I just saw this episode today. They tear up a mountain road in San Diego in the RC F. It has 4 parts that auto load after each part.

0-60 = 3.9 sec
1/4 mile = 12.05 @ 118mph
ATS-V
0-60 = 4.3 sec
1/4 mile = 12.41 @ 115 mph
RC-F
0-60 = 4.8 sec
1/4 mile = 13.1 @ 109 mph
Wow....those times are abysmal for the RC-F.

you need to get the RPMs up abit in the RCF for a nice launch. Maybe around 2000.
plus we don't know the condition of the track, altitude? N/A cars suffer alot from altitude/sea level.

ya if your consider the m4 and ats-v have launch control while the RCF was launching from 0 RPM.

they also said a lot of things other reviews didnt and said were a weakness.
- the RCF is a drift machine
- the RCF overheated
- the RCF has a squirrely backend
- RCF doesnt put down the power as good as the M4
While, they said M4 stays planted and easy to drive while other reviewers said the M4 has crazy oversteer and you need to learn to drive it with a light foot.
Also note, they said "a little bit better" a lot. Lexus RCF definitely kept up.
I dont agree with this review. Lots of inconsistency with my experience and other reviewers.

ATS V vs. M4 vs. RC F

Thought this review deserved its own thread. Their conclusions were quite the opposite of most reviewers I have read.
Discuss.

and, if the RCF is anything like the ISF, your best times will be from simply punching it off the line. brake torquing results in a horrible 60ft time because of wheel spin. at least it did for me...
ETA....it did for them, as well.
