Omg could you imagine someone taking this to the track? Lol" {Proceeds to only give it about 60% throttle in the driving portion after not shutting up about european cars, and trashes it the entire time mostly due to his inability to drive}

When I drove an RC F a few weeks ago, I was surprised how comfortable it was. I want to say the ride quality was as good if not better than my IS 300 F Sport. I think the GS would be higher on my list if they were cheaper - if you don't need four doors, it's hard to justify over the RC F, even used. But it's a fantastic car, and if I had the money burning a hole in my pocket, I'd definitely get the GS F over the RC F just for that added practicality.

I have a 2016 Lexus RCF carbon fiber/TVD edition in orange (Molten Pearl). Best car ever for me. Had it for two years and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. High-revving N/A V8, almost 500 HP (with full exhaust), small size, great handling, awesome luxury and reliability. Regarding refinement, the GSF has softer suspsneion/chassis setup (according to the chief engineer) than the RCF and it has a bit more sound insulation for more refinement and better cruising.

It also took me a while to get used to how to drive this car on the edge, but man it's like a glove now, I feel I'm part of the car and it responds so nice, I never get tired of driving off in this thing. It is the perfect combination of speed, handling and comfort. I'm not 13 anymore so I con't care about the stats of German cars that tend to start breaking down soon after buying them until you sell them, this car is gas, oil and tires for years, nothing to worry about so going on a long trip is no worries at all.
