From my research of is350 vs iSF is that the iS350 will run much quicker in a dig than the IsF. But once your on a roll that extra HP from IsF will definitely kick in. It takes more driving and speed to feel it. But statistically it's faster. If your down to upgrade to an IsF then go for it

I've driven both fairly extensively and considered it too. But IMHO, not different enough or enough of upgrade to be worth the bother. RCF more likely worth it to me.

Now once you get above ~100mph the IS-F is significantly faster, but hopefully you aren't doing that often on public roads.
IMO, the IS-F isn't worth the additional price over the IS350 as a daily driver, especially considering the gas mileage hit you take. But the ISF would make a better track car and it might depreciate less. Also if you are looking to add intake/headers/exhaust the IS-F will make a much greater amount of additional horsepower compared to the same mods on an IS350.

You'll get the opposite answer if you ask this in the ISF forum. Drive both. Decide for yourself.

It doesn't feel much different because it isn't.

I have the same question couple month ago but wish I got ISF. They look way better, and they don't make many of them. I think it will be collectible in the future.
IS-F all day if I have extra cash.
