I doubt the q50 will turn anyones heads, its just another newer sedan on the road where as car guys know the ISF is a special/rare car and tend to pay attention when they see one.

ISF> q50
I'm not saying which is better (I bought an ISF afterall). I was giving a more reliable alternative to the blown beamer. Again, I chose a reliable alternative to the M3.

The only downside to buying the Lexus is that Lexus is very proud of their parts and charge accordingly. Other than that my 2011 (#9017) has been an awesome car and is one helluva deal compared to nearly all other options. Sure, there’s faster cars but none of them check off all the boxes like the ISF IMO.

As someone with a Red Sport, yes it turns heads and is very quick, changing the crappy runflat tires make all the difference so no LSD is not too big an issue. I also want an ISF because I want a V8 and don't want to get a Mustang.

I hear ya on the V8 part. I'm biased to the Japanese brands and so never had a V8 car, I had to get the F before I go the turbo 6 route on my next vehicle. It gives me a nice incentive since they will have dropped a ton by then too.
