Agree, 3900 pounds is too high for a sports coupe, but Lexus is trying to make it a LUXURY sports coupe so you need all the sound deadening, trim, sun roof, fancy stereo. Having said that, the 3800+ pound GT-R seems to handle alright and the last gen CTS-V at over 4000 did alright too. I think it's more a function of power/weight and traction and this new RC-F has much more HP and much better rubber.
If I wanted to buy a lightweight sports car with more performance orientation, I'm sure we can all agree a C7 Z06, GT-R, 991 GT3, etc. all outperform the RC-F and M4. Those were designed up as sports cars whereas the M4 and RC-F were designed as luxury coupes that were tweaked to be sporty.
