Did any you boys with a GT3 RS happen to come across a IS-F within the last week? I have a link below with a pic of the IS-F...wondering if anyone raced one.

I am pretty sure as quick as the IS-F is, the GT3 would still eat it.

 

IS-F cannot be compared to a GT3. A better comparison would be with the RS4, M3, or C63.

Well said

 

I'm venturing a guess that he's not trying to compare them (it's obvious they are different types of cars entirely)

but he probably knows someone who has an is-f who claimed to have raced an rs.

 

IS-F is not going to be able to do sub 9 second 0-100 like a GT3 plain and simple. And handling...do I need to say more?

 

I think 0-60 for IS-F is 4.9 sec. Even in a straight line it will not be able to catch up to a GT3/RS at any speeds. However, a stock or slightly modded C63 may be able to better a GT3/RS in certain speed ranges in a straight line. A recent magazine test showed 0-60 of 3.9sec for the C63.

 

And how important is 0-60 speed?

Maybe I'm not understanding what you are saying, you keep comparing small four door sedans on steroids with a stripped out lightweight sports car. Just because they may do 0-60 doesn't make them remotely similar enough to compare. You first said that the two types of cars aren't for comparison, I agree with you, now you compare them? riight.

A ford turbo diesel truck can do 0-60 in less than 5 seconds, should that be compared to a gt3?

 

Exactly. I personally konw the GT3 RS will smoke the IS-F...but there is a lil person who claimed his test-car IS-F beat a GT3 RS on the streets up to 130mph last week. IThis person being from a magazine i called him out on it and i have yet to hear anything...i asked for the color/location of the GT3....still waiting. I think even if it happend the GT3 RS owner was not racing the IS, or he mis-shifted.

 

Yes, in fact I plan to cross shop them when I purchase my next toy.

 

Thank you, I love internet guys who see porsche and anything else in a post and immediately fire off a totally irrelevant reply, which was the point of my first reply.

Reading actual context, the internet has made it a lost skill. a shame really.

 

 

It's a lil obvious from my first post i was ASKING if any OWNERS of the GT3 have raced a IS-F....i guess people though i was asking what WOULD happen IF.....

I don't think this race happend, becuase we all konw what would happen if a GT3 RS raced a IS-Fugly.

 

Its not even on sale yet... wtf.
