Nah, not really. Maybe because I've owned an SC300, 2 SC430's, and RX300 and 3 GSs. I've been Lexus loyal. Do you homework and you will see how long I've been in CL. It isn't brand specific. I think you have a great car. It's just that I don't think you need to have to prove it at every stoplight to know it.

Okay, final post in this thread. Ciao.

Yep, it's Very Sneaky Fast. My Viper is so Violent & will throw you against the back of the seat & get all squirrely (because of the torque) earlier today me & my son were in the RCF on the interstate & i was just playin' with it & got on it from 60mph & in just a few seconds we hit 120mph but it's like i said a Sneaky Fast.

Hilarious, and picking an internet fight and trying to show up another must be contributing to your self esteem . . . or making you feel good about yourself at the expense of others . . . or trying to impress others in some weird internet warrior way. Lol, at least that is free! You da man!

Fysisist, enjoy the car!

On the other hand, a guy in an older Hyundai Genesis, I think it was probably the 2011 R-Spec, got the jump on me unexpectedly and I didn't catch him until about 60 - 70 mph, at which point he shut it down, so I figure that was driver error, I F'ed up.

Pretty happy overall, enjoying the F
To the genesis coupe, it was all driver error on your part. As a former owner of a 2010 genesis coupe, they are 316hp dogs. The gearing is terrible and the torque is humorous.

While you may be 500lbs heavier, the 150hp difference should have been able to pull him by you.

Moral of the story...don't let those NA V6s beat you! lol

Good runs bud. Don't be afraid to take on the SRT8's, I've been called out for roll runs by all kinds of them(Chrysler 300, Challenger, Charger, Cherokee) and ALL have seen stock exhaust. Only one Challenger gave me a good run(dead even up to 155), 2015 Scat Pack 8-speed Auto with mods.

And to agree with others on this thread, the F is definitely more capable than people think it is, all thanks to biased reviews.

Fair enough. I posted something else earlier, then on second thought deleted it here. Cars are nice toys, everybody maybe plays a bit differently, so enjoy yours and I'll enjoy mine. Adios.

Yeah, nobody expects that kind of thing from a Hyundai. When a car like that gets the jump it's very difficult to recover from - usually impossible. You lost - because you weren't racing. I actually bought a 2015 Genesis Sedan myself - though mainly for my wife. It's a great car...

I've had a few pretty fast cars. My last was a 600hp Audi S4 that weighed 3100lbs. A LOT went into that car but my wife didn't like being a passenger so it just didn't make much sense to keep anymore. I'm a workaholic and when it comes time to go out - I want my wife to be there - and that's where the E63 came in. She actually picked it out...

THIS plus lots of Renntech stuff...

So as to not derail the tread too much - the RC-F is an impressive car. I've only seen a couple so far but I do like it quite a bit. I have a feeling I'm really going to want a GS-F once I see it on the road. I know it's not going to be an M5 or E63 eater but I bet it'll be the most luxurious fast car you can buy...
