Default hElP mE dEcidE mY oLD friEnds (is-f, s5, e92 m3)

Its bAlLLzZz alot of you should remember me. I totaled my is350 about almost 2 months ago now and wanted a truck very bad. I do not anymore because i decided i could just wait. That was a rush to get a new car and now im just relaxed an awaiting these 3 beatiful cars. So let me begin. I am stuck between the isf s5 and m3. I will list all my pros and cons below please add any if u feel necassary.. Thank you and please provide as much feedback as possible.

audi s5 358 hp 4.2v8 6 speed
PROS
- the styling of this car beats both in my opinion the lines are beatiful and the interior is beatiful
- the quattro is a great thing that both other cars dont have. not just for snow and such but for launches etc.
- no one is even tlaking about this car and i think it is going to be very rare
- audi s line cars are very reputable for handling and like many stated all 3 of these cars no one has test drove yet but i have to beleive this car will handle better then the isf
CONS
- 0-60 about 4.9 so this car is slower then both other cars
-Thats my only one im really leanign towards this Car=)

lexus is-f 400hp 5.0v8 auto(8speed)
PROS
- styling is nice i did have an is350 and the styling in improved upon for this model
- rear wheel drive always seems a little more fun to drive in some cases
-FAST FAST FAST if it doesnt beat both cars it definatly beats the audi... 0-60 my guess around 4.6 1/4 around 12.3 12.4
CONS
- the hood bulge
- handling (me and a friend had a 335 and the is350 just in those two cases the bimmer killed the lex soo i must derive off that)
-i honestly in my case do not know if i wanna go from a is350 too a is f just feels a little weird esp after totaling the is350

e92 m3 know its v8 unsure 4.2 over 400hp
PROS
-the styling is very aggresive and muscular
-always have fun behind the wheel of a bimmer
-FAst also very fast i am not following this car as the other 2 but i kno this car is going to be extremly fast anywhere u take it twistys corners just a fun fast car in general
CONS
-price!!! the previous m3 they wanted crazy amounts of money for and I kno this ones going to be even worse plus a waiting list
- everyone who wants to race will have an m3
-again price u will have no deals and such with this car
-lastly interior and this cars interior is just unparellel to the 2 other cars i am comparing with

Thank you and please gimme feedback
p.s. whats uPp everyone i havent been around for a while

what's up with the middle-school alternating caps? how old are you? lol

they're only making 1000 IS-F (is this still true?) so getting one will be limited. The M3 looks very tame compared to the E46 but still looks good. The S5 would be my choice, Audis are rare and that interior is just plain sexy!

Didn't you recently total an IS350? I recommend something very safe, and very slow....seriously. This isn't meant as a slam, but more as life advice. Wait on the fast cars until you're a more experienced driver, and over 25 so the insurance (or the horsepower) doesn't kill you.

You should probably test drive them all before you buy and you will know the car you want to get. they are all fast all have nice interiors and all cost a lot of money test drve and buy. by the way are you paying for this car? ur ony 19 damn im 19 too!

M3, that's what im going for next. Getting out of the japanese scene, don't like it too much. Currently, Audis are putting out very nice cars, I wouldn't mind getting one but definately not IS-F since I drive an IS now.

Viper sucks in corners! All it has is crap loads of power and that's still not good enough to go fast for that much HP!! Interior sucks...
