Which are correct:

1) There's no way I will do something like that.

2) No way I will do something like that.
3) No way will I do something like that.

4) In no way I will do something like that.

5) In no way will I do something like that.

The first three are supposed to mean the same and '4' and '5' are supposed to mean the same. (I think there is a difference between the meaning of the first three and that of the second two.)

'4' sounds incorrect to me.

I don't like '3' either.

Gratefully,
Navi.

Happy New Year.

1) is the only natural sentence.

#3 is a truncated version of #1; you may hear it colloquially.
