We really haven't seen too much of the Lexus IS-F (http://jalopnik.com/cars/news/detroit-auto-show-lexus-isf-in-the-flesh-226982.php) since the meanish blue beastie rolled onto the fog-filled set (http://jalopnik.com/cars/news/detroit-auto-show-lexus-isf-in-the-flesh-226982.php) at the Detroit Auto Show (http://jalopnik.com/cars/detroit-auto-show/). This last weekend we not only saw a sweet pearl white IS-F (http://jalopnik.com/cars/is_f/), but we witnessed that same IS-F setting the pace for the vintage Can-Am and IMSA racecars on top of shredding some tires between rounds. A couple of IS350 sedans were also on track during the event, which was presented by Toyota. The IS-F, powered by a 5.0-liter directed-injected V8 producing more than 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, carved well ahead of its tires barking Lexus (http://jalopnik.com/cars/lexus/) brethren, and sang a sweet V8 song through the quad-tipped exhaust. It really did sound that good. It's a fine appearance of a car we'll likely see in dealerships by early 2008.

I still say the whole hood and front end treatment is too 'tacked on' looking
