Wow people, OP clearly stated comparison run and what mods he has. If he was trying to bag on the RCF he would show up modded, film the results and claim "stock". These requests happen all the time, usually to get a feel for how your car stacks up against another.
If the OP had a bone stock car and beat the RCF you could still blame it on the driver, road surface, weather, etc. dismiss the results and put your rose colored shades back on with a smile. Since the OP is "modded" you have a built in excuse so relax.

We already know the vehicles are closely matched in straight line performance, and two specific cars racing will not provide any further information that will clarify anything.
To me, the continual justification need of a few IS F owners is ridiculous.

I do not believe that your assessment of the OP's intention is correct.

As you just said, vehicles are closely matched so it's not about the cars anymore and is about driving ability. ISF vs M4 vs RCF vs M3 would be a helluva drivers race if all 4 are lined up.

Why do peoples panties get in such a bunch when someone compares the ISF and RCF? Just like with any new model introduction or update...people want to compare...and see how the old stacks up against the new.. Damn the magazine times.. Let's see real world performance and see just what the car does.. Especially during a roll race... Fellas it's not that serious ....

Like I said earlier, you've got the wrong idea. Razorthin1 is correct and pretty much explains it to the T. I'm being completely transparent with the entire process so that the race will provide the correct information. If I wanted to put down the RCF I would call out every owner knowing that my car at 90% will bus lengths. I'm not doing that here as I'm bringing out the car with as minimal mods as possible. I don't need justification for keeping my Isf, trust me.
Unless you have the same driver running each car, your "correct information" has no benefit to anyone.
Drag race?
Roll race? (I still don't understand the need for this one... kind of like drifting)
Road course?
Top speed?
What new information will you provide?

Why don't the speculators be quiet and let the guys run their cars?
If there is another "what are you trying to prove" or "you need to drive them to tell the difference" I'll kill the post. This thread is about running the two cars with full disclosure. Anything else does not belong here.
Got it?
No reviews - there is a thread already covering all that. No magazine or journalist comparisons - there are already threads for that. This is simple. Let's keep it that way.

as long as we know the mods....the comparative is still 'true', no? the results will compare a STOCK RC-F vs a MODDED IS-F.
im not sure why anyone would be against this. the IS-F guys get to know the value of their mods vs the new tech of the RC-F. the RC-F guys get a measuring stick of their stock vehicle and an idea of what the aftermarket mods will do, once they arrive.
remove feelings and egos from this and have some fun....

My RC F arrives today, but I'm not picking it up until Tues..car will be in Jax and I'm over in Destin. There's a possibility (good one) that I'll be headed for Tampa the 11th -13th. Being brand new I don't want to stomp on it too hard, but I'd like to do this. I can see BOTH sides of the argument here guys, but deep down we buy these cars because we are CAR guys. I have an insane Subaru I'd really like to see it against an IS F...just because I've never raced one. I also race with Chin Motorsports, so my RC F will be getting some track time in and I'll definitely be making some posts towards that arena. Relax folks, you buy an F because you're a car guy....![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
-Slay, if this will work for you just PM me and we can work out the details.
