Although Lexus claimed there trans shifts F1 fast every review ive ever read when i was thinkn about buying an IS-f said the trans wasn't up to pair.

The IS F's 8-speed (now in the IS 350 F Sport too) is a fantastic trans. It locks the torque converter in 2nd gear and above and the shifts are VERY fast. I drove several IS Fs, including on the track, and if you hadn't told me it was a torque converter, I would've thought it was a dual-clutch.
