IS-F versus Ferrari 430

Don't get me wrong - I love IS-F but I didn't find the video representative of.... actually anything.

F430 Scuderia is lightened version of exotic sports car weighting 1300kg and with 510hp.... I don't think it is great car and honestly I would take IS-F instead if I have to make choice between two.

IS-F is propped-up luxury saloon with 423hp and weighting 1700kg, great and "almost" practical car, but on track has no chances against even standard F430.

It is quite obvious that F430 driver is rookie and has no balls or is simply warming up... hard to say much about IS-F driver..

Anyway if that is video of 2 friends having fun on the track then yes... I appreciate it. But it is not representative of the cars as they are so far apart... maybe I am just boring person trying to find meaning in meaningless things, which are just meant for fun..

Even silver isn't 400kg lighter and 100hp more powerful...

reminds me of this

Is it supposed to be representative of anything................

Its a track day with a GT3, a 430 and an Is-f, I don't know anyone that goes to a track day with high end equipment to follow someone around, so the GT3 gets dropped after a lap and the Lexus chases the 430 for a couple of laps, was the guy in the 430 really trying??????? we don't know, was the guy in the isf trying?????? it would certainly appear so, in the end the Lexus passes the Ferrari, does it represent anything? Maybe it represents a light 510bhp car cant hold off a 420bhp car giving away 400kg with a better driver....................................

Who knows, it was posted as an entertaining piece of video.

[Linas.P]

Ok.. then it is just me always finding sad side of the things... 

Though Ferrari was braking in the straight and appears like the end of the game - 2 laps.

OK, we all know that the Silver ISF is the fastest variety. Stick that driving god @Big Rat behind the wheel and you've got a formidable weapon.

Balance that up with my driving abilities, and on average, Silver ones are no faster than others!!!

I bet silver IS-F can out do F430 even in reverse as long as we have @Big Rat behind the wheel.

@Linas.P Going backwards is a very important skill as with most things in life...... it's good to get yourself out of trouble just as quickly as you got into it 😂

He's not a driving god. He is THE driving god.

Mercedes F1 took ages to replace Rossberg. Apparently they were waiting on @Big Rat!!!!

You don't survive 2021 years without a bit of wear and tear. Could be double clutching...😁

He's got his own manufacturer, runs on cheap red wine, fantastic mpg. 



Free meeting with himself if you just send a text message, good deal.

@emjay82 That's very good not that the yanks pay much attention to phone use when driving even the cops

Must be OK to text on a bike 😁 

[Linas.P]

At least in UK it is ok to do almost anything on the bike... the reason why we don't have pictures of UK bikers texting is that they usually go too fast to be able to take picture of them:
