A track meet would be fun. I don't know how I feel about ruining my tires though racing some stock IS350's, besides Vik of course. Why don't you get your new M3 already and try to keep up. Although I think you might be a little disappointed with the M3 if you think the ISF isn't that fast. Haven't lost a race to my buddy's M3 yet from any speed. You can drive my ISF if you'd like to get a feel. And there won't be a salesman sitting in the back seat either. Till next time

^^ I would be more then happy with the M3 coupe...but I will probably end up with the RS4....I could get the S4 and fix it up or the 335i Coupe and be just as fast or even faster then both cars. I have had both in the past and enjoyed them. But I personally like how the euro cars drive. Its nothing against the ISF even it its slightly quicker then either. At this point its down to the driver and not the car

I dont track my car but I love to drive it on the road and I prefer the way they handle. I did get to drive the ISF at the event Lexus had. My car handled better IMO but I also lowered it and put $$ into it. Its a very nice car and Lexus did a great job hands down. I dont care for the rattles and few things on the interior but oh well I guess...

Thanks for the offer! Maybe next meet you can twist my arm and change my mind

Then you need to drive and I will sit on the backseat Go back to your dealer and tell then you are interested. I have been told they are not moving so quickly especially with the market as is. I was told the same on the other 2 cars so that grabbed my attn to get back into the Audi and get a great deal. I just fear that gas cost as it was 600+ () per month for gas in the S4...

I've driven the S5 pretty hard. Very fun to look at but somewhat of a disconnected feel as far as performance goes, but a great road presence and road feel. The RS5 will be a monster, just like the upcoming new RS4. Although the AWD felt so balanced throughout it really felt nice. I honestly would've bought the RS4 too if they weren't marked up so high still, and if they weren't changing the car in 2009. They are asking like 75-80k still for
RS4's where I looked.

335i's are nice but I don't know how I feel about retuning and voiding warranty and blowing up the car. I figure if you are going to spend the money to mod a 335, the M3 is the way to go. Sorry if I'm ranting. Let me know when to stop.

Not at all I am told, havent looked into it yet that you can get one heck of a deal on the RS4? I know a few families that own dealers so that helps me out also. I am in no rush what so ever so if they dont deal then I wont get it now and wait.

I haven't had the chance to drive the S5 yet but I am sure the RS5 is going to be a nice car

Will see I go threw cars like I do.... okay never mind
