Time for something different.

That is cool. Wish it wasn't 3900 pounds - nonetheless badass

Sweet car! Out of curiosity, what made you go with this over the new M4?

jflogerzi · 11-19-2014, 10:21 AM

Wow congrats. What made you go from the twin to that car. Why not a c7,m3/m4, 4c?

hahha, so true.

Congrats, but did you even consider the 4C? The 4C seems more in line with what the 86 is all about. The 4C carbon fiber body shell, midengine, and exotic good looks.

Slightly heavier? The damn thing is 4000 pounds. It has absolutely nothing in common with the FRS except being a RWD coupe and having similar suspension design. Macpherson struts up front and multi-link in the rear? They market it as double wishbones in the rear, but I'm not sure if that's true, because they said the same about the FR-S, which really has a multi-link setup instead.

I can't afford one, but I wouldn't buy one even if I could. For that much money, there are so many other possibilities... C7 Stingray? LS7 FRS? LS7 RX7? LS7 S2000? Turbo FRS? Turbo S2000? Used NSX? Used NSX + a huge turbo? Evo 9 with a huge turbo? Used GTR? Supra?

:P

The back seats are just as tight in the RC as the FR.-S.

Doesn't the RC have double wishbone front suspension? It is definitely a touring car rather than a sports car, but if the engine is anything like the ISF, I'm sure it will still get the adrenaline pumping.

Cayman S is around the same price. At that price point many outstanding choices. Good luck with the new ride. should be a blast

Sovereign · 11-19-2014, 11:30 AM

Nice, but why not go with the ft1 all you have to do is wait a little and if the rumored price is 60k it falls in the same price range as the rcf. On top of that you get more hp and torque, still keep it in the family, and it's a supra goddamit! You also get the toyota emblems as well so you wont have to do a swap like a lot of people here do for the scion badge.

I was thinking the same thing. For that money I would go for the Cayman S.

So many options up in that price range.

I wouldn't say no to a RC-F if offered, however! Enjoy the ride OP. I am a bit jelly.

I like the RC-F and all but for that money i would have to go with a R35 GTR or maybe a Supra with some cash left.

This must be the part where everyone and their mother comes in and says they can do better with the amount of money OP is spending.
