no it's not dumb because i'm assuming he meant solely speed. we are comparing relatively with price - including base price and mods. so at $75k ($60k F and $15 TT), you really can get a lighter weight, easier to mod to higher HP, resulting in a really fast car that would spank the ISF. jeez, to do this right, at the very least order a base without moonroof/nav/ML system to save weight, which is the main problem of this car, then throw on a TT.
and i am assuming you are looking at the whole package of the ISF, which would make that comment seem wrong. none of us are disagreeing that as a daily driver / wicked fast sedan this car is awesome. i think most of us aren't buying the BS that the TT ISF can run 10's. this car is just too heavy, so this person is a bad liar and thinks everyone is bad at physics, or he withholding pertinent information that would explain the alleged times.

I agree with you about it is better for us buying a actual sports car if ppl just care about fast straight times but ppl don't buy a IS-F for the 1/4 mile. The IS-F is more for ppl that want a fast comfortable daily driver. Also IMO I don't think the weight of the IS-F is the problem of this car getting fast times in the 1/4 mile. As you can see in my previous post on my friend's CLS55 which weighs almost another 700 lbs on top of the IS-F and it runs low 11's with around same amount of power as a TT ISF would have. I would assume it's our tranny that is the issue for us not running fast times in the 1/4 mile. Our tranny just can't handle the brute power down.

Actually the car is my wifes and no it doesn't run 10.8's. It does however run mid 11's all day. And no we didn't pay extra for no times we weren't even going to run the car but were asked by one of the event organizers to run his gtr and did. We've never "officially" timed the car but it does run down z06 vettes and 750gxsrs cannot pull away. My wife has put about 9k on the TT kit and not one problem except having to constantly fill the water/meth tank.

I think a supercharger for the F would be better. I don't think it was really made for forced induction. As much as I love turbo's cause trust me I do. I own two that are both modded a lot. I think its just a little too much air in there. What we F people need is a header (which one is being made right now) and some cam's. Aftermarket parts can always provide more power. It's possible to be pushing close to 500 at the wheels depending on the power to come from cam's. If we could get close to 500 at the wheels then there would be no use for forced induction IMO. If you want something with more power go buy a car that can fit a 2JZGTE or RB26DET. My SC has a crazy amount of mods done to it. The only thing orginial is the 5 speed transmission. And it was cheaper then my F to build.
