Awesome to see your F hang right next to the R8... R8 owner probably was punching air after the race lol

 

No, he actually admired the ISF. He said he wants one now lol. Very cool and humble guy. We talked about the race when we pulled off the highway at a gas station. We were all shocked at how dead even we were.

 

Was a very spur of the moment encounter. The camera car and all the cars involved were not prepared. No other camera avaliable. Not sure if you have ever driven freeway speeds, tired to hold straight and held a camera with the other hand. It aint easy. There was a good amount of traffic that morning also. Next time I'll tighten them skills and we should have multi angles.

 

Just a fair warning, I personally know someone being prosecuted for online videos. His Lambo isn’t so cool now that he has no license and is facing criminal charges. He tried the “made in Mexico” thing… didn’t work.

 

Agreed...license plate AND freeway sign clearly visible. I would take it down and at least blur that and re-upload it.

 

Granted, this guy was bragging it up doing over 200… so different ish…

Cool guy. He has worked on a K20 civic I had. Has a local shop with good reviews.

Sorry to off topic though. I’m personally impressed with ISFPowered’s stories of what the car can do. I would have never thought.

 

Thank you! That’s why I post to show everyone what the ISF in NA form is truly capable off. Our quarter mile times don’t do the car justice. Launching off idle will never give a car it’s best trap speeds or time. We also don’t have launch control like most of these other cars.

 

Rented a 2014 R8 V10 in LA this past March. Car is no joke, so this is an impressive run!

 

The R8 is actually between 3,800 - 3,900 lbs, depending on trim/options for 2012. So weight-wise, you were fairly close, with the ISF probably lighter.

 

Especially his ISF. All the weight reduction mods add up.

 

I still have the sunroof delete, bucket seats and possibly CF hood and trunk. That will be the extent of my weight reduction. Been thinking if I would even notice a difference going from 19” rims to 18’s. My 19’s weigh 19 pounds each.

 

I noticed afterwards. When I looked it up it told me 3362-3990. I assumed he had the lighter spec since he said about 3300 for his R8.

 

Speaking of weight reduction, what do you do if you get a flat? I chickened out and threw my spare back in the car. Your so low that a tow truck would likely tear your bumpers up.

 

Ive had the car for 6 years and never had a flat up until recently. The flat I got was from someone purposely flattening my tire but I fixed that without even taking my wheel off the car. Aside from that I’ve never got a flat from a nail, etc from driving so I just see it as I’ll deal with it if it ever happens. I’ve even taken trips from NorCal to SoCal and driven around SoCal and back up to NorCal with my ISF no problem. I see it as how often do you really use your spare? I’ve never used or needed one in any of my cars so I figured why not toss it for weight reduction. I also would need a tow truck that can handle lowered cars.

 

GS F has no spare. They give you a bottle of slime and a 12vdc powered single use inflator for flat service. Obviously a serious failure (sidewall) won't be covered by this, but it's good enough for many situations, and it's more and more common where it is permitted. Some localities require a spare tire too. New Jersey comes to mind immediately - state law.
