Old But Fast: IS F Battles E90 BMW M3

bmw vs lexus drag

Everyone is still pouring over details about the RC F and the M4. It seems that it doesn’t matter how many comparison videos are posted or how many pieces are written, nobody can get enough of that rivalry. But what about the previous battle between Japan and Germany that was the IS F and the E90 M3? How quickly we forget the heroes of the past.

Well, let me remind you that there are still rabid fans of both of these previous class kings, and they can still be found at road courses and drag strips around the world. In fact, we just happen to have one such video right here, for the pleasure of your eyeballs. A black IS F lines up next to a silver E90 M3. V8 versus V8 in a Shift S3ctor sanctioned battle at the airstrip. From what I can tell, the M3 in this video is a DCT model, so this is as fair a fight as you could hope for. Now press play and see who manages to take the win.
