Drove the RC-F

GS F confirmed by multiple sources here and in press as next model to get F treatment.
GS-sized 4 door is what I want/need but got sick of waiting and pulled the trigger on RCF.

I still think the rcf is a tad small for my 6'3" if I wanted to have use of the rear seats on a regular basis , but if it's only from time to time I have to sacrifice a little bit of seating comfort I would take it over a sedan

Not a chance I went to sit in one just to see and for bigger guys there is no room , maybe if you're a short small guy then sure. Last week I also went to see the rcf and when my seating position was all set there was leg room for a small child in the back something the gtr never had .

Yes, there is considerably more back seat comfort than the RCF. Few of us will ever use the back seats in the new rocket, IMO.

My buddy bought the GSFsport today. It has more room in the front, but when you slide the seats back for your leg extension, the back comes up short on space.

RC track day
RC track day event. The V8 is a masterpiece. Drove back to back with M4. RC F so much more of an experience. Tenacious, angry, fantastic. Best thing ive driven.

Drove the rcf today and I must say very impressed. Motor is a beast. I had two isf's before and motors and the sound are very similar. Interior Is what sets this car apart. Great seats and great tech. Car is more in line with a grand touring car opposed a sports car. Great daily car with all the power,tech and its practical. I wish the carbon fiber packages were available. Like to see the carbon on ultra sonic. If I didn't just purchase an Audi R8 I would be placing my order.

Definitely more of a GT with traceability which is exactly what it should be. How is the R8?

Drove an RC F
I finally got my hands behind the wheel of an RC F. The car is a BEAST. The high revving V8 is the most powerful Lexus I've ever driven. The exhaust note is music to my ears. Drove it in all three modes with sport being the best. Couldn't really test the handling since it was at night and I was unfamiliar with the roads. I plan to go in the light of day and really ring it out. I'm not that broad but I found the seats just a little tight for my liking. The car did not have the Performance Package nor the Mark Levinson Package. I was told that the performance package has been delayed and if I would place an order now I'd see it with that package in March-April 2015.

R8 is great. Lacks the practicality for sure. It's a great drivers car with the best seating position of any car I sat in. Best sounding car as far as being stock I have ever had. Lacks tech but it's all about the driver and the car. My girlfriend calls it the UFO because everyone wants to take pictures of it and it draws a ton of attention. One thing I don't like is the mod market is very over priced. Like 7k for an exhaust. It's the R8 surcharge.
