what the Rcf need and everyone want is more power and less weight. Maybe even reprogram the tranny to shift faster without lag. Launch control would also be fabulous. All the rest are completely for more profit only to benefit the bottom line

Well actually, aside from the manual transmission, what I would really like is the ability to tune. Then I could throw a turbo on this beast. 400 pounds heavier than an M4? Who cares when you're putting out 800+ HP. The wieght will actually help with traction. Plus, I could then remove the speed limiter and peg the speedo for the first time.

also the car probably feels stronger because when a flash is done the adaptive system is erased, a battery pull does the same thing, I can feel a difference for about 2 weeks, then the hum drum daily drive becomes adapted and the car lags again.

Having moved from a 2015 bone stock RC-F to a 2016 Charger Hellcat I can attest to the fact that the Lexus has it all over the Chrysler product when it comes to selection of materials and fit and finish. That being said, the Hellcat stirs my blood in a way the RC-F never did and is a much more fun vehicle to drive with launch control and the way they laid out access to the vehicle performance settings and performance indicator pages allowing you to view metrics such as engine horsepower and torque production, G-force, etc.
As mentioned, the Hellcat is a straight-line car and is not all that good in the twisties. At some point, no doubt, I will get another Lexus but I am enjoying American muscle for the time being.

For me, with cars as with women, I think there is something attractive to be found in all of them.
