808celica drives IS-F and AMG C63, my adventures.... Options

[808celica]

Club Lexus of Hawaii Pizza Run


I was gonna tag along in the celica until my friend pm'd me if I wanted to take the F and he take his C63. Of course I said yes, but scared at the same time.


Now my thoughts on the F:
5.0 v8
Interior is well blended with silver C/F panels here and there to the black leather with blue stitching.
Steering wheel feel is crisp and more than I expected from the F.
Navi and all controls are easy to use, however I didnt wanna use sport mode cuz its not my car
Also I didnt know Navi in Hawaii could be useful.
Pedal is semi-light and Brakes feels like the 6gc.
Power from the car is amazing. The torque is addicting. The feel is better than riding in an Evo.
Overall I would gladly buy one as my daily.

Now the C63


My friend asked , "how was the F?" I told him I love it. Then he asked did you open it up? I told him not really, I didnt want to.
I wasnt expecting to drive this cuz I had fallen in love with the F. When rolling out my friend said here and threw me the keys. "You drive this one now and try follow me in the F" Gave him the F key and we rolled out. Knowing that I didnt open up the F he made me open up the C63 cuz he took off in the F and I didnt know where we were going, so i gave chase......

my thoughts:
6.3 v8
Seats really hug. I mean REALLY HUG
The sides wrap firmly and keep you planted. (The F had a little more luxury)
Power is instant, well kinda no brainer due to the 1.3 more liters from the F.
Steering feel is more sports. Feels like a Nardi or Sparco wheel. The F is a full circle the C63 is flatter in in the 6 position.
Pedal feel is medium, not to heavy, and not too light where you barely touch the gas and instant 5k rpms.
The brakes feels heavy though. It requires a little more push to feel the car start to slow down.

When I gave chase to the F, the adrenaline you get is amazing. Car is easy to control when doing the whole Wangan Midnight thing
Both cars growl is addicting, you wanna keep hitting the gas a little to hear it. Go alot of dirty looks from guys in Hondas, Nissans, Mistus, Subbies, etc. I guess they didnt expect a younger kid to be more balla' than they were

I was asked what car I would like more? I said for what kind of life? Daily?? I'd take the F My weekend?? the C63

***Quick pics of the interior
IS-F interior is more easy to get around in. Silver C/F panels here and there Gauges are sick. Just better for daily IMO




C63 Marble looking panels in the 2nd pic (brightened it on purpose) just like the F they're here and there. Gauge is also sick. Steering column controls kinda confusing if you're used to the F/import car style.




Both cars have paddle shifters and the tip-tronic shifters. They're both kinda slow They both have lots and lost of leather. The C63 feels better for me.
