Damn really? Fantastic. I’ve been itching for a switch but not a fan of the RCF even though they can be had in the 35-41k range easily. Another few seasons and once they hit low 40's I’ll snag one. 

The only thing is it’s a bit small in the front and back, and the ride is harsh on the early models which can easily be fixed with coils. I posted the GSF which is still in his budget, just as quick, and a much nicer and bigger car overall. I love my ISF, but I’m only married with a dog lol. 

Lexus GSF. New they are overpriced, but a lightly used 16-17 for $55-60k offers the latest tech, huge space, and one of the best NA V8's left on sale today. The car is comfortable and cheap to maintain, and if it’s reliable like the ISF it will get you to 200k easy. Hell, I redline my 08 ISF every day and it loves it.…

Jesus christ man, of all the cars I’ve owned/flipped and the miles I drive(20-30k a year) I haven’t had to do even half as many repairs in my 12 years of driving. But I’ve only had one german car lol. 

My experience has been positive with first year cars. Both my 2008 ISF and 2008 G37 Coupe had zero issues that weren’t present on much newer but same body style/engine etc cars. 

From about 1999-2009 I have brochures from as many makers and models as I could find both from auto shows and from requesting information online. I even have one that was sent to me overseas from Bentley that I recall eating Marie Calendars chicken pot pie and reading time after time. I considered selling them to some…

The Quad are out of my price range, I think low 60's was what I saw lowest. The cheap models are gorgeous but too slow for me.

Same can be said for most any FI car. Q50RS, 335i, ATSV, S4, etc. Now put $10k in an F80 M3 and see what that gets you.

There have been some rumors and photos posted for a 2020 ISF, but nothing concrete yet and most designs are ugly. Nearly all the rumors point to a massaged V6TT like the one in the LS500 which is exciting.

I sure hope so. It makes no sense to me to have all these humongous(compared to their 10-15 year old counterparts) SUV’s that still have the same 5k tow rating like the Explorer/4Runner. The Durango can do 6,200 in V6, 7,400 in the popular hemi trim, and a pretty up there 8,700 lbs in SRT trim. 

If you’re paying $1k a month for a car, I feel like you need to prioritize better.

People finance cars out of warranty all of the time. Not sure why this is surprising. Buyer just needs to make sure they can afford any repairs if needed, but most cars with 100k are still reliable enough to hit 175k if not more, just need to be properly maintained. 

The kit is actually up to 650whp with slightly more mods. Sadly there’s not many companies out there building for the F platform so cost is high.

I think you may mean 640whp, there’s already a 725whp ISF RR made/races. A local guy near me made 640whp on his RCF with RR’s kit. Perhaps this GSF is more conservative though. Either way, makes my 390whp ISF seem like a Camry!

It’s as if looks are subjective. No it doesn’t look as great as the concept, but it’s still much cleaner looking than the C7, new Z4, and M2...IMO. Personally that white up top is the best I’ve seen yet, I’ve gone from liking the car to loving it and wanting to place an order this summer. My ISF is getting a little…

Lighter with an emphasis on handling. Not on every corner like most pony cars/c7. Big aftermarket with FI, more horsepower costs much less too. Just look at the power $5k will get you on an SS/5.0/RCF compared to on a Q60/M4/ATSV.

I understand what awd is lol. There’s plenty of cars with more power putting it down to two wheels faster than a mid 12 second run. Besides, 0-60 is for magazines, the quarter and directness of the motor and chassis is what will sell.

I have seen nearly every article mention it’s the same exact m340i motor, with turbos. Why in the hell would they offer no turbos? 

Thanks for the quotes but I know what I referenced. You’re tell me a lighter coupe with a huge aftermarket won’t be welcomed? Shave a few hundred more pounds and add a fatter tire, done. 

I see maybe one Lotus a month in my area, while plenty of other performance cars like the Shelby, GTR, Zl1 etc are rampant.
