Default from experience with my lowly 12v, if you can drive then...

you can take the IS but it will be close with the 328...it should pull on you a little so get the jump.

You're nuts. The 12V should get beat by a competent driver in a 325i.

Default Again, I don't think they were driving. You have a 190hp stock car that weighs at least

300 lbs more than an IS, which has about 215 hp by the way. The gearing on these cars just doesn't differ enough for that to be the difference, and the Audi loses more power through the drive train. So, unless the IS driver is a bonehead, he should beat you handily. Sorry, 2.8s just are not fast cars, modded or not. Hell, the IS lays down stock 0-60 times at least 1 sec. faster than a 2.8 30V.

Default Yes because my IS will leave a 325

and keep up with an auto 330ci. Never had a chance at a 328. I assume it would be very close.

I think a 12V is one of the slowest cars on the road. No offense there still real nice cars.
