  1. I have stepped out and walked away a good distance with the key in my pocket and left the car for a couple minutes at a time running...Less then 5min max. As for HOW LONG til it shuts off, "IF IT SHUTS OFF?"? Idk.. and as for someone being able to drive away... Get yourself a assistant... Start the car (or have the assistant play the driver with possession of the key...) then have them leave the vehicle a good distance as you play the "Theif" and enter the car to make your attempt of driving off... Then see what happens... I am sure the car will, OR SHOULD turn off as part as a theift security device or option... Idk... Good Luck!
  2. fair enough... But my ending statement was based on PROFESSIONALS and T&R obviously DONE! to make such statement to the NATIONAL public... and to knock off the REINING CHAMPIONS Honda & Toyota... That impresses me alone!
  3. CUDLUK... U really need to check out FORD official website and check the test results vs LEXUS, BMW and ACURA Luxury cars compared... U are obviously a FORD hater and don't have any proof of your statements and only driven by your opinion and dedication to the manufacture you love and stand by... Which is fine... But FORD has put their $$$ where their mouth is.......... and THAT my friend does not get any more BLACK & WHITE then that. Apples to Oranges ~ Facts to Opinions ~ Night to Day in my book... I am obviously a FORD fan but most of all a CAR GUY AND CAR LOVER first off... When someone has it...The have it... Hats off... #1 FORD! and this is not the first time... Trucks have been doing it for DECADES!!! proven...
  4. after being here on this sight for approx 2weeks and reading all of these random issues here and there that seemed to be my 06 is250 is starting to have and random stages...(vsc check light, studder under gas or break, uneven head light adj, 1 sec valve ticking sound at start, small ticking sound under car continously...and more) Dropped my car off today...and in turn... They gave me a freaking HS250 Hybrid!!! :chairshot: But whatever......... Just fix my dang car!

  6. SMOOTH!!! Hey...what size wheels do u have....I am so loving the stance... and don't want no HUGE size to get the look...Dont want to DONK my Lex....LOL... I was looking into 18x8 & 18x9.5 or 10.... LMK... Looks freaking sexy!
  7. Interesting that you posted this today. I just got back from the dealer with my '08 IS250, on which they did the accelerator pedal/carpet/ECU recall. I had the same concerns, because I had heard that depressing the brake and accelerator hard at the same time, after the ECU flash, would shut off the car... so I asked for clarification. The service mgr. said that if the ECU 'sees' the accelerator and brake being depressed hard simultaneously, it simply ignores the gas, and allows the brake to do its job. It doesn't turn the car off, or even cut the fuel off. I would imagine that there is a bit more to it than that, but I'd also wager that there are more than a couple of certified Lexus mechanics that peruse this board as well. Maybe one will chime in for us. This is true...In a way... If the ECU sees or computes the brake and the gas being pressed...(which in the recent problem for the recall, thats what happens... Brake applied and gas automatically applied by error....) But when and after flashed and brake is applied and the gas pedal acknowledgemnt is ignored and motor shuts to IDLE... Not off or slow down...But motor immediately goes to IDLE... Just had mine done with my 1st oil change and ownership in the past 2 weeks of my IS...
  8. dang I am glad I looked here for this issue... I purchased a LEXUS for it known drivability, comfort and luxury performance...In short... Getting away from rumbling, all motor or supercharged rubber buring 500hp Mustangs... and I have owned my 06 IS250 for lil over 2 weeks... and Noticed this IMMEDIATELY!!! But thought to myself... Calm dowm... U r expecting to much and feeling and hearing things that are not there... "I am being to picky"...another words... well... NO! Its doing it DAILY! and even at starting the car I am hearing (in the past 2 days since my 1st oil change and service...Hmmmmmm...) some "Valve ticking" or ticking of some sort as soon as the car turns on and its fully powered under its own power...For the first 1 sec, I hear tic tic tic tic...Maybe 5-8 quick tics...Then it goes away and all is smooth... But this shuffle or bogging of the motor almost as if it loses power for 1 flat second does presently exist and has since day one I owned it...In the past 2 days I also rec'd a CHECK VSC light...called dealer and she said its the VEHICLE SLIDDING CONTROL...(TRACTION CONTROL is what normal people call it...LOL) She said next to the shifter there is a VSC button someone hit with a purse or accidently... Ummmmm IS250 doesn't have a VSC button near the shifter panel... I hung up and will be walking in tomorrow... The dealer I purchased this Lex from has a 30-60 day warranty and the LEXUS dealer covers this car under warranty in full! I bought this 06 IS250 Lex w/ ONLY.......drum roll.... 20k on the ODO... I will be dropping this car off at the LEXUS dealer this week and see how they squeel their way outta it... But at least I know what is already the BS they say and can be on my toes to reply.... :whistles:
  9. IMO seems u r a hard core LEX owner for quite some time... If You want FULL luxury that compares...Try the Tuarus SHO... Then scream lack of quality... But pls do not compare a focus with a ES, GS or even a IS... Apples and oranges and totally different classes... No disrespect... You are just not stating where you seem to NOT see their improvements or year mk and model as a example and compared to WHAT? For a example I am making... PONY cars... CAMARO was best...in speed ONLY! Mustang rt behind it with a lot less HP and smaller displacement... almost 1 sec or LESS begind...NOT BAD! vs the BIG SS version of Camaro and the regular 4.6 GT... ;) as for the rest......... Mustang was the best in all other fields and deemed as BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK... Not to mention they followed with a 300hp V6 Mustang version.... LOL But... at the end... ur opinion is valid... and mines also... CAR is what brings us all here in the first place... B)
  10. YAY!!! I knew they would with the way GM went and the HUGE improvements FORD has been doing thru the years and changing their styling.... I told someone this 2 years ago and they said YEAH WHATEVER! ... Boy should of put $$$ on it.... I happen to LOVE THE NEW TAURUS and the ammenities that come on that care compared to the more expensive ACURA TL, LEXUS,BMW and even Benz... U get a lot of car! The fusion has been top rank in its class, Focus has done well...and the RETURN of the 5.0 with the Coyote Motor.... I am loving it as a Ford fan....
  11. I feel ya... Its true... and so much money and wk for such lil HP# at a time.... :( But Mustang has always been my LOVE... and I will always BLEED BLUE...Before buying the LEX I actually went to go look at the 2010 Fusion Sports...and the TAURUS... But the TAURUS was way bast my budget for how I wanted it... "SHO" of course...LOL! But, I am loving the LEX and always like em...Just had a bad experience at the dealer (1st time visit) for a oil chg and courtesy wash and vac int... and car was FILTHY!!! I was *BLEEP*ed! and expect MORE from Lexus of Tampa who is known for quality and SO CALL "Persuit of Perfection"... But anywho...whatever...
  12. If my memory serves me good... I remember 60ft times where approx. 1.87ish on slipping MTDR's...Don't recall the 1000s... My gearing was 3.73 ford racing... Stroker kit was the EAGLE Stroker kit with forged internals and my MGT was diablo chipped and dyno tuned by RACE RELATED in Tampa, Fl. dude named Brian... RR is no longer but Brian is still doing his dam thing in the area with FORD SPEED in Clearwater/Largo area...and BTW... No cage... and I did get flagged and turned away when I ran the 11.80s as a warning and I can continue to make a few more runs ona T&T night but will not be allowed to return without a cage or compete...and finally...
