Default Rear Steering

Picked up my RC 350 F Sport last weekend and I have got to say that the rear steering is absolutely fantastic in this car. I test drove the 435i prior to getting my RC and this car just feels so much more fun around all the corners. For anyone looking at a RWD, I'd say spend the money on the VGRS+DRS, it's worth it.

I'm looking for a car that is fun to travel in, that you can power through the turns, handles decreasing radius curves with ease and is a blast to drive at 45-55 mph. While I wouldn't expect an RC F-Sport to compete with the S2000 I currently drive (not comfortable for travel), I am looking for a car that makes me want to play with the engine. Does the F-Sport do that?

I may be speaking out of turn here, but I have a GS F Sport, which has the same engine as the RC F Sport, and the engine definitely likes to be revved through corners... if that's what you're asking. Revving the engine is one of the most fun things about the GS... especially in Sport + mode.

I can't couch for the s2000 personally but I'm having a blast with my f sport. I've been taking much tighter turns without that feeling that I'm going to lose control. take it for a spin and try it out. I could really tell the difference between the AWD and the RWD with DRS; not sure what the difference would be with the regular RWD
