GT3 must be in a cool down lap because the ISF shouldn't come close to passing it on the straight even with a bad driver.

Great video. So many here dont realize what they are actually driving because they dont do track days. On the street the F is just a bumpy IS350 . On the track its a beast . The driving was excellent but its just a driver who knows how to push. Get some track days in and you will be just as comfortable pushing the car. I am very comfortable pushing the limits of my F and because of that I really know when we think we are driving fast on the street its a total joke.

Thanks for sharing this video.

If you listen closely you can tell he was pushing it but when they entered the braking zone the F was along side of the 911 so the 911 driver did the courteous thing and allowed the F to pass. If its a best motoring video then it was probably Suchiya driving and they always give him the respect on the track. Not sure but it looks like a BM video

look at the torque curve of a 997.2 gt3. also look at the specs. ISF SHOULD come close to passing it on a straight. The GT3's biggest advantage is that it weighs 700 lbs less. It's neck and neck.

i was thinking this as well. both of them can't go into the corner next to each other.

And it's a JDM spec car so with bolt ons and a tune he could be making some good power.

Nice.

Don't underestimate the F when it comes to track work. Easy to forget that F stands for Fuji, and that is where a lot of the testing and development was done for these cars.

Can't wait to start using mine on some tracks here in the UK soon.

Will be almost as much fun as the odd looks and comments: "what the hell is that?!"

Not many drivers will be familiar with the F or what it's capable of.
