I would have put many cars on him if my clutch was adjusted.
I can't hit shifts at WOT right now...takes 2 seconds to make the shifts. So each time I went to shift...he caught right back up. Once I got it in gear, I would start pulling him pretty hard.
It was quick though!! Nice cars.

A lot more car?? Nahh, you get a lot more car for your money with the GT, which will be HALF the price.
Lets see, 400HP Toyota for $60K, or 400HP Mustang for $30K?? Mustang will also have a 6 speed manual, not that piece of shit paddle shift 8 speed the IS-F has.
At least the Mustang won't pin its gas pedal to the floor and run you and your family headlong into a wall at 100+MPH. And Toyota tried to blame the floor mats?? LOL, they are a piece of shit company, now they have a multi million vehicle recall for throttle controls.

Wesman you do know GM has had millions of cars recalled for issues aswell, like 1.5million for engine fires. Does that make your precious GM a piece of shit company aswell?
As for the is-fs shitty 8 speed tranmission, your crazy if you think its bad, its one of the fastest shifting production conventional autos available. It shifts in 1/10th of a second, the only thing to rival that is the dual clutch trannys out today.Last edited by Zinergy; 01-26-2010 at 09:13 AM.

Ok, one more time cause maybe I'm missing something here....is your 99 Firebird "stock"?
If so, you're saying that even granny shifting is walking an IS-F?
Kind of hard to believe for me. That's a 0-60 in around 4.6 second car, with a 1/4 mile trap speed of around 110.
Maybe I missed something and you've got more HP, but until I threw in the 150 shot, a car like that would have given me one hell of a run, if not pulled away. I know last time I looked and checked my bank account, I surely wasn't stock under the hood.
Don't feel offended, just looking for clarification.
