Default wanna sell isf for a frs/brz..

So I've been wanting to trade up to a gtr and what not for a while but I don't want to make the payments on that since I'm barely making money as it is but I feel like I'm bored of the Isf... So i was thinking about selling the car and getting a supercharged brz or something fun.. any idea what would be as close as possible to having the fun factor of the is.. Don't want a mustang cause it sucks at handling.. I have a bmw with a turbo and stuff so not really headed in that route either.. should I just stick with the F?

Dont get a Boss 302! My uncle went through 3 transmissions in 3 track sessions. He actually only made it through 15 of the 20 min every time. Just so everyone does not say does he know how to drive a stick... yes he does! He is a certified porsche driving instructor.

Dang hes coming at you hard

But if I were you sell both the bmw and isf and get a GTR. I got to drive one by myself a week ago and it is freaking insane! Hands down the fastest thing I have ever driven. I looked it up after I drove it and you get a 2010 with 20k miles for around 60k

I would say... ask your parents how much they are willing to pay and go from there......LOL

BUT, if it were my money, I wouldn't even think about the BRZ. Yeah it's fun, yeah it's light... you'd have to dump a lot of cash into it to make it even keep up with the F. At that point you're compromising reliability. There's a famous BRZ on youtube that makes 400+ hp, even the guy who test drove it said it wasn't running 100% proper. Thank god I'm not bored of my F.....

the torque on those motors are badass, i don't think you'd have to push out 400+ hp to feel like a boss. But i think the BRZ is going to have an STI version next year. as well the newer ISF or RCF or whatever F that is will be coming out too. Have you considered maybe a new vette they are suppose to be revamped where you don't have to drift every where to get badass lap time. Though the GTR's are dropping in price, i know you can get a used one in the 60's, they are just expensive to maintain if your going to mod them.

brz's/frs are fun cars but your going to miss the power of the F when you dont have it. A supercharged frs at 8lbs of boost only throws down about 270 hp after just slapping on a sc. Still around a little over half the isf power. you can build a engine for it but your looking at maybe 2-3 months worth of engine work to even get in the close to the 400hp rage, at that point, your probably thinking, i just dropped 60 grand to get this car, I could have gotten a gtr

Keep the F for the time being. Maybe some other car will arrive that will perk your interest.
