Need advice on torque vectoring diff
Hey guys - I'm about to pull the trigger on a '15 RCF - has all options besides the diff option. How important is this option? I do not track....
I can only speak for myself. I absolutely love it! I do not track my car either, but i find the extra assistance in helping the rear end of this big coupe turn very helpful even on the streets. Could I survive without it? Yes, but I also do love the carbon fiber bits

I'm sure there are many other threads on this subject too. I just had this one handy.

I have the TVD and on turns it is definitely noticeable. You can feel the power shift to the rear wheel. Its pretty obvious if you go and test drive a non TVD. It isn't something that you need to have. If you can find a good deal on one without it doesn't really matter bc the RCF is still considered a great car regardless.

Thanks guys - I think I'm going to hold out for a vehicle with the TVD - the one irritant is it seems most sales folks don't understand this - most responses are it has a LSD! Even ads don't really specify this. There's definitely some deals to be had so I'm being patient.
My other cars are a '15 M4 and '14 S5 so I really need an RCF!
Many thanks for all your input...

You have to play with the settings. Normal=understeer, slalom = controllable oversteer, track = neutral and balanced. Of course, any of these settings can be combined with eco, normal, sport and sport+. I find track at home of the freeway and slalom on the streets

You must love coupes. I had a 2015 S5 as well and its very different from the RC-F. Do you have the torque vectoring in your S5 as well? I did and I felt it when I was taking corners and sweepers. I am not sure about the RC-F TVD as I have not driven one. All I can say is that the RC-F torsen rear is more playful than the S5 with TVD. I think this is more about the understeer in AWD vehicles but am not sure.
