Congrats OP, especially since you were able to keep the ISF as a DD....Love the GTR but it's a shame they didn't make it in manual.

My ISF would always be kicking on around tight turns while the GTR just sticks and takes the turns with no issues or traction control kicking on.

I love the GTR it is just so fast!
Ive driven 15 models as well don't recall much since i was just moving it. but i know on the previous models id try to pull out of the gas station it would kick in. i haven't had traction control go off much on the isf. Only when i actually try to make it go off.

I haven't had a chance to run it at the track Doc. So I'm not sure, the guy I got it from spent the money to get all that done then 2 months later sold it to me. He didn't track it. It's crazy fast, like riding a roller coaster, lol.

In fact I never took the ISF to the track after I bumped up the Nitrous shot. Lol. It still needs drag radials

Anyone that wants a manual tranny might as well go get an antique car.

All the super car makers use DCT platforms because it is so fast, way faster than a human can shift gears.

Put a new auto against a manual and auto will win.

most guys argue that they want the emotional feel of a manual. im the opposite. i like results. i like the faster car. if i wanted a car for the feel of the transmission, i would of kept my old 350z.

Exactly you want an auto go get an old mustang or camaro

When you have a car like a GTR or GT3 last thing I want to worry about is shifting haha

Lol, I said nothing about what's faster. Obviously DCT's are faster than manual transmissions, nothing like rowing through gears & heel + toe

As always, not taking anything from the GTR, can't be beat for the $$$

You should take it (the ISF) up to Hallett next month! It's a good time! The only F I've ever seen there is mine... But if you really think you need to bring the new car, there's always someone available to give you a run for your money

Probably could do that, I would just have to take the Nitrous Bottle out of the back, i'm not sure that would pass Tech on a road course. Honestly I don't know how that works. I know a few people who race up there, I should go up there and have some fun
