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.

Nice car !!

Just curious: what model originally was it exactly before getting tuned ??
