Koji Sato liked my post. Was pleasantly surprised. For context, once Yukihiko Yaguchi retired, Koji Sato took over the F brand and RCF chief engineer role and developed the RCF track edition and oversaw the 2020+ RCF updates.

That's nice Rolla.

Sad to see the F brand disappear; It did create unique cars with unique identity and emotions in a sea of similar cars and builds. Great build, great engines and great feel.

I did mod the $hit out of my GSF early on in its life with FBOs, but little by little I started going back to OEM, because it just did not feel right, accelerate right or drive right. I wanted more and wanted perfection,but it was already perfect the way it is out of the factory. Now the car is almost back to original with just some leftovers (as in my signature) and an axle-back only for aesthetic purposes to compliment the Tom's body kit, and not because of performance or sound. Everytime I drive the car it puts a big smile and grin on my face, specially when others think they can pass you or get a jump on you and you surprise them; the look on their faces afterward is priceless and on open road it is just smooth as silk and nothing out these, beit Mercedeses, BMWs, Audies or others beat its feeling and sensation.
