Guys calm down. Seriously, the car is going to be a little over the price of the M4 DCT. Spec for spec itll be cheaper.

Eh. This is not a fact.

);-)) I would expect to see a conservative 0-60 with a documented improvement over our current F cars.

With regard to what it actually will do versus the M4, we all need to hold on.

They are not driving Fuji International and the Nurburgring to see how quickly it stops.

Anyone think Lexus is tuning the RC-F for more power and a better suspension to beat the M4? Or is it too late in the game?

I was at my dealer yesterday and they still have zero info on price or performance specs. I didn't bother asking if I could even order one cause I need 4 doors but if I was a serious buyer I would expect basic info. Not my dealership's fault but Lexus corporate needs to remedy this whole secret RC-F stuff.

If the M4 Dynos could be taken as accurate, the RCF would need over 500 to beat it on the straights....probably better to cross fingers for some GTR magic track performance.

the chief engineer said he just wanted to build a car that would be fun to drive, not specifically go after a benchmarket. But it is inevitable for it to be compared to M series. M doesnt interest me with its farty exhaust, synthetic sound inside, and its pedestrian everyday looks.

It ran a 12.1 - 12.2 seconds in the 1/4 mile and 3.9 seconds 0 - 60 mph. RC-F will have no problems putting those type of numbers down on the straights. That is nothing too special. The whole "underrating" thing about BMW is overrated considering an E92/E90 M3 with M-DCT or 6 speed manual could pull 12.5 - 12.6 seconds on its best days.

Lexus will sell about 10 RCF's at $100,000.

Yes, it won't be much over the high $70s fully loaded, and even at that price, it's going to be a rare sighting on the road. And I like the exclusivity that the RC/RCF line will bring. They're going to really stand out when driven.

and the 3.9 0-60 is also among the best times on isf too if i recall, where most isf pulls mid 4s

4.2 is the best I've found. I don't even know how someone can get this number, probably has to do with altitude.
