3 C63's vs ISF
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum 'cuz I bought my car last week. It's my first time posting pics on this forum.
I took some pics with my 2 friends C63 (black= Jason & silver= 1st AMG) & my brother Lexus ISF.
Enjoy!

It's great to see about 1800hp on one driveway I don't know why you all diss the IS-F so much. It's a good alternative for the C63. I've driven it and was amazed with its performance. It's cheaper in Germany, too. Dont know about the States, but here it's about 20k Euros cheaper than a fully loaded C63.
Taking the M3, RS5, C63 and IS-F into account it would be my last choice, but still a nice car.

Thanks for the feedbacks everyone!! I really love the C63, great car all around.
But coming from the Lexus family (L-tuned IS300), I really miss the reliability of the brand. I had the car for 8 years (88 000km) & no problem at all.

The fake quad exaust is one and the only reason i hate the ISF, and some kid that was doing a job for me telling me its a faster car than the c63, just cause he saw a video of it on youtube

^^ Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the stack quad exhaust either.
Can you believe my brother only paid 75$ in fuel charge when he purchased his new ISF (the car has 416hp)... and I had to pay 2000$ in green tax + 1200$ in fuel taxes.

As for the power, it feels the same as the C63... a lot of torque at high speed. 416hp is plenty for this car. The exhaust sounds is incredibly deep at start up... love it too!

The ISF ride is very harsh, I don't like the suspension... it's not comfortable. The C63 is in the same category in terms of comfort, but a bit better.

Well, I might be wrong 'cuz I didn't get to push the C63 yet... I only have 200km on mine so it's still in the break-in period. I might think differently once I get to enjoy the potential of the car.

The rub on the IS-F is it has a smoother 8-speed gearbox, but still gives up time in the sprints with the C63...which tells me, it can't pull nearly as hard if it is shifting faster but still loses pace.
Can't go wrong with an IS-F though...both cars are the envy. I've NEVER seen an IS-F here in Hawaii...not even sure they sell them here. Would love to get a little highway run going.
How are they to tune? I'm guessing there are turbos out there already fitted...typical East Asian motor.
