But to circle back, it's a tall order for the RC-F to be near the M4 in weight. Color me impressed if they can make it 3500-3600lbs
C&D tested IS350 F-Sport at 100lbs over 335i... Thats around 3% heavier.

So we will see... with an V8, RC-F vs M3 difference might be bigger than that.

7800 rpm rev ceiling and the torque curve falling off like that just means tons and tons of tuning potential. 600hp tuned M3/M4s in 5... 4... 3...

If Lexus released these figures everyone would say its underpowered and it's a danger to merge in traffic.
