"Its optional torque-vectoring differential is effective if somewhat synthetic-feeling: Some might prefer the more honest action of the standard Torsen unit. In any case, be sure to upgrade the brake pads and/or fluid for track outings, as the RC F's pedal grew long in about a lap and a half of MMC's 3.6-mile track. Also, skip the sunroof option if you're over 6 feet tall and plan on wearing a helmet, because your melon won't fit."

Is that 37.8 a slicktop or a sunroof car? I'm thinking slicktop.

Numbers are fine and dandy, but don't mean anything when you have sat in the car.

None of this means anything to me. I sat in the RC F and I sat in the Corvette, plus I actually track my IS F. My head is less than a finger thickness from the headliner in the RC F with a sunroof. I have more room than this with my IS F.

Agreed. Need the sit in the car to get a feel for it. Like trying a nice pair of shoes 👍

I picked up my RC F this afternoon (w/sunroof) and can tell you if you're over 5'10" you will not fit in it w/ a helmet......unless you drive w/ the bro lean and seat way back. The Bell Sport line of helmets will likely be your best bet if you're close. Open face helmets will definitely be a no go since they tend to ride taller. I'm 5'10" and there's some rubbing action going on when I'm in a track position. Some of the newer carbon helmets from Stilo would work too.....but those start at around 1500$. Thought I'd share.
