RC F vs GS F, which would you choose?

GS-F no doubt.
I feel the chassis married to that engine will just be phenomenal. Lightweight and stable.
Two things you don't really hear in reviews about the RC F

The GSF will be measured against the M3 if the scribes are looking for comparable cars. Otherwise...it will be up against the 550i M Sport and it's ilk. I think the pricing will bare that out. And that's fine...
It's just a shame that lexus didn't do what's necessary to make THEIR sport version competitive with everyone else's sport version.

I'm just saying looking at 4GS reviews, the car has an incredible amount of praise, superb chassis begging for more power, and won won quite a few comparos. Add the V8 and I assume the car can only get better.

Have they announced a weight for the GS-F yet? I'm thinking it could very well come in under the RC-F, potentially making it the faster car.
EDIT - The listed curb weight of the RC 350 F Sport RWD is 3,748lbs. The RC-F is listed at exactly 210lbs heavier at 3,958. The GS 350 F Sport RWD is the lightest at a listed weight of 3,726lbs.

Unless you *have* to have a GSF or a *new* vehicle, I see no reason to buy 1. Might as well look for a 2013 or 2014 used ISF. Much lighter than the GSF, so with all that extra HP, it wont be any faster. They are rated for almost the same 1/4 mile time. Save your money and buy some mods for the ISF then it will be much faster....

Coming from a previous 4GS owner and no family, I actually would choose the RCF. From the nice clean lines, its menacing stance and throaty engine, I'd go for the coupe.

Basically they want a family super sedan. The IS-F and RC-F won't cut it in terms of utility.
