Hello Gentlemen,
This is my first post and thread and hopefully wont be the last thread I make in this forum

So for those of you who actually have RC-F or officially ordered it,
What did you test drove before pulling the trigger on RC-F?
What you didn't like about the car you tested and why you chose RC-F over the rest of the shopping list.

I'm looking for luxury unique GT coupe that really have high driving experience rather than just press the pedal and go (yes I was pointing on M4) so I'm looking at
RC-F which have base price of 62,400
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 base price rumors say 52,000
Maybe the new Infiniti Q60 "IF" they finally made an option that have V8

Did any of you test drove the new S550 mustang fully loaded? how did you like the interior?

The GT350 is going to be one crazy track monster. It is going to rev to 8200 rpm from a 5.2 Liter V8 with a flat plane crank. It is a more singular-purpose car a la Camaro Z/28. It is going to put down serious lap times that will put in the super car leagues. I wonder if they have stripped out the backseats in the GT350?

RC-F is more luxury 2+2 sports car similar to an M4. However, it goes about it completely different way. M4 is about midrange way of torque while RC-F is all about N/A high revs since its power delivery is linear all the way to redline with over 89% of min. peak torque available from 4800 rpm all the way to 7300 rpm.

The GT350 have backseats but Ford said its not direct competitor of Z-28 Camaro. In fact, Ford will release Shelby GT350R to complete with the Z28 and they said it should be around 70k range. They also said that it will be striped down for weight reduction, bigger brakes, and aerodynamics touches all over the body.

I saw M4 few days ago but I was quiet disappointed and almost shake my head. All that torque and doesn't have a true GT sound?
Matter of fact, my buddy have BMW 1M, I know its different car but both of these cars have the same badge and made for one propose. 1M rattles over bad road and rattle gets nosier in heavy rain..

I prefer RS5 over M4 if you ask me but the lack of torque of RS5 is bad, very bad for V8 supercharged.

The RS5 is N/A high-revving V8. It has 317 ft-lbs of torque, but it does not matter since it is a high-revving engine so it is still fast due to an enormous powerband. However, the weight of 4000+ lbs with so little low end torque is what kills it.

But yeah, Car and driver said, only RS5 can match the RC-F's V8 snarl.

Wife went to BMW "M school" at the South Carolina proving ground. She drove M3, M4, and M5 in anger all day.

We bought the RC F
