I am probably going to be going from a 2002 A4 3.0 Quattro to an IS250. I figure they are comprable in power when you factor in the additional weight that the Quattro adds on the Audi. Anybody of thoughts on this? I don't want to get a car that is significantly slower thatn the one I already have. I think the 0-60 numbers on the A4 3.0 Quattro were around 7.6 or something. Is that comparable to the IS250? Thanks.

Are you talking about manual transmission or auto?? Using a ~3500 rpm launch, the manual transmission should be in the low 7s or I would not be surprised if it gets to high 6s and the auto should be in the high 7s or low 8s.

Auto for both...

you should be more than fine, although why not do a test drive? And tell us what you think!

I too have a 2002 A4 3.0(manual) and I took out an IS 250 AWD two days ago for a test drive. I was pleasantly surprised how much power the IS 250 had - didn't feel significantly different than my current A4 3.0. Most surprising was the tightness of the suspension - actually felt stiffer than my A4(which has the sport suspension). I think you'd be quite happy with the IS 250 - I don't know the exact performance numbers for the IS 250 but IIRC, the A4 3.0 manual was ~6.9-7.1
