Default RC F Outperforms on Another Important Level

We all love the power.

I suspect we'll all appreciate the safety as well. The 2015 Lexus RC F (and RC 350) earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus rating.

It's the only coupe in its class with the top rating.

. Perhaps we are...

Three early track tests (Motor Trend, Road & Track Motown Mile, and AMCI certified testing demonstrate equal if not better track results than class competitors despite the tiresome weight comments.
Very comparable 0-60 performance when compared to other cars in the class.
Safest vehicle in the class.
Likely to be the best overall daily driver in the class.
Likely to prove to deliver the most durability / reliability in the class.
Most luxurious coupe in its class.

I think this is enough to establish a very strong position in the class.

It's only the # racers that care about 0-60. I owned a NSX in the past and it was not the fastest but it was the MOST fun to drive and the inside was super nice for it's time. If the new NSX is anything like the old it will be a world class car again.

Tell me how fun that 1600HP GTR is in traffic, or anything else for that matter.

I am glad everyone is not getting the RCF just like the NSX in it's day, but now 10 years later EVERYONE is saying it is one of the best cars ever made, when it was new everyone said the Supra will kill it and the NSX sucks, I think this car may do the same thing.

You read my mind. I've always wanted the RC-F to remain exclusive & few in numbers. It can never be a good thing if it became as common as a Civic.
