Have you considered trading the ISF for American muscle?
I am interested in a wide variety of vehicles and jump across car markets based on what I currently feel like driving. I love small/light sports cars, but I also love lots of raw power.
How many here have considered or are considering high horsepower American Muscle like the Mustang GT500, Camaro ZL1, and more specifically now the Challenger Hellcat or Charger Hellcat?
(I am personally tempted to get the Charger Hellcat, slap some super wide rubber on it, and call it a day.)

I've been thinking about a Charger Hellcat. There probably would be some tradeoffs in refinement and driveability compared to the ISF, but "most powerful production sedan ever" makes a pretty good counterargument.

^^ I get frustrated in traffic where I live with the F. Rarely is an opportunity to really open up without being dangerous or at least obnoxious to other drivers.
I do plan on keeping the F for at least another couple of years. What comes next, who knows? I like having an somewhat unusual car though, and although I don't see a lot of ZL1s, GT500s, and obviously no Hellcats, I can't step outside without coming across a dozen Camaros, Mustangs, Chargers and Challengers.

big american muscle has always been my first love, ever since i was little kid. i can thank steve mcqueen, road warrior, dukes of hazard, etc.
having said that, i've never owned one. the only american car i've had was a 79' buick regal my folks gave me in high school. i'm infatuated with the hell cat charger. but i'm just too chicken to give up the reliability of the lexus. i could give up refinement and even styling if i knew the reliability was there.

Sure I have.
Owned two GTOs (2004 and 2006).
Took a look at a ZL1, it was very impressive, but the interior sucks, the view from the inside to outside is horrid..felt like I was in the bottom of a well. Impressive cars though.
The GT500 is not a track car, and neither is the Hellcat.
There is more to a car than horsepower/torque.
If you think our IS-F is heavy..have fun with these guys.

U forgot to put the upcoming Shelby GT350 on ur list of choices. That is gonna be the American muscle car I'm most interested in seeing when it comes out. I'm in a bind cause after owning 2 IS-F cars it will be hard to get away from the reliability and quality of the Japanese muscle sedan. GTR and RC-F are out of my $50k car budget so not sure what is next for me. If someone were to give u $45k right now and say get any 4 door sedan u want, u could get a clean low mile 2011 F with headers and exhaust that will run 4 second 0-60 and 12 sec 1/4 mile times and be basically bulletproof reliable wise. What other car in that price range can say that?

I seriously believe everyone should own at least one rwd V8 american muscle car in their lifetime

I have also considered getting the new Z06, but I just can't justify having that as my only vehicle (I would have to sell the ISF and my truck to get one).
