Default Top Gear 1/09 IS F vs M3

Here's Clarkson's opinion on the early IS F, for reference:
"those exhaust tips...are fake"
"...if you drive a Lexus...you're a dork"

I am sure he will love the RC-F. Yes, he was not a fan of the IS-F, but I am sure the RC-F will work its magic since it is an evolutionary improvement over the years from the IS-F. I reckon, this time around there is a good chance RC-F might beat the M3/M4.
Unfortunately, I believe the LFA has been passed. He was utterly and unapologetically enamored with the new McLaren P1 last week. After watching the segment on it, and given Clarkson's expertise, this P1 might be the single, greatest piece of automotive engineering I've ever seen.

The RCF is likely to break into the 3s leaving the M4 behind. Track performance comparisons will be interesting.

Regardless, I will not be heading towards German again in this lifetime. One problematic and cranky Bimmer was more than enough for me.
