Replace the Z

The ride is pretty harsh just like the z minus the rattling and add ALOT refinement. The sound of v8 and stock quad exhaust is just pure bliss. Will update the in depth performance after break-in.

The one thing I disliked about the new ride is it only has 1 outlet in the center console. So I feel naked driving without my valentine 1 until I tap it with the mirror

I was originally going to hold off purchasing until I need more seats, but the deal is too too good to let go. I also sold the Z in record time ever, 2 days. Didn't want to add more miles until it's worthless.

Nice car !!

Just curious: what model originally was it exactly before getting tuned ??

Looks like a stock RC-F to me.

I was considering the RC-F a few months ago to replace my Z. Cool to still someone actually do it. Hope you like it!

I kinda want to drive one, but I doubt I'd want to spend money on one myself because I'm a dinosaur that prefers manuals. Still a great looking car, and I'm sure it's a blast to drive.

I was just looking at one of these in white with red interior cause I'll be switching cars in a few as well, just feel I need to let it go while its still HOT, low miles and can still get a pretty penny for it. My next 3 choices are:

1:Corvette C7
2:Audi RS5
3:Lexus RC-F

Here's a vote for #1

Haha I'm the opposite, I hate plain colors. Have you seen the molten pearl orange in person? It's pure sex lol
Well make sure the next high performance car you get is reliable. That's why I went with Lexus. Btw, if you search autotrader new cars, there are sooo sooo many white rcf sitting on dealer lots. Great deals can be made!

It originated from the Lexus IS line. The coupes are call RC. The high performance version in called RC-F

Although heavier, it feels more stable in turns and pulls harder than the Z with more power. The refinement coming from the Z is like economy vs business class. Plus, I would need more seats soon and gaining a huge trunk is a plus

considering the op went from AT to AT i can see this as natural choice.

ive seen these cars in person while i was visiting lexus and they look really nice. lexus quality is second to none, and the interiors are super nice. coupes for dd with baby is probably one of the worst choices imho per actual experience (wait till u have to pick up your kid on a stormy day), but hey.. we all live and learn.

get a 4 door dd.

OldGuyFla · 02-15-2016, 11:33 AM

Too many bells & whistles or me, plain & simple with performance.

Just preparing. None in the oven yet. I can't stand 4 doors, rather get SUV if anything. What coupe did you had trouble with moving the baby in and out?
