Default So who has actually driven a RC-F?

I've been looking into getting a new DD and RC-F is high on the list of options. My little sister just got her license and I've letting her use the RX and I've been commuting my 850ish miles a week in the LX. So I've been toying with the idea of just giving her the car since it's kinda big, safe, not too fast. Everything I would want to be in my little sisters first car, lol. So on to the point I've been watching and reading reviews and none have given me a satisfying answer as to where the car is placed. I feel sometimes since reviewers spend such a short amount of time with a car and some times a controlled environment that they don't get a real sense of the car. So I wanted know to if any of us Joes have driven it yet becuase some of us have perks unlike me lol. Or if you guys think there is review that gives you a satisfying answer link it!. Your guys responses will be greatly apreciated!

Several people have. Just they have not responded yet. You can scan through other threads and you will find many who have posted their own impressions and reviews etc. like this one:

The car sounded great, handled phenomenally and gonna be worth every cent I pay for it! I drove it at the Palm Beach Racetrack. Never even thought about the "weight" issue.

How much did the computers intrude? Did you experience more understeer or oversteer? Thanks in advance for answering the question bro!

As I have said before, what "weight" issue?

The car is a luxury road rocket.

I think I may just wait until they hit lots so I can test drive one and see what it's really like. I'm fine with wait time I'm not going out of the norm getting all the bells and whistles with silver exterior and red interior. Hopefully a dealer has build slot that I can step into if I decide to buy.

Silver/Red theme. Very classy. There are some good videos you should check out in the review thread. Won't exactly compare to the Porsche though.

Thanks man! You know I've alwys liked silver and one day I saw a silver GS with red interior and I thought it looked so damn good. It's actully reminded me of classic combo on a 300SL Gualwing. I dont expect it to compare either. It's just i alwys wanted a sporty car with a V8 and Something thats more chuckable in traffic than my big ol LX.
