One thing we do know is there is lots of optimism here about the RC being quite a car. November is the best guess for deliveries.
The RCF should be in country in September.

The 2014 C63 AMG squeezed out a 4.1 for the Top Gear boys. We run a 4.2 on a good day. Where is the big difference in straight line performance?

I hear u but from what I have read (not experienced) and that is comparing stock cars so that is why I said "Bring it"...

The ISF will beat it on the track as well. Lots of horsepower without the grip spells displaced power.

I'd pick the RC-F just for exclusivity

If you're picking the best time for the IS F, then you also need to pick the best time for the C63, which has been tested as low as 3.7. That being said, they are both very fast, great handling cars that are better than 99.9% of the other cars on the road, so you can't go wrong with either! (I owned an IS F and currently have a C63 Coupe.)

RC-F: Better handling, better driving dynamics, more durable and better quality, exclusivity and more exciting to drive on twisty roads.
Add better interior to the RC-F?

Yep. They are very similar to those of the LFA.

Both are winners and people will choose based on their preferences. The sound of AMGs alone is intoxicating especially with an aftermarket exhaust.

The new 4.0T won't have the aural bliss the NA 6.2 does though
