Is that 37.8 a slicktop or a sunroof car? I'm thinking slicktop.
"Its optional torque-vectoring differential is effective if somewhat synthetic-feeling: Some might prefer the more honest action of the standard Torsen unit. In any case, be sure to upgrade the brake pads and/or fluid for track outings, as the RC F's pedal grew long in about a lap and a half of MMC's 3.6-mile track. Also, skip the sunroof option if you're over 6 feet tall and plan on wearing a helmet, because your melon won't fit."

36.5 with the moon roof.

Numbers are fine and dandy, but don't mean anything when you have sat in the car.

None of this means anything to me. I sat in the RC F and I sat in the Corvette, plus I actually track my IS F. My head is less than a finger thickness from the headliner in the RC F with a sunroof. I have more room than this with my IS F.

Agreed. Need the sit in the car to get a feel for it. Like trying a nice pair of shoes 👍

I picked up my RC F this afternoon (w/sunroof) and can tell you if you're over 5'10" you will not fit in it w/ a helmet......unless you drive w/ the bro lean and seat way back. The Bell Sport line of helmets will likely be your best bet if you're close. Open face helmets will definitely be a no go since they tend to ride taller. I'm 5'10" and there's some rubbing action going on when I'm in a track position. Some of the newer carbon helmets from Stilo would work too.....but those start at around 1500$. Thought I'd share.
