Default Sold ISF for Supra but got tired of waiting lol

So if you saw my previous post you know I sold my ISF with the idea of getting a Supra (bmw)I still have a deposit on one but may be canceling that shortly.

Picked this up Matte Nebula Gray/Carbon Package/TVD. Will soon be tracking it. My ISF was heavily modified but still interested to see how it compares track for track etc.

Lexus for life.

You definitely made the right choice, IMO. As the owner of five Supras (three MKIVs), there is no such thing as a 5th-generation Supra. There is, however, a re-skinned BMW masquerading as a Supra if that is the type of vehicle that floats your boat.

Yeah the BMW drive-train is kind of a let down. I already know what kind of abuse the Lexus drive-train can withstand for years with no issues at all from my previous ISF.

That chin spoiler looks amazing. I really need that for mine. Congrats. Looks stunning. Agreed on the powertrain as it is the highlight of the car. It loves to rev high and does it so smoothly and freely that I get worried sometimes it might be straining the engine without even receiving any warnings.

p.s. Noticed, though it is the newer anniversary edition, it has the 2015 exhaust tips?

Beautiful RC-F, the 2020 Supras aren't at dealers until June/July plus I wouldn't buy a first year either way as they will have to work out bugs etc....

Looks like Anniversary edition, but doesn't have the blue seats.

Did someone sell the seats on you before you bought it?

Congrats man! Like many, I loved what you did with your ISF. I can’t wait to see what you got in stored for this beauty. Please...as time goes by and you get more seat time with the platform. Gives us a comparison vs. the ISF. Pros & Cons. Thanks! Happy Motoring!

Thanks guys. Its hard to compare since my ISF was so modified towards the end of my ownership it not a fair comparison. I really love the RCF the technology has come a long way since 2008 lol. My first impressions are man this car is quiet and it does feel like a larger car if that makes sense.

Yesterday I stopped in at the local Toyota dealer to see the Supra in person. They said none would be in until August.

Glad to see your back in the Lexus fold (for a little while at least). Congrats on your new Rcf, will be looking for your posts in the appropriate forum.
