Default ISF and LC500 at Knockhill race track Scotland

Nice video, both look as capable as each other.

Nice video! thanks for sharing. After watching that, It makes me scratch my head even more as to why someone would spend $100K on that car.....

I love my ISF, you cant compare these 2 cars the LC is not a race car but if you want to stand out I a crowd LC all the way. And in the land of OZ they are $200000 ridiculous so I'm keeping my ISF

Why are folks looking at the LC500 in this guise?! It’s bloody huge! Weighs loads, not a track car in any way shape or form?!?! Sure, you can make it one with a big enough budget, but that wasn’t the intention.......

Top Gear over here pitched the latest Honda Civic Type R against an LC500 on a track in Japan, and the little Civic won! In fairness to the Lex, circuit they chose was tight with loads of twists and turns, so deck was stacked against it given it’s a big car! I wasn’t impressed personally. Test drove the 5L version at its U.K. launch, but not my bag. If they wanted to do a proper LCF, then I might be interested.....

Still think the IS-F has the edge, lighter, more subtle, cheaper to buy being older......

Yeah I wouldn't use current top gear as a point of reference to reflect how ****ty the LC was against the Type R, specially when that LC was pretty much show boating in every corner drifting away; I don't believe it. Not to take away from the Type R which in reality it's an absolute beast.

I agree with everything else you said in regards of comparison with the IS
