Thanks everyone for the compliments.
Loving the car and will love it more once I get the ride right.
Been having a problem with vibrations. Found out yesterday 2 of the new tires are defective. Bought them from Tirerack and they have promised to replace the tires at no cost to me.
Once thats all done, I will be ripping and running like normal for a sport coupe.

Black Cherry is looking good! I can't wait to lower my car. I'm waiting for RS-R springs to go on sale for the RC350. I might consider these springs too as long as they hold up well for the RC even though they're made for the GS.

Its been 2 months with The Black Cherry and I love the look of the car. However, I become more frustrated every day the car doesn't have the same pull as my old 07 GS. I drive the highway every day going to work. There are times I want to cut someone off then punch it so they can't say anything about the maneuver. In the GS I was gone and out of sight in seconds. In this car people get pissed because I cut them off.
I find myself driving like an old fart more and more. Just because it doesn't have that pull.
I don't need 500 hp. But I do need enough power to enjoy my car.
I have never driven on the highway in sport mode. I'm afraid of doing that. Doesn't seem natural. But I'm gonna try to see if it makes a difference.

I agree the car needs more power. It really feels heavy. I used to own a 1997 SC300 and don't recall having the same feeling. When I put the RC in sport mode, it seems to help a little bit. I still love the car though just hope it has a little more power.

I was dosappointed with how slow it is as well. Its just too heavy. It needs to go on a summer shred. Or you can throw on a takeda intake and an exhuast -once one comes out. I threw on the takeda today. Makes a HUGE difference imo. Especially in sport mode. I actually get excited when I give it gas. Before, not so much. Cant wait for an exhuast

Nice wheels
Hey Ice, I saw your car in person like a week ago at the dealershop, made me stop my RC to check out your rims looks real nice in person and photos, I'm looking for wheels too! I dont like the "upgraded" FSport wheels and they stink to clean.....

It looks incredible (although you should take more in the sunlight). I had a Mazda RX-8 Shinka with the Black Cherry Micah. That color and the USB are by far my favorite color cars I've owned.
