I got back in to my ISF with it's rumbling exhaust and beautiful interior and said to myself "you know what, I think I like this more."

Yeah the ISF isn't as fast and it doesn't have as much of a wow factor as the GTR. But... in the end, the ISF is pretty darn cool. Especially a modded one. The GTR had a nissan-like (not infiniti) interior and was really buzzy and quiet compared to my ISF.

I also noticed that a lot of the GTR owners on here were the only ones saying to really think over the choice. I may still end up getting a GTR one day, I just don't have the hard on for it that I had when it first came out and was out of my reach of owning one.

Well Put! Both cars are amazing in their own right, but are a little more different than I think many people realize.

Fapout... You're correct... they are completely different cars... the F is extremely refined, and wonderful at everything! You really have to 'love machinery' to drive the GTR daily... it makes 'race car' like noises... that I've grown to love and appreciate... but the F does so much, while isolating those 'quirks' extremely well.

I would bet 'length of ownership' is longer for IS-F owners... than GT-R owners...

I'm really happy with the new toy... and I can honestly tell you the 'only' pet peeve I had with my IS-F... was that you couldn't 'turn off' traction control while 'driving'... that you had to physically make a complete stop to disable... was the ONLY lame thing I felt... now truth be told... it probably calmed me down... as I truly enjoyed drifting corners 'frequently' in my M3 & M5... but the F... you had to make that decision practically upon 'start up'... and I didn't like the lights on the dash on the whole time...

Enjoy the F! I (And My Wife) miss ours too! But I love the power, and handling/grip of the GTR.

Peace!
