I had a '13 ISF which had all the latest trimmings. I enjoyed it.

There is no comparison RCF is another class of vehicle. ISF is more basic.

I miss my ISF too, to be honest. The ISF feels light, and raw. Yes, these are the words we all use but you need to drive them back to back to understand why. In the ISF, if you wanted to oversteer and drift like a hoon, you could do it anytime, it was always willing to play and wag its tail. The RCF feels a lot more planted and to get it to do the same, you really need to "yob it in" and it just feels more strained. Even at the limit, the ISF could be balanced easily with practice (note that I did have a lot more drift sessions in the ISF) but in the RCF, I'm not sure if it's the weight, the chassis or less body roll, when you get it out of shape, it just doesn't quite feel as sorted at the limit.

When lap times come into play, I'm sure a novice would be faster in the RCF than the ISF due to all the aids and the more planted feel it has.

Interior-wise, the RCF wins hands down, the ISF's interior is more than a decade old and it shows.

Missing her...

Looking to pull the trigger on this soon. Just awaiting an email to see if they have it in stock. I've been lurking on videos. It looks like the sound is amazin ( for the cost )

As more miles pile on, the more I appreciate what the F team did to design and deliver this vehicle.

Here's an interesting discovery to me. Not sure if anyone else with the CF package noticed.
The underside of the RC F's carbon fiber wing is CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic)! Same material as the GS F's interior trim for the Canadian market.
