I drove them both before buying the IS-F.
The C6 feels a lot faster and weighs a lot less. However, it actually didn't feel as sharp as the IS-F, despite the limits being higher. It feels big, wide, etc.
The interiors aren't even comparable.
Transmissions are obviously different.

The big difference between the 2... is... you see corvettes EVERYWHERE U GO... on a typical day out for me... i would bet i see atleast 3-5 corvettes.. not necessarily a new one.. but one of them... get something different!

Honestly, I wish the IS-F had AWD and had about 2 x more HP. Wait.. it costs a million bucks? I guess the Bugatti is too expensive.

I totally hear what you're saying. I find myself feeling a bit unsatisfied sometimes. If I can get my hands on a GTR I may have to get one of those too lol.

I have had both, and now i drive the F.

The Vette is faster hands down, with the LS3 436HP @ 3200LB. I had a 07 that had the LS2 400HP, 400TQ, but those cars are very mod friendly. So after LT headers, hi flow cats and exhaust, CAI, and a conservative tune it was making 387 RWHP, and again at 500LB less than the F it was plenty fast. It just was not a practical DD for a HS teacher, attracted too much attention. So for now the F will do just fine, it is more comfortable, and blends in a much better. After owning the 350, and now the F, I am not sure if I will ever go back to the Vettes. It really is hard to beat the comfort and ease driving that a Lexus offers.
