I hope the race info will translates into more sales of the F cars and hopefully make the next generation of F cars better on the street!!!

Not a good idea unless they can chop off 300-400 lb, because the RC F is heavy as a Pig compared to its competitors.. That's the only complain that everyone reviewing the RC F has.

im sure they will. Just like they updated the IS-F, theyll make some changes to the RC-F as the years go by.

Yet it competes head-to-head with the competitors...the weight comment is ridiculous, overstated-- a me-too inclusion by this reviewer.

Expect to see great things from the RC F used to race in the states. I would expect a 1,000 lb reduction in weight for the racer.

The RC F is a unique machine, and in many regards it performs outside of contemporary thought about how a performance luxury coupe should work. Those of you who really have no familiarity with this great machine need to log serious time before you buy into the editorial BS about weight. An experienced driver in a TVD can execute some amazing roadwork.

The lighter M4 has underperformed many times in comparative tests with the RC F.

Can you please provide me links where the M4 had unperformed? In every review Ive read or seen on YouTube the M4 has spanked the RC-F. I wont believe that all the reviewer were BIASED in that respect. Even that being said i pulled the trigger on a RCF
