see, i have no problem with this -- feel. given that most ppl don't hit the track every weekend, i think feel is a very important aspect in owning cars like this. the driving feel. as long as it feels good i think it matters most

i just have a problem when ppl jumps in and say tvd is super in performance.

I agree, but you're the one that started this whole argument the first place lol.

romini i feel the same way, IF you're just turning on a Street Corner & Not going 80+mph around it, you are NOT going to Feel ANY Difference whether it's in TVD mode OR Sport+ mode.

I totally agree with you, I threw the car into a few sharp turns going around 30mph during my test drive and to be honest I couldn't tell much of a difference, with TVD or not. BUT, I still ended up buying one with performance package only because I like the look with carbon.
I wish Lexus would do a full carbon fiber package without TVD, I would trade my TVD with a carbon hood any day

looking at vins, lexus made about 5000 rcfs from what i see. They sold 10K + rcs to date by their sales number, but dont break it down by model.
Thats about 1/2 the gtr output by nissan. I would be willing to bet that number goes down by half for MY2016.

From Dec to Sept...
So in 10 months they manufactured 5,000 RC F's ??
Globally ??

If that's the case, then they pumped out more than the IS F launch year in MY08'

And you're right... To date the sales numbers never break down the "F"

In the IS F community, we compiled enough data how to figure how many IS F's were made in its 7 year run and ball park units sold in USA..

Joe, just tried to PM you but it says your inbox is full.

For a fully loaded $79K RCF, what kind of numbers should I expect from Longo or other Socal dealers? It looks like Longo has 18 RCFs in stock, but I'm only interested in a fully loaded one with radar.

Thank you!
