We have talked offline but I'll just put this comment up here. No matter what car forum you visit, they have Elitist and haters of other car brands.. its just human nature. I have owned, Hondas, Toyotas, Nissans, Volvo, Saab, Sabaru's and most recently Lexus and all those forums I have been a part of, all have those people. I remember when the 5th Gen prelude came out ( 99 typeSH) and I purchased one brand new for 25K I was 22 ( i felt like the man lol). I had people in our car group that would look down on civic drivers, Teg drivers, and said the Type R wasn't all that... and some even said the new Lexus Is300 ( when they came out) were slower than the 5th gen prelude and looked ugly.. lol..


I was 38 when I purchased the ISF, some of you guys had a Lexus as your first car and much younger.. I always knew of Lexus but nothing they had really inspired me to consider them until the ISF came around. Do i care what 350-370Z guys say about the ISF, No, should you,.. No... get what you want and be happy..

I doubt anyone on this forum gives zero ****s what other car forum members feel about their cars,, as do those other car forum members.

We'll catch up more next weekend.

Im sure if I put in the OSG LSD, it would easily be my favorite mod. Would you agree?

I truly can't even be bothered to read through this entire thread, as the thread itself is actually what is boring, but my answer is the following, and what makes the ISF great:

The ISF is exactly as boring OR as fun, as you want it to be.

You can't say that about many cars.

Case closed!

I personally always admired the 350Z, I wanted one when I was finishing high school . I chose building an entertainment system at home and stuck with the Corolla. Once I laid eyes on the 2nd gen IS...that was it for me. You could only imagine what I thought when I saw an ISF. Call me biased but I simply Love our cars. Everything from the design, build quality, and the way it performs. There's a guy at work who has a red built Nizmo, he's making 400whp. He absolutely loves the ISF. In fact, most of the car guys if not all at my job love the ISF. Their only complaint is that it's too damn expensive. Which is understandable. This car sets the best example of the jekyll and hyde personalities at its best. The only thing boring is the driver behind the wheel. Yukihiko Yaguchi has expressed several times all the F cars are designed for beginner, intermediate, and expert drivers. Hand this man over your key fob and allow him to demonstrate what an F car can do! Who's boring now? The car or the driver?

Not trying to come across rude, it's just every time I catch up on the forum it's 50 percent your opinion and thoughts.
Lol! You nailed it with this!
Tro, who cares if another car is .2 seconds slower or faster in the 1/4 mile than the IS-F...who cares if another car is .2 seconds slower or faster 0-60 compared to the F, etc etc etc. Minimal differences. Get what YOU like, not what we like, or your brother likes, or your coworkers like, etc. You sound young (I know you said you were actually young) and doing OK to be considering an ISF, but relax, use the search feature and you'll read for weeks, maybe months, on cars the IS-F has been compared to already.

Please do. It annoys me to no end that all of you think I want a 370z.

If I could go back and edit the title of the thread it would be something like "LOL Z owners think ISF is boring"

That way you guys can get off my back about this. I've been ignoring the thread and waiting for it to close so I can stop hearing you guys say that. The Z is great, but I don't like them for me. I thought this would be somewhat funny for you guys, instead I get hate from people who fail to read carefully and jump to criticize me.

Good day
