Those are gorgeous and exotic looking. The lights compliment all the body curves the RCF has to offer. It takes twice as long to wash than the 370z, but it's a joy.

After 1 month/ 1000 miles ownership, here are my likes and dislikes:

Pros: NA V8 growl (it has secondary intake that opens up after 3500 rpm), racing seats and stitching, Lexus interior, overall aggressive design, well planted during turns, HUGE brembo brakes, quad exhaust staggered styling, headlights and exclusivity. FREE FOOD/SNACKS AT LEXUS DEALER

Cons: attract TOO much attention, especially with molten pearl. Too many gears. Low end torque. A bit heavy but is very planted and corners better than the Z. Need bigger stock rear tires, only managed 12.7 1/4 mile with the pss 275/35/19. Only 1 center arm console power outlet. Insurance went up 16%

Neutral: flooring the gas even at 55 mph would leave a strip of 15ft tire marks. It's cool at first but tires will get expensive. Hopefully upgrading to 305s would solve the issue.

What I miss about the 370: able to throw it around with ease and the 7AT feels more connected to the road especially in manual mode.
