Default 2011 ISF S L O W Track Build

I have a 2012 which used to be the track car. Then supercharged it and decided it was too nice to track. So picked up a 2011 with 32k miles. Let the slow build begin.....

Thanks for sharing info. on your performance builds. Esp. love the pics of the Bride Stradias in your F, I have some Gias' in my Mr2 and recently picked up some bride brackets for the F. They look to allow more rear knee room when the back seat is reinstalled (moot point on a track car).

Is this a sunroof delete F like your 2012?

Great collection of cars, a few question it's interesting that you've chosen ISF twice as your track. In your opinion what makes ISF such great track car.

How would you compare ISF to RCF pros and cons of both. In your opinion which is better track car.

keep up great work always enjoy follow your builds.

Actually the third time
I just love the ISF. It fits like a glove (for me). It appeals to me to use a 4 door family car as a track car dominated by GT3s and Z06s.
I think the ISF is a better track car than the RCF. It is a little more raw and I can connect with it better. I am still trying to warm up to the RCF after two years. It's not bad, its a great car, but I prefer the ISF. I usually cruise in the RCF. In the ISF I am constantly breaking the speed limit and every on and off ramp is a turn at Sebring. I can outline the pros and cons of each car, but its the overall feel for me.
