I just traded my 2011 Starfire pearl IS-F for a new GT-R and it was an excellent car. It handled extremely well and the ride wasn't very stiff at all. I loved the huge center tach and the comfortable seats, but what I liked most was the sound! The secondary intake opens at 3600 rpm and is pure sex. The reliability has been perfect and my only complaint with the car is the lack of space in the interior. It really should've been a coupe. Honestly, if I could keep it AND the GT-R, I would.

It handles a LOT better than I expected and honestly, I trust his car to out maneuver my car. The major difference if one of us has 4 seats, one has 2...

Yeahhhh... the ISF feels WAYYYYY more planted, the first time i took a freeway onramp at... 130mph, (lets say it was a closed course) I couldn't stop laughing at the grip the car has, I take my 370 around it at 80-90 and my holes start to pucker up like the car will slide and I will die... LOL!!!

Who the **** do you people hang out with? I have read a few "My friend owns one". Wanna know what my friends own? cars under $10,000 lol. An isf is something we go to the auto shows just to see...

On a sidenote. Who wants to be my friend? I need your connections. Oh btw SpeedElement, I am a great friend to have :tup:

Have you taken either car to an actual road course?

A decent-at-best handling car that feels planted because it is fat. Straight line performance is good (shocker...), sounds great, but seriously...65k for that? I can make a novel practically, of cars I'd prefer to own than the most beige GT car out there lol. M3 and CTS-V being right at the top.

No road course
 
I haven't taken it on a road course, and I don't think either of us (me or my brother) ever will... (We do drive the living sh*# out of both of our cars though). We both agree that his car is faster, feels WAYYYYYY more planted to the road. But the 370 is kinda fun to **** around with.
The Lexus's ride quality SUCKS, I mean you feel it when you run over an ANT, and the 370 is 15 times more comfortable to take on long drives, but the 370 is also 15 times LOUDER, in the annoying road noise sort of way...

Biggest thing that anyone who has driven both our cars say is that my 370 drops its acceleration at 3rd gear, where the Lexus will pull in ANY gear, and YES, 8 is too many... We ALL agree on that too...

Used
 
Oh, and we got it 2 years used with 4,900 miles, for $40k... And it's not like you're going to have engine problems or ANY problems with that car... A used one on eBay goes for like $40k with 15k miles... And we actually bought it on eBay too, LOL

I raced a few put them to shame and in a Saturn sky redline to boot at 18 lbs of boost the F was neck and neck at 24 lbs I put a hurt on them bad. Switch to E85 tune and I could smoke one like it was standing still. I kinda miss the car now.

Thread necro'ing...

I recently bought a 2011 ISF and here's my comparison with my the 370Z touring sport:

Handling/Suspension: ISF
Comfort: ISF
Practicality: ISF
Acceleration: Same
Fun: Z

Overall the cars feel totally different so it's hard to compare. I use the ISF for daily driving, running errands, etc. and the Z for driving around for fun, the ISF handles better than the Z but I feel less connected with the road

Used IS-F's are still going for $30-40k with 80k on them.

If they were cheaper, Id probably give up the 370z for one of them. I think they are sexy/fast/luxurious and I like 4 doors!

If you get one try to get a 2011+, the suspension feels a lot better. I test drove a 2008 and didn't like it at all
