I wrote about it. It was more in how the M2 was so unstable and not properly damped to handle such a technical track. It was springing up and down, rolling/pitching etc. while RCF TE was right behind him in full attack mode. The M2 is supposed to be more focused than the M3/M4. If the driver tried to push it harder. the oscillations and pitch/squat would have gotten worse.

The bolded part above is why I bought mine.
Same. I went into the RC-F expecting a grand touring car and that's exactly what I was welcomed with: fast luxury coupe. Cruise for 4 hours at 100+ mph easy and hop out the other side feeling great. Plus my inner monkee brain will always gravitate towards V8 noises.

I don't think Doug DeMuro is a good reviewer. I is hard to watch him reviewing especially lately, too much physical unnecessary movements.

I wanted a Subaru WRX STI forever. I drove my friends and knew it was the only car for me. I bought a new 2016 STI. I was so excited. After driving that car I could barely walk. My bad back was not suited to that car. I sold it a year later at a big loss. It was a perfect car for the 30 year old me, not the 50 year old me.
In the same boat; 57 years with back pain, but I need to keep driving my RC F.
