    Overpriced is a bit silly to say, the market is what buyers are willing to pay. The great thing is that prices don’t seem to be falling much if at all. I honestly see higher prices now than I did a year ago.

    Now playing

    Actually I have been in the process of livening up my exhaust. I currently have a Borla catback setup and recently bought an RR Racing upgrade that changes the rear muffler to a bit deeper magna flow and they have tips that go all the way out. However, i was a little sad to find that with my diffuser, the tips are too…

    That’s the thing, there’s not many cars that can do it as well as this underrated car. Show me a car you can get for $30k that has 0-60 in mid 4's, quarter mile in mid 12's, and is reliable enough to daily drive but have fun with.

    Thanks! It’s the mercury metallic silver, OEM color. Here it is in better light:

    The great thing about an 8 year old $25k car like this is when it’s 10 years old it’ll still be worth $23k. The fusion will keep dropping and not be anywhere near as fun.

    I upgraded from a manual G to the ISF and it is well worth it. Very similar cars in that they’re not great at anything specific, but are very good overall and very cheap to own and mod compared to their BMW/Audi/Lexus competition. Sadly the IS250 had some wide spread issues with carbon buildup and the IS250 while…

    As of 2016, RR Racing in PA has been selling tune’s non stop, there is another called OVTune, but less owners have it. The headers have been proven to be a poor design with people gaining up to 30whp alone just from them, the catbacks have proven to gain about 20-28whp also themselves, together with tunes people have…

    I have only done Borla catback and JoeZ intake, that was ~$1300. Headers are $1400-1700 or so, cheaper used of course. But primary mods most do are headers and catback and maybe tune.

    He is in fact, a very good boy. Thanks!! :)

    I avg 21.5 or so weekly with a traffiky commute, on 1-2 hour trips to Eastern shore or south VA with speed limit at 55-65 with only myself I can get 28 pretty easily, 29 if I drive like a grandma and reset it with no stops in between. Jump up to 75 or so on 95 and it falls to 24-26. That’s no AC and one person. I also…

    Nothing really other than I was a bit bored with the platform. I had an 04 G35 coupe, an 08 G37 coupe, and a 13 and 12 G37 sedan(both black, one sadly totaled). All were great cars and all were manual. I drive a lot of miles and like to switch often. I simply wanted a bit more power and the ISF gave me that as well as…

    No, one was Rockville, other was Kent Island.

    Nearly every magazine had it at 12.4-12.7 stock. Minor exhaust mod(header and catback will net nearly 50whp itself, and a tune will bring it up from 355ish to 405-415whp.

    Thanks! It’s a tom’s diffuser rep actually, but does the “aesthetic” job. I have BC racing coilers with swift spring 14/10 upgrade. I mainly got them to improve the harsher ride the 08-10 models had. Only went maybe a half inch lower as it’s a daily and DC roads aren’t forgiving.

    Ah, I see you may have commented on the black ones I also posted. I am honestly not sure of that brand.

    Only minor regret is not getting an 11+ as I have an 08. The car was greatly upgraded with the steering/handling/ride improvement, LSD addition, better cluster, updated LED lights, and nicer wheel options. However, I spent the difference on mods like exhaust, suspension, wheels, intake, diffuser, lip, roof wrap, brake…

    It does in black, I think it is terrible in every other color. The interior is gorgeous and yes it’s a better car, but there have been several on the forums who have upgraded only to go back to an ISF.
