Oh, and I vote IS-F....UNLESS you want AWD for bad winter weather (dunno what your winters are like in Nebraska).
The RC F is a pretty sick car but probably not the best for a daily driver. I believe that is the "replacement" for the IS F. A lot of the IS F drivers that do track on the weekends say the don't like the 8-speed transmission. It tends to stay in to high of a gear if you aren't manually shifting it. But I do love that quad-tip exhaust! lol

As for winter's in Nebraska it is give or take. I'm already starting to hear it is going to snow next week ... I/m thinking the AWD would be fun in the snow. Worst case I could just take the FRS out to a parking lot and whip some donuts LOL.

Side note (wasn't going to say it) but I might put a small 7PSI supercharger on the IS350 in a year or two and use Vivid racing's new tuning. I think it'll sound sick LOL
