Make....Model....MSRP....Weight....HP....TRQ....0-60
Lexus....ISF:....$57,435....3,527....416....371....4.6s
Benz....C63:....$57,175....3,649....451....443....4.3s
BMW....M3:....$58,675....3,726....414....295....4.7s
Audi....S5:....$52,225....4,067....354....325....4.9s
^So, just by the looks of this. Is the C63 the best Super Saloon out there? I mean, you're really getting your money's worth compared to the other cars.
For the same price as the ISF, you get 35 more HP and 72 lbs of more Torque!
Any thoughts?

I don't understand how the weight for the cars i wrote are wrong. I got the numbers from the actual website, so how is it still inaccurate? These companies won't lie to their potential customers, will they? I don't think so. So, how are the numbers I posted wrong?
Also, if the S5 is in the wrong category of these cars, then which Audi car would fit in the picture?
The times i wrote from the 0-60, are from the website also.

Sorry, how old are you? Sure, it's a free society and everything, but if you're openly admitting to having the intention of doing something that takes thousands of innocent lives every year, I think you have a serious problem. You don't deserve any of the cars you're considering buying.
And also bear in mind that when you have a car like this (the IS-F, C63, RS4, M3, etc.), there's no need to prove anything to the "punk who thinks he has a faster car". There are very few cars in stock form that are faster than these, so basically there's nothing to prove.

And to the OP, there is no Audi currently in production that competes directly with the IS-F, C63, and M3 sedan (saloon). The nearest one would have been the RS4, which is no longer in production.

There are enough threads where this has been discussed at length.
First of all, who buys a base model in these vehicles?
Let's talk about fully loaded or comparably optioned and the "value" that you talk about isn't close. Second of all, get some actual seat time in these cars and decide what's best for yourself. Most of us owners actually looked at all of the cars mentioned and made our decisions. Each has it's strengths and weaknesses.
Most of us will agree that they are all great cars and we're lucky to own them. Who gives a rat's azz what somebody else thinks is the "best" car?

Sounds like the OP just wants straight line fast, to smoke the ricers. Also sounds foolish, like "king of the ricers"- glad i live on the opposite coast! I say get the Benz- it is wicked fast, and i will never have to acknowledge one more idiot street racer driving an F!
Anyone shopping for cars using manufacturer's numbers is sad. If you want to beat the ricers, go get a GTR. It will kill them all. Why waste your time and money with four doors?
Street racing? Dumb. Sounds like a Darwin Award contestant in good standing.
