I wonder if a modded RCF or GSF will beat the ISF times.... time will tell. Best at the moment is 1.55 seconds by a modded ISF.

They better. 7-8 years later and you can't top your older 'obsolete'[ISF] platform makes them look bad.

The ISF vs RCF comparison is a lost cause and a big waste of time. Considering BOTH cars are capped at I/H/E.
RCF owners(who are new to the Toyota/Lexus family) will soon realize there is nothing more they can do beyond I/H/E. IMO true mods are done within the engine or forced induction..something both cars will never be able to have. The crack proof ECM severally limits them compared to other competition. Image, the socalled competition that come stock with ~400hp can be modified to 5-600hp. So the only real competition for the ISF/RCF is now within the family that share the same engine. I find it funny how many argue headers, cats or no cats, etc... Both are so close that in the end when you throw in corners it will come down to driver and *****.

Lost cause my friend. How much boost is it running?..less than 8 I bet. Whats it putting down? Same **** with the supercharged ISF...wheres that now? Minimal gains considering it can only do very low boost since the stock ECU can't compensate and can't be tuned.
And just like the early Greddy supercharged ISF, it is just a novelty more than anything just to say 'they did it'.
The only real tuned 2URGSE are completely revamped. Meaning, deleted DI, complete stand alone, changed pistons, and different tranny. Which is basically what most here will never do, and what many would now categorize as 'unrelated'.
