Do you guys regret not buying the rc f instead of the rc 350? I don't, I love my car

theres always those thoughts of regrets when there is a better upgrade for the car you bought but i always confirm i made the right choice with the RC-350 with the following :

1) $$$$$$
2) Everywhere i go people think its the RCF so in general our cars look just as good lol
3) Do i really need all that power as a daily driver?
4) Leaves a option to look forward to down the road

I regret it last week since i went from an ipl q60 to rc350 f sport. Then again, the more time i spent driving it the more reasons i have to forget about the other car. With a few slight mods it will last a while. Moreover it comes to what your needs not your wants.

I would like to have more horsepower, but not a V8. I feel like V6's can produce more nowadays

I will never use the v8 full power band, will never drift it. Sinth v8 wasn't a considered option. Most people can't tell the difference between an rc-f and my f-sport .

I don't. I looked at the RCF, and felt if I had over 467 ponies on tap I would most likely use them, and therefore get a bunch of speeding tickets, which would lead to losing ones license.

I have a slight regret. 2 times now I hit the pedal to the floor and came away disappointed. This car does not pull as strong as my 07 GS350.
Looking at the discount I got for being an employee, I could have handled the F payment. Plus, the seat in the F is more comfy.

But its a slight regret. I am digging my car. Got it lowered last night. Liking it more today.

My previous two cars were an M3 and a 350Z. I definitely miss the power but love the looks, ride, and AWD of the 350. Maybe in the future if F demand falls a bit, I may try to upgrade.

None!! For that money I would have honestly waited and bought the 16 Shelby GT350 with 550 HP and saved several thousands
