Hope the weight in the RC-F is lower or near the IS-F. Hmmm..RC-F or Nismo GT-R...Heh

prefer the RC interior over the M4... looks more refined and layout is much better IMO

One gripe I have with the RCF is that why did Lexus not use oval exhaust tips like the ISF?

The circle tips kinda look tacky & cheapy

What is a LPC member?

All your # make sense.

Any idea what the optional CF package is? Hood and roof?

This might actually be the very 1st time that a Japanese car smoke an European car in all categories.

The NSX came close last time, but it's V6 never sounds anywhere as hot as a Ferrari V8, it can't beat the sexy Italian styling either.

The GTR smoke the 911 Turbo in speed, but again doesn't look as hot.

I just remembered the 1998 GS400 smoked the E430 and 540i in all categories also, so this would be Lexus 2nd time in smoking the world
the NSX wasnt suppose to be in the same catogory as the ferrari i thought. i thought acura was trying to have a car with exotic looks, but with daily driving reliable-ness

not really. when they designed the nsx, it was targeting right at the ferrari 328 and subsequently the 348. end result was a car that outperform both ferrari's. of course on a badge / prestige level it was a different story

and back to the rcf vs m3? i definitely vote for the na v8 in the rcf

haha...........maybe, the RCF is hot, it gave me the warm and fuzzy.

But in reality it doesn't really fit my needs, I need a LSF or LF-LC, something BIG with a V8 and lots of power

Exactly, right on

Hell yes

If I want a twin turbo 6 coupe, I'll get a Nismo GTR to smoke everything in sight!

I honestly think the RC F looks better than the M4
But still like M3 over IS F though..

RCF looks hot-

But i am not a fan of that huge grill. Can you guys imagine cleaning it? would like picking bugs out from those hard to reach places.

M4 front end looks more classy
