HPDE with BMWCCA-NY Poconos North Course.

Special thank you to Bill Finsilver, Lee Morse and Andrew Jones at Rallye Lexus for supporting me and the IS.

F-Sport Exhaust, F-Sport front and rear sway bar and F-Sport short shifter installed the day before the event, this exhaust design, looks and sounds amazing, during the 2 1/2 hour ride to the Poconos it did not bother me at all, no excessive drone at highway speeds and when you got on it it just sounds amazing, the sweet spot for this exhaust is right in between 2500 rpm and 3500 rpm from partial load, its were its the loudest. but during highway driving coasting right in those range you can hear its slightly louder than stock.

The F-Sport Sway bar is 2 mm larger in diameter in front and rear is mm larger than stock, it definally help the car to corner better and flatter,but the car still has body roll which requires heavier springs, but the car now rotates really nice especially in turn 2 and turn 3 late apex at the poconos. definally a good upgrade.

The short shifter quality is amazing, billet aluminum and blue in color, it reduced the shift throw by 35 percent and it gives great positive shift feel, made heel and toe down shift and normal upshift alot quicker and the feel is great as you shifted into gear and in between gates.

this video is the last session of the day at the Poconos....
