For me it's either the IS-F or M3. Both cars are highly based on their base models and i am not a fan of the current 3 series BMWs (plain and cheap looking). The IS-F is a sedan which if i want a sports car look i would say nay to it (coups is the choice for sports cars).

At the end of the day, i would choise the M3 simply because it's sportier and has the pedigree that no other performance sports cars have (or the affordable side of the scale).

Your con on the S5 Is just for straight line acceleration. You must remember, that Audi builds their cars for the track, not just for 0-60.

I have diven Audi's for the last six years and if it were not for the dealership in Las Vegas, I would have bought another. The problem here is that most audi's (IMO) will end up in the shop and I did not want to deal with that. Personally, I would wait until the S5 is out a year. If you want pure sport and luxury get the M3. Don't get me wrong, I love my IS 350...and nothing against the IS-F, but everything that I have read points to BMW for overall performance.

Go with the s5, or the bimmer. I think you'll be making a mistake with the IS-F.

The IS-F looks the best - but the M3 would be better overall. The Audi is ugly with that big grill on the front.

you need a bicycle, I dont think that if you have totalled a 350 that you need a faster car. Especially at our age man. I'm 18 but still know how to drive responsibly, you should too.

and personally I would neverget the Is-F or the S5, I would go for the M3. I think the Is-F is really ugly, I like quad exhaust but not how it goes vertical and thefront bumper is hidious IMO, and I think seeing that no magazines or anybody (even Audi) has even mentioned the new A5 or S5 then its probally nothing to brag about. I didnt know about the S5 till I went on their website and thought I wasseeing things lol.

There's a thread that was moved out of the ISx50 forum with a video of a Dodge 4x4 Diesel truck runnin a 12.4x @109.

Some aftermarket upgrades, but I say do that....

Have your cake and eat it too!!!!
