Sorry, but it's not all horsepower. I'd bet a lot of money a very stock GT3 will still hand you your butt on a road course. I've got a few laps in a 2004 as a passenger, and suffice it to say, there are few street legal tools as focused on getting around a track fast as the GT3.
I've read enough of your stuff to know you know a hell of a lot more than I do about this. 
Does anyone know if developers are working on making the F more competitive/track ready? I was reading up on the GT3, and the damn thing only weighs 3,051 lbs! Is that mainly attributed to the F being a 4-dr sedan and the GT3 being 2-dr coupe?
hughncali, I've experienced that same issue a couple of times. I'll stop the car and turn it off, or even put it in park and turn it off, and it still turns back on as soon as I begin trying to drift. Annoying, but I guess it is a safety thing so I deal with it.

Im pretty sure the video says ISF x GT3 not ISF vs GT3. lol
Dont want to start a off topic discussion but the GT3 is not particularly quick around a track. It is consistent, but for the price is nowhere near the quickness of its competitors as a dedicated sports car.

meh. Anyone who believes the GT3 wouldn't knock the IS F down and steal it's lunch money is kidding himself. Both are great cars, but the F is no match for the GT3.
I grew up with dirt short track racing. Drift doesn't do much for me. I've seen some incredibly skilled drivers actually racing while driving sideways, not just putting on a show for style points.

Press button once turns Off TRAC, only until you hit 30 mph or so, then Trac turns back on.
Pres button once and hold for 3 seconds Turns OFF TRAC & VSC...
It does NOT turn back on unless the button is hit again or the car is turned off and then back on..

This is sooo funny. A great video is posted with good audio and some nice effects. Then people immediately assume that this is a post about comparing the 2 cars. Where on earth did anyone come to the conclusion that this is what this video was about? I suggest people view the video before posting arguments about which car would kill who on the track. I guess that is what a forum is for. It seems people are eager to start arguments on forums these days. Ok, Ok I'm done. Happy holidays. (please don't let that start another rant topic).

Lemme see here, what does VS. mean? Oh, yeah VERSUS, which means a competition. So, I guess my reading comprehension is hurting me here...

Most on here know that the GT3 is a superior track weapon to the IS F as well as a host of other cars. I don't believe anything in that video or the original post says or suggests otherwise.
Enjoy it for what it is..........or don't.

I guess everyone missed the part about awd as none of the cars in the video have all wheel drive. A good driver can drift a 911, it just takes more skill. But I have never understood the appeal of drifting anyway, its the slowest way around a road course. If the wheels are spinning they are not putting power down.

HUH you for sure missed what this video was about. Its a promo about the wheels. BOTH CARS ARE RWD. Both can be "drifted" but the ISF probably is a bit easier to do
