Replace the Z

I hope the suspension/ride is more compliant than the previous IS-F. Of course, I'm only quoting what I've read and saw on a Top Gear test, but the ride was said to be punishing. Seems odd for a Lexus..?

That does seem like an odd description. I've driven a 2008 IS-F and the ride was far from what I'd call punishing.

The ride is pretty harsh given its a Lexus. I do feel every bump and imperfection on the road and the ride is fairly stiff. I just watched the comparison between the RCF and M3 on YouTube by Motortrend, and they said the rcf suspension is much softer than the M3 lol. The lap time was only 3/10 second slower.
Coming from the 370, ride quality is improved in a sense the cabin is dead quiet with no rattles and the sound of the v8 when the air intake flap opens up is pure bliss.
