Are you happy or disappointed with the IS-F numbers?
I personally am disappointed unless the C&D numbers are more accurate. This car has 116 more hp, costs almost 15 grand more, and has a 5.0 V8 and can barely beat a stock 335i. Even if the C&D numbers are more accurate, they're not that fast compared to a 335i with a procede chip. so for 13-14k more money you dont get much more. anyone else think the same?

everyone gets so into acceleration numbers...its easy to make a car go fast in a straight line... rather wait to see what it can do track wise rather than just drag strip wise...

Good poll but stupid comparison .

I am very upset with the numbers - especially the dyno #'s 333 at the wheels ? ? The M3 will def be the winner here - ya 20% loss but 333 is a shame, this was made evident by the 350 v. f drag race - its not that much faster . . .

that was a typo. i meant 12.7 vs 12.8
it looks like more than 3 cars from this shot, the IS-F slowed down at the end so they get much closer after this point, i think the IS-F is much faster than a IS 350 from the drag race and its not a slow car by any means. but compared to the 335i it doesn't seem that impressive.
i dont know where the people got the numbers for the M3, but if a 335i is putting up such numbers im guessing the real test numbers for M3 will be much better than people have been saying.

I'm very disappointed if the $60K base price is correct. The other numbers are about what I expected based on what I already knew about the car. I'm happy that the review of it's handling was favorable. I'm a little bit confused by the disparity in acceleration numbers obtained by the different reviewers. The Car and Driver numbers are better than I expected while the others are not as good. I suppose if you take the average, the numbers seem reasonable.
