    Agree - there are some pretty 3 / 4 series cars out there.

    I still love the M4 and on the whole, the M4 has less to dislike about it - a very pretty car. However, from certain angles the RCF definitely wins.

    Last weekend, two incidents that I noticed - 1. Dacia ‘ Danduster’ came flying up behind me, flashing his lights. I initially thought he was angry. Then I spotted him giving me the thumbs up. The passenger was leaning out of the car filming on their phone. 2. A guy in Aberystwyth came running across the street to talk to me about the car. 3. Actually No 3. Armed response unit loved the car too. Female PC preferred it to @Mark G‘s gorgeous GSF. Sorry Blue. I did buy him lunch to make Blue happier 😜 RCFs turn heads like no other cars I’ve owned. It could be the “Oh my god, that’s ugly” but I doubt it.

    At the weekend, whilst filling up with fuel, a Merc coupe pulled in - one of the later generation turbo V8s. OMG - what a dirty noise - epic!! I can’t see an F ever competing with that sound. Mind you, when he tried to impress with a quick exit, the torque proved too much and the traction control but an instant stop to all his fun 😂 Edit: I will add, I spotted him taking several sneaky looks at the F - probably thought it was a Vauxhall Calibra!

    Yeh, I agree. Having said that, all of the above seem to now be struggling to get good noise out of Turbo engines. Mercedes however.........
  7. Flytvr
    Yes, but that was in private, and this is a public forum

    Apart from the LFA, I’ve driven all F cars and heard most custom exhausts. None are perfect. The nearest to perfection has to be the LC500 V8. I suspect it’s not an easy task getting an exhaust system that sounds good but doesn’t suffer from resonance/ drone.

    Grey and red ican be a great combination, but the Lexus red interior is too much for me, but each to their own 👍 Anyway, welcome to the club!

    LC wheels are horrendous (imho). The LC does sound good - better than a stock F car. However, it won’t compete with a QS (which comes out at about 98dB)
  11. Flytvr
    Yep.

    Neh mate - can’t get my head around that. If they can redesign the dash, stick in a different screen - they had the budget to sort out an exhaust. Proper exhaust or big ‘tele’ in dash - I know what most of us would prefer!! It probably means that us petrol heads are the minority of world wide RCF owners. Therefore exhaust noise is not important and Lexus are catering for the majority.

    Lexus don’t listen to their customers Yes, stick a larger screen in the new RCF, yes offer some new colours, etc. BUT, how about sticking on a switchable exhaust!! Surely Lexus know how to do this?

    Actually, looking at this, It's not even a facelift. They've simply offered a base model with cheap wheels and horrid paint. So, in terms of Ford, the RCF range now includes the new L model (in addition to the existing LX And GHIAX) 😀

    Oh, and the bigger screen...... just a larger target to throw your shoe at when the system inevitably frustrates you! 😜
  16. Flytvr
    Depends how many new ones actually sell.
  17. Flytvr
    Brilliant Ratty. THANK YOU!!
  18. Flytvr
    Nope. You ever met @Mark G?

    Mountain road from Elan Valley to Aberystwyth. Beautiful location

    Out of the regular suspects, there’s only one TVD equipped car piloted by someone who knows his onions. He swears by TVD. I trust his opinion.

    They said it was fast 😙

    Dry on Sunday

    Weather was yuck

    M4 is rapid (as we all know). However, on a public road, M4 v RCF / GSF, I can’t see there being a winner (other than the law). Given your average driver, in the wet, I honestly don’t think an M4 would know which way an RCF / GSF went. I’m not a capable driver, but what impressed me most about the RCF was the wet weather handling. Never once did my car (unexpectedly) break traction. I was told by another driver that TVD does allow some tail happy behaviour in the wet. ISF / GSF / RCF straight line performance, not much in it (as you would expect).

    How do I report this thread? I’m having a wee wee in the background!!
