People with the rr supercharger, what 0-60 numbers are you pulling now?
I'm just curious since I couldn't really find anything. How much of a improvement with the supercharger with 0-60 times and what quarter mile times?

So my friends drive bmw m3. One is pushing around 600 up and the other around 500. From a roll starting from 10 to 20 or 40, I beat them till around 100. After 100 they creep. I thought they were going to demolish my car but if they screw or **** up, they won't be able to catch me unless we go 3 digits. Think my stock rcf is way faster then 4.3 seconds. Vbox measured it around 4.0. Here are the m3s that I have raced

I have a lot of friends who drive m3s. The red one below never raced but the blue one behind it I did who is pushing 600 hp.. He was shocked how good my RCF runs with only a exhaust

Simple, it was Clarkson driving the RCF who gave the worst /biased review with zero positive things to say about it (calling buyers idiots) and refused to allow a Stig lap You seriously think he was interested in launch the RCF properly? Also, I can post at least 4 videos that contradict that.

Don't believe everything you see online, things can be cherry picked to make the RC F look worse than it is. There are also a lot of other factors that don't show on paper. This is probably my favorite review of the RC F. It seems to me to be the most honest and unbiased review I have read (I haven't read all of them out there):

A quote about the M4 vs. the RC F from that review:

A quote about the M4 vs. the RC F from that review:
I was dicing with an instructor-caliber driver in a new-generation M4. As long as the track was dry, I couldn't close the gap, but the minute it was even the slightest bit shiny I saw that back end start wobbling every time he passed the apex. I started making up one car length per turn on the way out and before I knew it he was a small dot in the mirror. That's something the stat sheet can't tell you: Can you trust your throttle application on a wet surface? With the Lexus, the answer is "hell yes."

I had an RC-F and now a competition package M3. Different beasts. Butt Dyno tells me it's a wash. But if you will ask me which car I will buy again, I will go with the M3 because of the size, utility and weight. But that's me. Enjoy your Fs, gents.

Yes, but the RCF is +300lb compared to m3/m4 and that is why it lags behind...

For me personally, I've tried both and in terms of only performance, the M3/M4 walks the RC-F. However, I honestly don't think Lexus really tried to make the M3/M4 killer (or ever claimed that for that matter). They could've easily cut that weight/stiffen the suspension but they didn't because they knew that the people who buy their cars don't go after ONLY performance. Luxury and comfort matter to me and that's what the M3/M4 lacked so badly.
Performance only? The M3/M4 takes it but not by much. Overall better car? Easily the RC-F.
No offense to anyone, but let's be honest - very few of us are going to drive the car hard enough for that difference between the M and F to really matter. It's honestly reminiscent of those M guys who buy their cars just for bragging rights about the ultimate driving machine. Driver mod matters more than anything so instead of arguing paper numbers just go out and enjoy your car whether it's an M or an F lmao

Like I said above, there are at least 3 - 4 examples that completely contradict what Clarkson showed. You can believer whatever side you want, but it did happen a few times. Again, as a disclaimer this does not mean M4 is not quicker. It is quicker, no doubt. You disputed what spam89 said, but I am saying it is well within a decent margin to sway with better driver especially considering the 300+ lbs difference.
(Speedo video of RCF doing 276 km/h when the M4 is doing 278 km/h)

I have driven both the m3 and the rcf since my friends have m cars. The performance wise, can not even detect a difference. In the real world where these 500+, 600+ horsepower m3 get decent trsction, my RCF will pull on them till pass 100.

M3 -184 in long, 74 in wide, 56 in high
RC-F - 185″ L x 72-73″ W x 55″ H
You are correct but the M DEFINITELY feels smaller than F. If you want to argue, go drive an M3 or better yet own one. And most of the videos you posted are showing the 2015 regular M4. Most newer M3/ M4 owners now own the competition package that has more horsepower, more traction and more performance than the 2015. BMW has improved them over the years. This is the same model that demolished the GS-F in one Youtube video on the autobahn. Stock for stock the ZCP M3/M4 will walk an RC-F from a dig and will destroy an RC-F from a roll. And I am not a bandwagon M3 fan to disclaim.

Glad you are very happy with your trade-in, but no thanks. Competition package existed at the time I purchased my RCF (DougHI already had one and you can find his posts on it) and was very thoughtful about where to spend my money. While GSF does not automatically equate to an RCF (tested high speed acceleration shows 1 second difference), I am happy with my slower RCF. From my personal perspective, I could not live with that noise (that is just me). I wanted a high-revving V8 with potential to make it more rewarding and the options were very limited in that realm. One youtube vlogger went back to E92 M3 from M3 F80 because he could not stand the noise (obsessed garage). Just my personal opinion of sound being more important to me than numbers. Enjoy your car.
