks went to bumper add ons. disappointed but lets see how they look on the ride.

wait, you thought they were full bumpers????


the lip kit, is just that. the lips.
they add so much to the car.
if you havent seen ralphs car, take a look.
it makes his more sporty.

I have the same color as ralphs, and by far his lip kit made it much more attractive and more muscular.

750 shipped is a steal though, considering its a high quality OEM, urethane, painted lip kit, with all the little mounting hardware.

princess ralph!!

I had taken Emmanuel out last night in the srt, and I hope I didnt scare him too much! the srt is a fucking BEAST.

some guy on a bike (maybe a 600cc) signaled for me to punch it. i down shifted to 3rd and went!
he punched it as well, and remained near my rear quarter panel. I'm pretty happy that the dodge has some balls!
