Ah, it's a chick car, who cares

But seriously, I think they are bolt-on's, so I'm sure your searching (on a non-C63 board) will uncover something.

FWIW, my Porsche TT OEM tips were ugly. Got a nice set of quad satin chrome tips from Fabspeed. Simple bolt-on procedure.

I would get IS-C over IS-F especially for the wife.

CDNROCKIES

Wow! So many misinformed and juvenile comments in a forum that is usually much more open minded and knowledgeable than this.

You're kidding right? 8 is only 1 more than 7. The gas mileage that the 8th gear gets you is more than worth it. And no, the tranny doesn't "search" for gears. It is incredibly smooth in auto and easily as accurate as the C's in manual.

TRD doesn't make an exhaust currently for the F. The Joe Z is pretty sweet though.

Again, the 8 speed is fantastic and gets incredible gas mileage. To say that the F is ****e, is flat out ridiculous and screams badge *****.

You are right, the C63 is easily the best sounding super sedan out there. While the F opens up after 3800 rpm's, the C scares the ****e out of you the moment you start it up. Both cars have their pluses and minuses, but the sound of the C63 is dead sexy!

SGM ftw! And yes it does look even better with the black pearl emblems. Don't ask me how I know.

Ultra Sonic Blue is the color....if you like that "hey look at me" color...lol.

J/k it does look fantastic....check out Cathafer's (modded and next to her matching Gallardo) in another thread on here.

LOL! Not sure how a +400 hp car that runs within tenths of a second of the mighty C63 in all categories is a "chick" car.


To the Rock, there are a few aftermarket exhausts available, but if you really want to mod the car there aren't that many options out there.

If the decision comes down to MSRP vs MSRP, it really comes down to personal preference. They are both great cars, as is the M3 or the RS4 (if it were still available). Each has there personal strengths and weaknesses as there is no perfect car out there.....as much as certain people seem to suggest.

At such a deep discount it sounds like a great deal.

I will state that I am no Lexus fanboy claiming my F is the best car out there (I did switch to Benz last month for our latest SUV...ML 320 Bluetec ). It does have a lot going for it, as do the other super sedans.

Feel free to flame away, as I know it's coming.

It was only a matter of time before someone with a IS-f came on this thread crying...

First of all the IS-f is in LAST place by far when you put it up against the M3, C63, RS4, and even the CTS-V (EVEN THOUGH I WOULD RATHER HAVE THE LEXUS OVER THE CADDY)

It may not be a benchmark "chick car" but out of all of the cars I listed above... YES, it would be the "chick car"...

The 8speed tranny is completely ridiculous, and contradicts the point of a high performance car. These cars are not supposed to be ULTRA smooth with an 8 speed tranny... Maybe something like an S-class, but NOT these cars... Even the C63 kinda frustrates me a little bit with 7 gears but over time I got used to it and it’s not bad at all.... 8 gears is just pushing it, pointless, and must be a NIGHTMARE to drive in manual...
I personally think the IS-f doesn’t compare to the C63 in any category, some may say the interior is nicer, but I disagree b/c I think it is VERY tacky. The Navi is better though I must admit.
My friend cries every time I pull like 2-3 cars on him lol, he still thinks I have my ECU flashed (I DON’T)... This is a car someone settles for because they can’t afford the C63 in my opinion, or because they wanted to save some money while still having a high performance sedan. I DO like the IS-f so don’t go on bashing me, but you must admit it sits in last place out of all the super sedans, but a great bargain....

CDNROCKIES

And I fully expected the biggest douche bag on this forum to come in and be a dick as usual.

Funny, I actually was going to mention you in the last post but knew you'd come in and show your true colors.

You have the greatest car in the world and we should all look at you as our hero!

DaGS1800

hahaha exactly what did I say that makes a douche bag? or show my true colors... You are the immature one, and clearly have difficulty expressing yourself.... I’m sorry your car is inferior to ours, grow the F**K up and get over it.. You're the douche bag crying about your car...

DaGS1800

"Funny, I actually was going to mention you in the last post "

There was no post before on this thread, clearly you are delusional... THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, jacka$$....

CDNROCKIES

Where did I cry about my car?

I clarified some misconceptions about the F. I never stated it was better or superior to any other car, ever. We all make our choices for what suits us best.

I'm glad that you think that your car is the greatest thing on the road today. Clearly in your opinion it is. You've made that clear in multiple threads where there is any discussion on ANY other car out there.

To attempt to belittle any of the cars in this segment (M3, RS4, CTS-V, IS-F and C63) shows a lack of car knowledge as they are all fantastic vehicles. Most true car enthusiasts can appreciate and acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Ironically, I had tried to purchase a C63 twice, but MB couldn't meet the delivery deadline that I needed as I think it's a great car. I have no regrets on the F as, imo, it's a great balance between luxury and performance.

Btw, the couple tenths quicker in a straight line your car is will mean nothing on the track. With ANY of these cars it will come down to a drivers race. It will be a total crap shoot and come down to driver skill and experience...excluding the V (even a noob should still win in the V). Just because pro drivers can put up a certain number doesn't mean the majority of drivers can.

Learn to read retard!

I was referring to my post....and the fact that I knew you would be the azzhat that would start the flaming.

CDNROCKIES

My apologies to all other members on mbworld for these posts. Generally, I have a huge amount of respect for the members here and appreciate the many fantastic vehicles that MB produces....I even bought one...lol.

The intent wasn't to argue which car is better....that's for each of us to decide for ourselves, for our own reasons.

seems like a real good deal

DaGS1800

Ok im the retard... uhuh , you are having trouble understanding again... Let me help and explain further what I meant...

How could or why would you mention me in your first post if I did not post on this thread before your first post... That makes absolutely no sense unless you just have happened to be thinking about me anyway... haha

Why are you snooping around the C63 forum anyway if you drive an IS-f?? Wish you had the C63? I doubt you find any C63 drivers without an IS-f posting on the Lexus forums... get a life bro...

CDNROCKIES

Like I said, because I've seen your posts in other threads regarding other vehicles, I knew that this would be your reaction.

And actually you're completely wrong. There are tons of Benz owners that participate in the Lexus forum....where people are allowed to discuss other brands of cars without getting flamed.

I'm not snooping around anything. I looked hard at a C63 and chose otherwise, but I do own an ML and generally enjoy this forum save for the crap you provide.

I'm shocked you actually don't drive an M3 as you seem much more suited to the BMW forums.

Guess you shouldn't look at any of the other AMG forums since you don't own those cars ?

DaGS1800

haha this is such a classic line... you really are a Jacka$$

Incase you forgot. You’re the one doing the flaming... In my first post I simply stated how pointless an 8speed tranny is in high performance car like ours, and when you compare the IS-f to all of the other high performance sedans the IS-f was inferior... and what happened? you began the flaming and opening your mouth talking all this crap to me, when I didn’t really even mention you in the first place... Grow up and let it go, you already apologized for your stupidity no need to continue, you seem to be extremely sensitive about your car, Ill try and just say good stuff about the IS-f from now on, I hope it make you feel better...

CDNROCKIES

You're hilarious.

In any discussion about any other car, you are always the one person on this forum guaranteed to come out and proclaim your car the greatest thing ever made.

I really don't give a rat's azz what you think about the F or any other car for that matter. I love the C63 and all of the other super sedans and made a choice that I am comfortable with. To sit here and try to degrade a competitor is weak. I'll wait for the vid of you showing the superiority of your car on the track.

I don't define myself by the vehicles I drive, as you so clearly appear to do. It's a fun piece of metal that gets me from point a to point b....sometimes quicker than others.

I apologized for engaging a douche bag to the other members, not for any of the content.

GHAZAN

I think it's a fact that everyone expects Dags to post his asinine comments. Exactly why CDN knew in advance. You take the cake on this subforum's biggest douche bag award.

I may be willing to say 400 out of 500 of your posts would fulfill the criteria to win such an award.

CDNROCKIES

And I accept the fact too.

There are far more members that are true car enthusiasts that have a wealth of automotive knowledge to share.....which anyone can appreciate.

Rock

Wow, some of you guys are pretty angry and I like that.

I posted my potential purchase question here as opposed to on Club Lexus because I already knew what their answer would be. I figured a lot of you guys may have cross-shopped the Lexus and could give me a little insight as to why you decided on a different car.

I did have to laugh at the poster who said those that get the ISF do so because they cannot afford a C63. From every review I've read the C63, ISF, M3 and RS4 are all tremendous performers and similarly priced when new, although the RS4 "was" the most expensive (I think I have one of those). Many here have multiple performance cars and like having vehicles from different manufacturers. But I won't lie..... If I can save 10-20 grand and still get a remarkable ride, I'm in!!

Shellbmb

For 50K, you can buy a lot of cars. If you already have an E class or C63, seems like the ISF would be a redundant car. Would be fun to drive, but wouldn't be that much different than a C63.

I agree with another poster, why not the IS-C? Or a 2 door M3 with manual tranny? Something different from what you already have. Or X6-M (not sure what they are calling that) if you need a SUV/crossover type car. Or GLK, or Q5.

Back in December when I bought my C63, I looked at some IS-F's in that same price range. Brand new 2008's they were trying to unload. I bet you could get even lower than 49k. I almost pulled the trigger on a "show" car that had everything including the laser pre-crash warning system and laser cruise control. And it was still only 54K. But I chose the C for a number of reasons and could not be happier.

Good luck with your decision. Sounds like your wife is easy to please. Be thankful for that!! Others can be.....

Rock, get her a GT-R...

Hehe....don't think I haven't thought about that one but even she would see through that............. "Oh Honey, I just purchased you a candy-apple red, Cobb tuned GTR with 20 inch staggered BBS LMs that will blister the 1/4 mile in 11sec. flat.......and don't worry, you'll blend in fine with all of your Accord driving friends."
