CTS-V vs IS-F vs M3 vs C63: - Page 3 - my.IS

It was a difficult question, but it is a fight between the V and the M.

The V is so much more car for the money, but the M3 is the original. Like Clarkson said on top gear, the other German boys can make small sporty sedans, but the M3 is the original.

The CTS-V has 100hp more than the C63 and the C63 achieved these acceleration #s...

^^^ But there is also that 400lbs difference, 3800lbs for the C63 and 4200lbs for the CTS-V. It still should be quicker (CTS-V), but not much.

It's not so much weight as it is weight over the rear wheels... For example, the E55 wagon has been faster than the E55 sedan in most comparisions despite weighing 256 lbs more...

^^^^ That Is Hotttttttttttt

BigJoeD · 01-24-2008, 03:45 PM

This to me is the main reason why the new CTS-V will compete with the so-called big boys

DJPoop · 01-24-2008, 04:53 PM

That CTS-V interior looks horrible to me. It's so busy and cluttered. I think I would get a headache driving around in that.

BigJoeD · 01-24-2008, 05:11 PM

^^ I love the interior of this thing. I think you could get use to it REAL quick.

gbb357 · 01-24-2008, 06:30 PM

Why don't we do a seperate interior poll with these 4 cars.

Crester · 01-24-2008, 06:44 PM

Do we need a poll for interiors?

I have a feeling it will go like this...

1. CTS-V
2. IS-F
3. C53
....
....
....
....
1,239,322,354,322,667,634. BMW

EricK · 01-24-2008, 06:53 PM

The RS4 is still on the build your own part of the Audi of America > Home website....

My choice would be....

1. RS4
2. M3
3. IS-F
4 C63
5. CTS-V

My parents have an 05' SRX and it now has 50,000 miles and they're about to turn it in (off lease)... It feels like a German car would at 100K miles..

Even with 100+hp over it's competitors, the V still struggles.

what ever happened with this?

scottycameron · 01-24-2008, 08:32 PM

C63
M3
V
IS-F

The 63 is just a make no appologies, grunting beast of a car that will smoke anything on the road.

The high revving V8 from the M would be a very close second.

The other 2 are just that, the other 2.I would take the V on looks alone over the F. That car looks like a catfish with downs syndrome who is wearing a costume made by a vtec forum webmaster.
