So, which handles better overall?
I am a current RCF owner. Owned ISF and loved every minute of it. Always love four-door.
just wondering: Does GSF dynamically handle better or on par with RCF? Acceleration wise?
is it a more driver's car than RCF?

It's strange because many reviewers stated that the RC-F is too heavy and that they can easily feel the weight. But if you look at the reviews for the GS F, the same reviewers stated that the car feels very nimble and agile (even though both cars almost weigh the same and have the same engine). Maybe the chassis between the 2 cars are that much different?
I think you're better off doing a test drive ASAP to find out for yourself lol.

The pursuit of F
My thoughts as well but I can't help shake off the possibility journalists are also being tougher on the RC F thanks to the years of M3/4 dominance in this segment. In the mid-luxury performance sedan class, the M5 has had its criticism in recent years particularly regarding weight and the CTS-V although a best track performer, is too new to be engrained as the class' standard. Nonetheless, I don't want to take anything away from the GS F since besides the relative shortcomings in power, the reviews are extremely positive in the ride, handling department, and of course that V8 sound!

According to Motortrend, the GS-F has faster Figure 8 lap time than the RC-F :

to me, i still don't consider it the same league as m5 and e63. but at the same time i have more faith in this car than the rcf

The GS-F has the best feel it does feel nimble and agile and the power is there but I still feel it needs more, good power though. Compared to my GS yes it is better way better,an M5 con-tester no but that is obvious. There is more to be desired from when I test drove it, sound is pretty good and has a great growl when it starts up.
I would test an RC-F but I hate coupes and I don't really feel comfortable in it. I'd rather wait for the Turbo GS-F, I'm hoping they make the numbers I want.

Joe Z already posted this, it's very relevant to the question asked. At least both the people giving their opinion have driven both cars on a track.
