Default Thinking of getting the RC-F

Ok so I sold my IS- F years ago, since then I have bought a few other cars that are much faster.
Currently I own two sports cars( one really fast and one ok fast) and my daily just was wrecked so I might replace it even though it was not totaled. It was a four door big car. Thoughts on RC-F for daily use? I do have kids but most times I only have one with me at any given time.
Thanks guys!

Same position as you with comparable weekend cars. I use RCF as a daily driver and purchased it for back seat large enough for 4 year old, comfort for daily driving and longer business related trips and reliability. 16,000 + miles since March and fits my needs perfectly.

My oldest is 6 and he is mainly the one riding along. Glad you like yours. I am going today to drive one.

How did the test drive go? Just curious on your comparison between this and your 14 GTR.

I like the ride better! but as to power and shifting speed, the GT-R is hands down a much better performance car. I also Have many upgrades. My GT-R is at 657 to wheels.
I am really looking for the daily that will replace the Maserati.

Appreciate the quick response. Stock for stock power (if you remember lol) was it pretty close?

I've got about 800 miles on my RCF and it's far and above better than my ISF. My daily commute has gotten shorter, but it's a great car for a daily.

No where near, it's hard to explain. GTR is in a different class in my opinion.

^^^^totally agree. The RC F accelerates like a bat out of hell. If you want an enormously powerful V8, this is the ride.
