We genuinely enjoyed you being a socal ISF member.. Very enthusiastic and jolly.. Definitely keep coming out.
You still owe me for buying that tune from Rafi at the F meet.. Don't sell the F and we're good! :P

OK. I'll be the butthead in this thread.
This car is nothing even remotely like the ISF. Two doors. No back seat worth mentioning (and that's saying a lot because we just bought a GSF because the ISF's back seat is not all that), and really, a GT4 will give it serious pain at the track. So, what need does this car fulfill? It's not at all utilitarian, it surely does not do what the ISF does because it is too small, and my Supra with hp upgrades would make it appear slow. So, you bought a two door German car with a racing heritage to replace a four door sedan? Good on you, but it's not the ISF, not a competitor to the ISF, nor will it ever be capable of doing what the ISF does daily - take you and three other adults from the airport with luggage to a destination a reasonable distance away.
Congrats for buying something you wanted, but I'm not among the impressed, and it surely isn't because I can't buy one, it's because I don't want one. GT3 with PDK or nothing.

Nice car but I have to side with lobux on this one!
Performance wise, it's slightly better than the IS-F but not by a large margin. Price e to performance isn't even comparable between the 2! On the space part, quite obvious the F has more space, but highly doubt you need the space if you have other vehicles and the fact that you're offing the F for a 2 door.
Lastly, 'most' Porsche cars are hard to distinguish from another for someone who doesn't study each model to know the difference. For the most part, the $100k one looks like the $40k one, etc etc.
Just a question because I'm curious, lol, but why didn't you go with the Turbo S...or the GT4?
Enjoy the new car though!!! I'm sure you're one of the very few in your area with that '17 model!

Thanks! According to Lobux and others, it is hardly better than an ISF😂. Yeah, ok😂. I'm looking forward to seeing an ISF go 0-60 in 2.9 seconds! I've got a few other 4 door cars, so a 2 passenger car is just fine with me. I know he's got a highly modded 20+ year old Supra. I love Supras. I used to have one!

I visit Norcal, San Jose area quite often for work my company told me they would move me out there. It's pretty tough there with the laws and stuff but at the same time I did see a good amount of modded cars too so it may not be that bad. No way I would have Supra out there registered in CA though. Full Bolt on R35 GTR is what I would do if I moved there and didn't have Supra.
