Definitely buying a stock IS-F. Modifying cars is a complete waste of money to everyone but yourself. At least a stock car performs to everyone's expectations, and is sellable later.

Yeah, Good points TobiasSing. If the 350 and/or isf were available in a manual, that would be my plan without hesitation...but I do miss shifting gears...

Then yeah I'd pay for whatever manual car you can find. And then go/build from there. Costs just add up fast on these cars!
