all you guys don't get it twisted. RCF is a faster car than the ISF with equal drivers. this always happens when a new model car is out. when cars turn into 20 thousand dollar cars, it gets driven harder the age group of guys who buy it. RCF are usually driven by older men who start out in the wrong gear and RPM . i have yet to lose to an ISF and i have had both to compare .

Thats awesome that you lump all isf into used high mileage my2008 20k isf. I could’ve of easily purchased an rcf but my wife wanted a four door and didn’t want to finance a car or I’d be in a slightly used panamera GTS or RS7. I’m pretty certain that years from now my 2012 isf would be worth as much as a later year rcf. The isf is not all that and your rcf is not that much better but they’re damn reliable.

On paper it should be. The test results I've seen dont really make thst completely certain. 20k ISFs seem to rare high mile clapped out 08s lol but I see what you are saying. Driver error is huge. Rcf starts in 4th. Isf in 3rd from the same speef the Isf will pull I bet.

yes, trust me, i had my ISF for 4 years prior to my RCF so I've been around here awhile. ISF use to lose a lot as well or at least slower. just find your best quarter mile time of both cars and trap numbers and see who really is the faster. trust me , i love both cars but with these cars, its easy to start in the wrong gear because it still feels fast enough in the wrong gear but could make or break the outcome of the race.
And the RCF is by no means hard to afford, lol. $53k BRAND NEW off the lot on a $73k plus sticker tells you something....lol. quite sure no IS FINE sold brand new off the lot for anywhere near $53k. Hell we still have a few low mileage '14s going for $48-$50k!
But with all that said, I still like the RCF for what it is and by no means hating on it. I love all the F cars just gotta know what they're good and and what they aren't 😉

Cayman driver went 12.38@115 stock with a DR with his.
Even if you go based on the stock times posted by all the magazines
ISF Time Data Points for reference
Road & Track
1/4 Mile 12.8 @ 113.3 mph
Car & Driver
1/4 mile: 12.7 @114mph
Motor Tend
1/4 mile: 12.7@113.4mph
12.7-12.8@113-114 mph
RCF -
Edmunds 12.8@111
Mototrend 12.7@112
Motortrend 2 12.9@110
Car and drver 12.8@114
So im not sure how you can for sure say the RCF is faster when the data says otherwise...it actually seems like the ISF is faster based on the numbers it has slightly higher trap speeds.

Still have to disagree with you. As you should know, we have FBO ISF's hitting 11.9s in the 1/4. Supercharged RCFs can't even make it out the 12s....and I believe there may be ONE or maybe 2 rcfs that have put down decent numbers at the strip but that's few and far in between.
And the RCF is by no means hard to afford, lol. $53k BRAND NEW off the lot on a $73k plus sticker tells you something....lol. quite sure no IS FINE sold brand new off the lot for anywhere near $53k. Hell we still have a few low mileage '14s going for $48-$50k!

Dude F that (zing) I had a run in with an M5 V10. I was rolling at 35 in 3rd, maybe got a car or two ahead and heard him revup so I stomped the gas (sport mode already), car dropped into 2nd gear and took off. He couldn't catch up till 120 and I was still ahead by half a car. I left off and he just flew by after, did put flashers on for a sec whatever that means?

Any mods to your car?
Those V10 m5s run pretty good up top, would think a FBO F would pull away but stock for stock they wil pull a F
The flashers indicated "he won" lol

Pole Position
Means he got the win by his estimation because you let off the gas at a buck 20
