Default Wish list for 2016

If you could change anything about your RC F for 2016, what would it be?

Here is my cosmetic list
- Carbon fiber hood, top, trunk without TVD
- E-brake over foot parking break
- Strong fan for cooled seats
- controllable sport exhaust kit
- 3 way dampers found on the F-Sport
- the seat moves faster when moving forward for back passengers

Major changes
- a few more inches of leg and head room for the back seat
- lose 300 lbs

Outside of that I love my RC F.

I would choose:
1. carbon fiber hood...
2. ... which would help with the minus 300 lbs
3. And dual clutch auto, because I think it would be more responsive than the current 8-spd, which is actually not bad.

Hi, aginnt. How are you? Yes, those are some great ideas but my changes would consist of a:

1 - Navi Screen, 10 inches minimum
2 - lighter weight for the doors
3 - round off Horsepower to 500
4 - deeper exhaust sounds
5 - slightly bigger glove box
6 - deeper armrest department
7 - LED interior lighting

Just some small things but it's almost perfect but since this just a fun wish list. Yes, I do love my RCF, "Akiho", just the way she is. Hehe.. ;-) drive safely and carefully, everyone.

I would like...

-more low end torque
-a little more aggressive exhaust note
-Heads-Up display
-reduce weight
-adaptive suspension
-Adjust Drive Modes as follows:
----Eco-Mode, just get ride of it because it doesn't belong on a sports car like this
----Normal Mode, keep shift points low for smooth ride and better mileage, while softening up suspension for softer ride
----Sport Mode, get rid of "SportS" mode because that's just a stupid name and call it "Sport" Mode. In Sport mode there should be higher shift points to keep car in the power band, and maybe firm up suspension to medium. I'm tired of being in 8th gear at 45mph and not having any power.
----Track Mode, get rid of "SportS+" mode because that's another stupid name and just call it "Track" Mode. In Track mode it needs to keep the shift points higher in the power band before shifting, and set the suspension to maximum. SportS+ mode does a pretty good job today of keeping RPM's up in the power band but it just seems like it needs a little tweaking. I'm also really confused about suspension--it seems to me that in SportS+ mode the suspension does get a little stiffer and handle better, but at the same time all the guys upgrading their suspension components seem to indicate there is nothing special going on there--what gives with that?!?

No Clutch, No Care. So lets get 6MT option for those of us that wants one.

I'd step up this if it becomes a reality. I really like my RC F, but if I could change a few things I'd ask for...
1) D shaped steering wheel
2) LED footwell illumination kit
3) stronger ventilation fan in seats ( my GX seats are MUCH stronger )

I'd like to see the auto seat movement when the seat belt is attached to assist entry and exit. The other is a better sound system. The ML in the RC F isn't as good as the GX or the LS460 Sport I used to drive.

Round hp to 500
Loose 300 lbs
Stronger seat fans
Better audio.
Adjustable suspension
Louder factory exhaust
CF roof only option
MORE CF INTERIOR lexus owns a CF factory for crying out loud. (This is *** backwards)

Our aluminum hoods are usually the same weight as CF.

I know this would be a dream come true in a Perfect World but THIS will Never Happen
But, IF it did there wouldn't be ANYMORE Discussion vs the caddy, amg or the m4!
