Hi Flanker271, I led the development team for both of these aircraft, and as much as I love the F-15 since I spent lots of time with them in the 80s and 90s, I can safely say that our 90mm F-22 is superior to our F-15 in the ways you've asked about. The F-15 has those beautiful (and wildly expensive) exhaust nozzle details and it's still the biggest foam electric Eagle on the market, but in terms of flight envelope, low speed stability, stall speed, acrobatic maneuver potential, battery bay size and ease of access, the F-22 wins out. In some of these categories the advantages are incremental, while in others they are quite noticeable. Ultimately, whichever you choose, I think you'll be satisfied.
Consider though that your buddy already has an F-15, so you two can fly heritage flights together if you acquired the F-22. They are close enough in relative scale for formation flights, too (~1:13.6 and ~1:12.8, respectively).
Yes, it will fit without the rear seat folded down. It will be snug, but in an Acura RL I can't imagine it won't fit in one piece without the nose cose, as shown in my pics. I regularly transport planes in Didi (Chinese version of Uber).
