If you want a beast of a car that's overall pretty low key then C63 all the way! Once the C63 is modded it's game over for the straights.
M3 is nice too, if modded with all the bolt-ons it will walk a stock C63 so it's still pretty fast although it won't feel fast like a C63 or an IS-F.

IS F, reliable (for the most part, I'm biased), good looking, powerful, great quality all around, aftermarket performance market suffers though.
C63 is a beast, sounds amazing, but the car is all engine engine engine.
RS5 is a sexy looking beast. I'm not sure about the quality of Audi interior...feels cheap to me. And I don't like their leather, but be ready to dish out some serious cash because the car is very exclusive as I think only 1500 examples will be imported to the US.
If I were you, I'd wait...
IS F will go under the knife in the next year or two years. The new M3 is a year or so away. The C63 will probably go under the knife soon as well, but the V8 will probably go away...so if you like that AMAZING sound and insane engine performance, go with the current C63 because the next version will probably be a twin turbo v6 of some sorts.
I see BMW going closer to 450hp, and Merc going nuts with their AMGs like usual and going towards past 500hp as a C63 with AMG Development package is like 480hp or something.

I would get the new sl65 amg haha, I wish. Get whatever you like, They are both great cars. I have never had any problems with any benz and same goes for the Is F. With a few bolts on the F it will probably keep up with the p31 stock. Honestly, of all the cars I have drove, I love the F more than anything. There is just something unique about it that you can only experience in the F

Whats with all of these comparison threads, asking an IS-F forum what they think of their car vs another car will always give biased answers anyways. Its almost a joke because so many other threads exist which states the same opinions as this one will. What happened to the old fashioned way of doing your own research on which cars are better for your own personal preference?

Honestly it's a really fun car on the curves 6sp man. I've never drove a car that holds the road as well as that thing but I still drive the F way more. In fact I just broke 10k the other day on the 911. The F tears it up in a straight line, but nothing can match that v6 Porsche sound.
