Looks like the same black ISF you see on YouTube running I/H/E mods plus 175 shot of NOS . There are videos of this black ISF running neck and neck with a GTR

What can I say? The GTR should have won, but having a faster car does not mean you are a faster driver.

GTR didn't use LC... but I can tell you a bolted ISF vs a stock 09-11 GTR on a roll the ISF can take it.

Then you get an engine similar to the VQ in the G37 in a heavy AWD car, which doesn't sound fun.

I'm with you. I have a friend with a '09 335i that constantly berates Lexus; meanwhile his turbos and HPFP have failed on him twice already. I don't have anything against BMW though...

Honestly the only BMW I would buy is a(n) E60 and/or F10 M5. I'm not a fan of Beemer, everybody has one because they depreciate faster than rocks...

You are comparing econo box's(other than the GTR) to Lexus, of course they lack refinement. lol The GTR isn't meant to be refined. And to some degree over-refinement is what is killing modern day sports cars(and supercars).

But many people on here don't know that as they have never owned anything fast, nor a real sports car.

The ISF has depreciated at a fairly similar rate as the e9x M3.

These drags are kind of silly after a while. The turns are more exciting.

s2000 is more fun and more raw at the limit

My bad I should have clarified I meant "regular" BMWs. The M cars actually tend depreciate at a slightly lesser than the non-M BMW's. Same goes for Benz and AMG, over time it's something I noticed over time. It might have something to do with smaller production numbers and limited availability, not sure though don't take my word. Lexus still depreciates at a lower rate than M and AMG, and F depreciates slower than all Lexi except for the LX570 because of the outside of US demand. I mean most cars are depreciating assets anyway so obviously we aren't buying these cars as investments but I guess its cool/good know...
