The other car is a 580hp 997TT (modded). The ISF is my daily driver and it is a more luxurious drive with 4 doors. The TT is a beast, but I have yet to open up the ISF, so more reviews to follow....

now you can let us all know which one is more fun - the p-car or the is-f.
I miss the LS. It was a great car to relax in after a hard day at work, but it was not me.

I have not opened up the IS-F, but my guess will be the P-car as it has more power and is lighter, the tag says it all.....

The badge does appear to be different..

Is it due to the picture angle or some other camera reason maybe?

It is backwards. Good observation. I could not find my camera, so I took the pic with my MacBook. I must have had the mirror option on

Just curious, are your exhaust attached on the Porsche? I don't want to start another one of the you know what threads, just wondering.

^^ The tips are attached to the exhaust.... but not the bumper....

A bit ironic that you have your IS-F right next to the Porsche..

Where the tips are attached to the bumper and not the exhaust...

For the record I like both designs...
