LOL, I wanted the ISF bc I've never owned a 4 door before and always wanted a 4second super-sedan. The concept of a 4 door car that fast is cool on its own.

I think FBO ISF vs a stock E60 you could pull him. But modded vs modded, ISF is back at a disadvantage. Those cars make the same power jump with headers and tune as we do

He was stock I'm guessing, didn't sound too loud with how an exhaust M5 really sounds. Only "mod" I have is no spare tire or tools in the trunk, 1/4 tank gas left and I am a small dude like >150 lbs
I usually touch 110 before I stop my races, too risky in VA for higher speeds. But like I said, I was about 1-2 cars ahead when we started at 35 mph and he was 1/2 car behind at 120 (and gaining)

No doubt, they are cool cars, crazy engine, I really dont know what they usually do with FBO, probably pretty similar to the ISF with the weight difference id imagine but should make more power, I simply couldnt buy/own one due to how unreliable and how stupid expensive repairs seem to be part of owning one lol

Gotcha, so you are stock with a few lbs removed. Sounds about right, 500hp and 4100 lbs vs 415 hp and 3800 lbs

Good race.

Personally, everything favors the ISF for me except for the manual option in this case. ATS-V has nothing going for me except for that manual option...don't like how it looks, don't like how it sounds, and definitely don't care for the CUE system -__-.

Respectable performance figures from Caddy, though. I'm sure those two snails can take advantage of a tuned mapping better than F cars can.

That very reason is why I didn't get one when I got the chance lol. I did myself no favors by getting its little brother in an E92 M3 because it had just as many issues. But yeah with bolt ons and tune those cars make a 40-50hp jump just like the ISF, but, that car already had a 85hp advantage. I saw a vid long time ago of a FBO ISF with a 100 shot running a modded M5 down but its an old old vid

Good race. That F sounds like FBO.

Very close race there, not sure why my buddies seemed to do so much worse, maybe just driver error on his part, starting in the wrong gear or something.

Either way, certainly proves a FBO F can take down a ATSV
