I think it could be, if not equal.

A maxed out 335 does 11.8 1/4 mile and will be faster than IS-F, and a 135 is slightly faster than that. If you have a 335 with a JB3 tune, full exhaust/downpipe, intake etc. it will beat a stock IS-F, RS4, or M3 (won't beat the C63, especially with a chip). But once the super sedans start modding, then they will have the edge.

I've yet to see anyone with a decently modded IS-F run against a really modded 135/335.

If a fully modded 135/335 is pulling 11.8x it will handle a stock C63 AMG pretty easily. Stock those are in the 12.3-12.5 range.

I mean thats a 3.5 twin turbo in a 2 door with a ECU tune and it was neck and neck with me. I mean...I dunno. All I do know is that race just speeded up my MOD process. I have been waiting for a decent intake to come out but F that...(no pun intended) I think Im just going to have to jump on the JoeZ exhaust ...I wanted something that would remove the tips but I cant wait any longer..I need more speed..At least to whoop 135s...
If you wanted a car that will take most things on the road then you have bought the wrong car.

Most of the 135 and 335 are not going to get into the low 12s without a lot of mods. Most of those cars hitting close to 400rwhp have race intercoolers, full exhaust, chip, race fuel, etc... Not only that, a lot of cars are having fuel pump issues, along with voided BMW warranties. That is a big reason I went with the ISF vs 335i.

Yes, a topped out 335 or 135 may be a faster than a stock ISF, but there is always gonna be someone faster. Just go buy some exhaust and an intake.
