Default RCF Daily Driver

I am considering getting the RCF and using it as my daily driver. I currently live in DC where it will be garage kept but my worry is that it's really a track car and isn't meant to handle all the pot holes in my area.

Anyone using it as a daily driver?

During my 20-30 minute test drive on a variety of road surfaces, I was surprised by the comfort.

The RC F has stiffer suspension that my current stock F, but the seats nicely absorbed the hot spots in the road.

I would not be concerned about ride comfort. I also would not test the limits of the suspension with deep pot holes.

You'll be fine driving in DC. Your bigger concern should be all the self absorbed ****** in DC who "know someone" or "knows someone who knows someone" and drive like idiots, lol.

It won't be an LS600, but it won't be a 911GT2. It is a GT car; first and foremost designed to soak up miles at rapid pace in relative comfort.

However, don't take my word for it. I drive a 2014 Mustang GT with adjustable shocks which I leave cranked up to full stiff when I have my summer tires on. And I live in NY and drive into Queens constantly.

Mine arrives DEC 23rd and will be my DDTSOOI.
Daily drive the **** out of it.
It will be panting and breathing hard everyday I pull back in the driveway.

I think somebody once said, "Not driving your sports car is like not screwing your girlfriend so she is fresher for the next guy".

I am currently daily driving the rcf & gtr. Trying to alternate the racking up of mileage between those two.
