bmw vs. lexus vs. civic .. your opinion?

hey fellas...

well, just wanting your opinions... i got a 2002 325i 5-spd... my friend's got a 02' is300 5-spd... and my other friend has a 01' civic ex, 5-spd, with i/h/e, unorthodox pulleys...

oh, and for the hell of it, maybe ill invite my lil bro to join us in my previous 01' civic ex with i/h/e, and springs...

so, which one would win in a 0-60mph race? and in the 1/4 mile?

i've read all the stats on the cars, especially the bimmer and the lexus, but i don't think thats true... it says both cars take 7.1 sec to reach 60mph... i think the bimmer's faster than that, but not sure...

any opinions?

Lexus, BMW, Civic... The 325i has the 2.5L V6. If it was a 330xx than it'd be equiped with the 3.0L and it would be a close race.

You and your friends must be loaded with all those nice new cars!

I've seen 6.9 sec 0-60 times posted by stock IS3 5-speeds before, I know for a fact that the BMW 325 isn't even close to that. There's a big difference from the 325 to the 330, with the 330 being almost a full second quicker. So yeah, I'd sat the IS3 wins, assuming equal driving skills.
