Since you decided to open the name calling door let me jump in as well.

When a company takes aim at it's #1 competitor (BMW M3/4) and touts that their new car is a serious contender they don't go and add nearly 200 lbs to an already heavy car. In fact, the new M3/4 is 180 lbs lighter than the previous e9x. Also, you've clearly demonstrated you have no idea where that weight gain even came from. According to the Lexus engineers it's all in extra bracing and stiffening to make the car handle better and flex less. It certainly didn't come from "creature comforts" as you suggest.

Furthermore, Lexus didn't want to even spend the necessary capital to build a proper contender...

"The RC chassis is a Frankenstein mash-up of three different cars. From the front bumper to the A-pillars lay the bones of the Lexus GS sedan. Between the A- and C-pillars, engineers borrowed the floorpan of the Lexus IS C convertible (reinforcing the sills for good measure). The rear end is adapted from the current Lexus IS sedan. The three sections are welded and bonded together with structural adhesive used around the rockers, inner fenders, A-pillars, and floor crossmember. Extra spot welds join the cowl and rockers, and laser screw welding is used for the door apertures, rear window, and package tray. Structurally, the regular-strength RC coupe and the hot-rodded RC F are nearly identical, although the F has its own fenders, aluminum hood, and front bumper cover, as well as a few more braces to stiffen things up even more."

So my question to you is; what kind of retard opens their mouth and pulls sh!t out their *** when they clearly are not fully informed?
