Are you refferring to the HP specs which there are about three threads about already? And the comparson won't be much closer than I think, for the simple fact that I have not told you how far off I think the IS-F will be.

Here's my theory.
As most of you know, the first batch of the prototype IS-F's interior showed a redline of 7000rpm in the tachometer. The production IS-F, however, now has a reduced redline of 6800rpm for reliability reasons. This means that the horsepower on the original prototype was roughly 423ps x 7000rpm / 6800rpm, which, as you may have guessed, is 435ps!!!

Pole Position
The M3 won't stand a chance, neither will the RS4 but that's not to say that the ISF will blow their doors off. Just like the C63 won't blow the doors off the ISF. All 3 will be very close.
This gives me a pretty good idea of how far off you think they will be. Let's just agree to disagree and wait for the official numbers and acceleration times by the mags, okay?
