Not a good comparison but nice video though. The IS-F has a rear passenger during the run while the M3 and C63 has only the driver.

heh...I think these cars are really neck in neck...so it really is up to preference....

@lpher

Thanx for sharing...nice test in an alternative way that is However...if there where only the two presenters in the IS-F during the hotlap...who's filming it? You can clearly see the camera is handheld...so from what i can tell the IS-F is actually FULL! Thats FOUR people...while the other two cars seems to have only one presenter and a cameraman at the time...

Good point! The first thing I thought when I viewed the video was the extra weight -- and the time diff was less than one second, an amount easily attributed to the extra reviewer (and camermen) in the car.

But IMHO even if the IS F was a second slower than the C63/M3 I would still buy it -- I Love It! -- not to mention I don't have to deal with crappy service, attitude, reliability issues and the higher payments in a Merc/BMW.

there were 2 people on the is - F when they tested. which means more weight, so of course the is - f got a slower time.

@lpher

Again..if there where only 2 people in the IS-F...the presenters...then please tell me whos doing the filming?
