Default The ISF is soo UNIQUE I LOVE it { Video}

Hi everyone! Last Saturday i took my ISF to a car event and of course i'm the only ISF at the meeting , and also there was one IS250. The good thing is most of the people at the event didn't know what the ISF is including the guy who created the event (One of the Mustang GT owners, Very nice guy), and the only one who knew the ISF was the IS250 owner. In this video i did some revving and got some compliments on the exhaust sound. Let me know what you think?
My Mods are RR Racing tuned intake, PPE Headers, Borla Cat-Back Exhaust, RR Racing Tune, RR Racing AOS.
Note: You can start watching the video @ 15.06. and Exhaust sound @ 17.44.

I'm kinda surprised these guys didn't know what an IS F is considering the car has been out since forever.

Well yes, but remember the TOTAL production of the ISF spanning from 2008 to 2014 is roughly 5000. To put that into perspective, just searching around quickly, from 2008 to 2014 there was roughly 7500 skyline GTR's on record being sold. Lets go with the Ford Mustang, in January 2019, just one month, 5,420 Ford Mustangs were sold in the US. How about the Honda Civic? In January 2019, again just one month, 21,553 Honda Civics were sold in the US.

So in terms of rare, the ISF is relatively rare for a production car.

There are 3 to 5 ISFs in Michigan, I personally saw 2 ISFs within the last three years in south Michigan. I think the ISF is more popular in CA, TX, and FL.

Cadillac ATSV Sedan - 2,419

Cadillac CTSV Coupe - ~6,000

Cadillac CTSV2 Sedan - ~8,000

Cadillac CTSV Wagon - ~1,200

Chevy SS - 12,953

Dodge Hellcat Charger - Not yet counted(they only release by year and some older threads the screenclips don’t show).Over 10k though.

Lexus IS-F - 5,118

Mercedes C63 Coupe and sedan W204 - unknown but estimated at 15k

Mitsubishi Evo 8 - 12,846

Yes, I know but in Michigan a lot of people don’t know what an ISF is, maybe in CA it’s more popular?
Cheers!

I love breaking necks with my 2008 being FBO + RR tuned. Little kids point at it wherever I go after hearing it and seeing her pull

There is allegedly another one in Indy, but I have never seen it. I am the sole one, and only heavily modded one. I love being rarer than exotics.
