I hope the suspension/ride is more compliant than the previous IS-F. Of course, I'm only quoting what I've read and saw on a Top Gear test, but the ride was said to be punishing. Seems odd for a Lexus..?

That does seem like an odd description. I've driven a 2008 IS-F and the ride was far from what I'd call punishing.

The ride is pretty harsh given its a Lexus. I do feel every bump and imperfection on the road and the ride is fairly stiff. I just watched the comparison between the RCF and M3 on YouTube by Motortrend, and they said the rcf suspension is much softer than the M3 lol. The lap time was only 3/10 second slower.
Coming from the 370, ride quality is improved in a sense the cabin is dead quiet with no rattles and the sound of the v8 when the air intake flap opens up is pure bliss.

Oh now I see there is only one trim of the Lexus RC F on its official website.

Thanks :)

Ive been eyeballing the RC as well. Great switch!

ssmoked, how are those tri led headlights? suprised when I noticed those

This is what Nissan gets for dragging their feet. No information about the next Z. Don't blame you for moving on to a RC-F. I truly don't get what Nissan gains by hiding the Z35

Those are gorgeous and exotic looking. The lights compliment all the body curves the RCF has to offer. It takes twice as long to wash than the 370z, but it's a joy.

After 1 month/ 1000 miles ownership, here are my likes and dislikes:

Pros: NA V8 growl (it has secondary intake that opens up after 3500 rpm), racing seats and stitching, Lexus interior, overall aggressive design, well planted during turns, HUGE brembo brakes, quad exhaust staggered styling, headlights and exclusivity. FREE FOOD/SNACKS AT LEXUS DEALER :tup:

Cons: attract TOO much attention, especially with molten pearl. Too many gears. Low end torque. A bit heavy but is very planted and corners better than the Z. Need bigger stock rear tires, only managed 12.7 1/4 mile with the pss 275/35/19. Only 1 center arm console power outlet. Insurance went up 16%

Neutral: flooring the gas even at 55 mph would leave a strip of 15ft tire marks. It's cool at first but tires will get expensive. Hopefully upgrading to 305s would solve the issue.

What I miss about the 370: able to throw it around with ease and the 7AT feels more connected to the road especially in manual mode.

Nice ride, love the color.

what would you think it would do with that color :p lol

what do they claim it can do? 12.4?

I've read on club lexus, the stock tires are too narrow. any issue with the fuel pump? heard that an issue lexus doesnt fix until its broke. but cool to hear you like it.

im craving a 50/50 creamsicle(old guys will get it)

No issue with my fuel pump. Some people claim they have issues around 6-7k miles with "noise", while others say theirs are fine. I'm not worried with full warranty. I'm sure I would encounter more issues with the m4, ctsv, c63 If I went that route

I guess the OP means kids on the way. Hey OP, when you find out who the father is, be sure to kick his a$$. :rofl2:

I get it, but I think you mean a Dreamsicle? :-). Yummy!

Whatever it is I surely don't want it as it rhymes with testicles! Plus dream and creamy! Doesn't blend right to me. Lol

Not true, it's about staying happy, I have a kid and if I had the get a 4 door sure it be easier but I'd be passed 24/7 and blaming wife and kids

They literally stopped me from eating foods that were shaped like dicks. No hot dogs, no popsicles...

well that escalated quickly :rofl2:
