The Lexus RC-F weighs about 650 pounds more but with 135 extra hp v8. Its track tuned to compete with m3/m4, atsv, rs5, c63amg so turning is very planted and minimal roll with the PSS. Someone posted on YouTube with a stock one running 12.4, will confirm that after breaking
 The ride is pretty harsh just like the z minus the rattling and add ALOT refinement. The sound of v8 and stock quad exhaust is just pure bliss. Will update the in depth performance after break-in. The one thing I disliked about the new ride is it only has 1 outlet in the center console. So I feel naked driving without my valentine 1 until I tap it with the mirror I was originally going to hold off purchasing until I need more seats, but the deal is too too good to let go.

Loooovvveee the color and I'm seeing a lot of these gently used on car gurus.com. a Toyota dealership here got a dark grey one they let me take out and beat up. I think the car is freakishly gorgeous the acceleration is crazy. Very heavy but pulls, sure has a backseat but not at all use able for me as I'm 5'9 and like my seat back. No way people could sit back there with me driving.
In the end I picked up another Z for pretty cheap as they are selling crazy cheap now anyway. Good choice OP I'm sure you will enjoy for many years to come.

Sweet car but I hate the color, LOL
I was just looking at one of these in white with red interior cause I'll be switching cars in a few as well, just feel I need to let it go while its still HOT, low miles and can still get a pretty penny for it. My next 3 choices are: 1:Corvette C7 2:Audi RS5 3:Lexus RC-F |

Well make sure the next high performance car you get is reliable. That's why I went with Lexus. Btw, if you search autotrader new cars, there are sooo sooo many white rcf sitting on dealer lots. Great deals can be made! Last edited by ssmoked; 02-17-2016 at 09:57 PM. |

I kinda want to drive one, but I doubt I'd want to spend money on one myself because I'm a dinosaur that prefers manuals. Still a great looking car, and I'm sure it's a blast to drive.

considering the op went from AT to AT i can see this as natural choice.
ive seen these cars in person while i was visiting lexus and they look really nice. lexus quality is second to none, and the interiors are super nice. coupes for dd with baby is probably one of the worst choices imho per actual experience (wait till u have to pick up your kid on a stormy day), but hey.. we all live and learn.  get a 4 door dd.
