2015 new IS F coupe
#106
I wasn't talking about reliability. I was referring to endgame's comment about how "the M MIGHT outperform the F." There is no might, the M does outperform. The F is a great car and I absolutely love mine. But if I wanted a raw, luxury, sports car and a track monster, I'm not even considering the Lexus over the M and would have kept my M. Not to mention, the manual gearbox available in the M. Having owned both, that is just my view.

All I know is I CUSHED several e90/e92 /e46 M3's at VIR. This was in the blue group which was the intermediate group so similar drivers. Also my F outperformed B7 RS4's with top of the line performance coil over suspensions and pirelli zero corsas. My F is bone stock with a GT-spec strut tower brace and pilot super sports. All of these cars are really separated by driver.

The suspension and limited slip differential have had a major impact on performance. I have owned my last Bimmer. They absolutely are one big marketing hype.
The F is a superior car. . Most car reviewers that I have read lean to the F as well.
With that said, if the letter M is in your auto alphabet, go for it.

Unless I have missed something the Lexus is still meant to be sticking with a V8 so it might attract a fair number of new followers who don't want the Straight 6 M3 with artificial engine noise being played over the speakers.

Can't wait to mess with some of my friend that currently own M3's that are getting new model when it comes out. Time to come up with some good old fashion ball busting swipes like " Hey I heard if you upgrade to new Akrapovic Ess Woofer it adds 20 horses or is that decibel?" Or "is it true if you add Tune to your Tunes it will make you faster" let hears of some of your jabs, our M brethren have been busting our ***** for few years now it's their turn lol.
