You basically get a bigger car with the same drive-train that you're familiar with. You gain some weight, but you gain power.

Checkout the backseat and see what it's like. I have yet to see a GS-F at the Dealer or in person.

As others mentioned, checkout the CTS-V as well, always good to try new things. I agree with the previous poster, that car as MONSTER engine, it literally scared me at only 3,000 RPM's. Say your prayers!

The CTSV is an amazing bang for your buck kind of car. If I had to pick I would go with a Caddy. Cant believe I just said that but its true. They are far better than they used to be, the interiors are really nice, they are tunable, AND you dont need to give up those track days.

I was in traffic yesterday and saw a gorgeous Panammera and she said get one for the next car and I replied that I dont want to give up my track days. She said well when you get it out of your system. I was like, holy **** this is not going to get out of my system. I have beeen watching youtube videos on the CTSV since. If I needed an all in one kind of car and I needed more room I would consider one personally. The new one ( great used one in 4-5 years) in ISFing insane.....Mind blowing

I don't think I am getting rid of my IS-F, if anything, I will pay it off and get another car.

Definitely all nice cars, but I think the CTS-V would take it imo
