She then told me she did not want that slow boring car. So am looking for some better options.

I will change her mind the next she comes over for some "excitement"

But your point is well taken Lucid - No street racing (let alone discussions!)

Street racing was part of my youth and that was a long time ago

These days you end up in jail for that stuff!But I do miss those days as we sure had a lot of fun!

What does this mean? Something about you exiting? The track?

No, you can't!

I hope it is not your old age? You better get your eyes tested before the race!

The only way to see you will be by focusing on my rear view mirror going through the traps

You will see me in your mirror, as I am about to lap you.

Don't forget to also look forward for the blue flag....and I am not talking about the Viagara blue....the slow traffic move off the racing line blue flag.

WTF!We are drag racing,but confusion has always interfered with your ability to understand a normal thought process.

Gearhead999s · 04-20-2009, 04:01 PM

Dee I know your confused by the term Drag racing and just to point out it has nothing to do with dressing like this,but I know you are quite disapointed by that

WOW Dunky! That is a great picture of you! WOW! Was it done in a studio or at home? I knew you had the beard, but I didn't know you had such long hair.....and those tattoos!! WOW, you are hardcore!! Were they taken as promotional shots when you WERE a race car driver?

You know, I thought I could compete with you in drag, but based on your studio shots above, I concede victory to you!

Glad to see this thread has been revived - can't wait to see the race

I was beginning to worry the IS-F was going to be a no show!

Maybe Dee needs to get one of these IS-F's to toast me on the road course.

Participants from a recent Lexus IS-F event confirmed that the harder, lightweight IS-F Evolution will make its debut in the summer of 2010 with prices starting around $250,000.

Sources say that the IS-F has gone through a serious weight-reduction program with extensive use of carbon-fiber. Total weight has been reduced by 308 pounds for a total of 3,410 pounds. The Lexus IS-F Evolution will also feature a 417-hp V8, carbon brakes, carbon interior and an upgraded aggressive front and rear.

The Lexus IS-F Evolution will see a limited production of just 500 units most of which will be sold in Japan. No word on how many units will be allocated for the international markets

Is that a joke? a $250 000 LEXUS? WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION?

That is by far the most ridiculous thing I have read in 2009 thus far.

MMMorish · 04-21-2009, 11:37 AM

I wonder, are all 4 tailpipes in a $250,000 Lexus IS-F functional?

All four tail pipes are functional now.....

Seriously...is that the only thing you guys can bag on?

Not very creative...

But yes, I would not pay $250K for this car either...I can find lots of better places for my money.

but my wife might like that car

FBTO · 04-21-2009, 02:12 PM

I guess the Audi R8, Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, Bugatti Veyron are also useless cars for such a high price? They don't have a "Functional" (as you call it) exhaust either??

No one said useless, I just asked if the $250,000 Lexus had functional exhaust tips.
