Even though it's an old thread, just found this a lil funny, lol. I've personally had no problem with any Stang with I/H/E, regardless of year. 2 totally different cars. Atleast there were a few of them with some sense in the thread😂!

Lol @ the comments from the bozos in the tower.

I gave the same treatment to a 2010 Shelby GT500 2 runs in a row.

LMAO I passed a newer GT500 before the main straight and he couldnt pass me. Those manuals make the car sooooo slow. I have gone head to head down the .53 mile straight with a Boss 302 and it was 100% even .

Dunno, I've run into those GT500 on the highway and they're no joke in that venue. Difficulty keeping up from 8-130.

I love reading people talk about our cars. Even if the posts are old!

Threw this query together in a second just in case anyone else feels like I do. =)

I'm at the Nashville airport and bored enough, so I'm reading it.

The 370Z guys are actually quite fans of the car.

The best is the Bimmer forum, where BMW > Lexus no matter what. LOL

I think I already read the Audi link and posted about it, and the OP actually bought an ISF.

I will keep reading and see what other "great" things people have to say.

The SVT link is pretty good. Apparently the OP thought he put bus lengths on an ISF, but now someone challenged him to the possibility it was an IS-350 F sport......

It's interesting how much less fanboyism there is here and how much there is against the car elsewhere. There always seems to be at least one voice of reason that pops up on these other forums to say otherwise. And there's always one that'll vehemently deny the car anything. I love reading it. Such is the case when owning the underdog that you hardly see.

Ha-ha!! I wonder how much that really happens.... someone roasts an IS250/350 F sport and claims they beat an ISF?!?! I actually blame Lexus on that one😬!!

Very true, a rare car seems to always be the underdog, lol

I think it's actually gotten better as the years have gone by. I guess people are less offended when they see 8 speed gearboxes (yay MPG) and tips which aren't connected! You'd think enthusiasts would see past those things sooner, but progress is progress.
