Johann Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Sneaky bastard, lets see some (more) pics! Traded the V70 for this 2009 IS-F. It's a German import, 20K km on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Very nice! I figured that was a sneak peek. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 So how do you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 So how do you like? I should have picked it up tomorrow but unfortunately wrecked a driveshaft of the V70 after removing the lowering kit. Driveshaft is in backorder and will arrive at Wednesday so delivery of the IS needs to wait.. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I am thinking about moving to the Netherlands and applying for the "toilet scrubber position" at Johann's house, just so I can take a few of his horses out of the stable . And its "Spanky"!!! Chuck gave me 30 days of hard labor in Mrs W's fallopian forest for coming on with multiple names . 400hp 6-speed??

Mesoam Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Good stuff, I recall your review of the trans was actually rather positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy81 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Holy stuff Johan! That Lexus is pretty sick! Nice trade! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCviggen Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Good stuff, I recall your review of the trans was actually rather positive Its excellent, its a better "automatic" than the SMG/DKG stuff but not much worse than a semi manual for hard driving. You just need the annoying shift beep turned off. Edited December 21, 2010 by JCviggen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I was watching something on Nurburgring last night online, what is some of JC's and your best times with various cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I was watching something on Nurburgring last night online, what is some of JC's and your best times with various cars? Well.. If JC and I would start at the same time JC has just finished his coffee at the Grüne Hölle Restaurant by the time I cross the finish line.

Spanky Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Well.. If JC and I would start at the same time JC has just finished his coffee at the Grüne Hölle Restaurant by the time I cross the finish line. I was trying to get a idea of lap time between the VS members cars and that of what production cars run it in. There has been more then a few articles about the new CTS-V breaking the record there for a production sedan. I was not sure how good the time is ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that was his fastest lap though, sorry for the threadjack Johann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
