The Lexus IS F is a pretty nice looking car, but can it’s exterior match what’s under the hood? I intended to find out by turning it into a race monster! However, I soon discovered that due to its heavy weight it can perform quite well on only sports tires. I made the entire tune with sports soft tires and had no trouble racing it around numerous tracks. Of course, if you decide on using racing tires it will only perform better and you will get even quicker times. Overall, I am quite happy with how it turned out. It was a difficult car to drive at first, but I kept tuning it until it was right where I want it. Doesn’t have a ton of under or oversteer and is quite balanced. Really like driving this one, and if you really want to fly check out the actual race car version of it.
