easy going car, hardly any steering adjustment even with big throttle inputs

Better lines and smoother on M4 run. RC F lost a bit of time on real shallow track out going into one of the straight sections so not carrying max speed into straights. Biggest way to bleed off time. M4 was using all of the track. RC F was wringing it out, but throttle inputs sounded very chainsaw like and unusual. Perhaps just the video. Like to see the guy from Auto Bild run a lap in RC F.

There are so many variables here, unless you take a guy like Pobst who could jump in any car on any given day and extract 98% out of it almost immediately. A lot of the other comparisons, especially two different people with different driving skills is pointless and accelleration in the straight may be more heavily weighted with amatuer drivers. Still entertaining and no doubt the M4 has a track advantage.

Add "TVD" to the RCF equation, and the RCF probably wins by picking up precious tenths on the corners.

Looking to see this kind of comparison in the future.

That spec sheet he read from says it originally had a black interior. He added his own package to the interior
