you're not making this easy for me... loooool
i actually haven't paid the RC any attention until now and omgggggg
edit: after some examination of the RC350, i still don't see myself driving it over the GS
Again, if i were a couple years younger, i'd probably be drooling all over the rc350 ( i won't lie, i'm drooling all over the RC F haha), i know something wouldn't sit right with me knowing that there is a RC-F out there if i were to be driving the 350
to me the GS says that i've aged a bit and that my taste has seasoned slightly, but only time will tell
one thing that is for sure is that I like the track pad in the RC better than the mouse pad that comes in the GS, i've only used the mouse that comes in the RX, but from what i know, they are the same? and it's just a sloppy feeling, it feels like your usage of the mouse has to be extremely precise so that u don't accidentally skip over what you are trying to select
if anything, only a test drive will allow me to fully gauge my feelings about the RC, perhaps the lighter chassis will be a better pair with the 3.5 motor

Have you considered going for a new IS 250 or 350 F-Sport? It's going to be at least $10-15k cheaper than the GS which puts it right around or just above the BRZ price range. But at least you'll have a Lexus which is Sporty and Luxurious and then later on you can step up to the GS when you're ready. I'm 26 myself and the GS is my 3rd Lexus in 8 years, but the first one I was able to get new (1994 ES300, 2001 GS430, and now 2013 GS350 F-Sport). Good luck!

Fully loaded BRZ comes in at almost $35k + mods the OP has said he wants to add. Obviously not an exact match but still the IS is much closer in price range than the almost $60k GS F-Sport. Which is the reason I suggested considering the IS which was AROUND or at least closer to the BRZ price range.

as nice as the GS F sounds, that will definitely not be in my price range and I can't wait for it to depreciate and then buy it
as of now it's either going to be a GS Fsport or and 2011+ ISF
i like what i'm seeing about the ISF responding to just bolt ons, and in my case, the fact that it can't be tuned is a great limiter for me
