The E90 M3 with DCT and full fluids is 3700 pounds. The old IS-F with sun roof and full fluids AND spare tire and jack is 3800 pounds.
The new M4 is 176 pounds lighter than the old M3 according the BMW. How is 3700 - 176 = 3300?
If the RC-F really is 3900 pounds with 480 hp vs. the M4 which I think is more like 3500 pounds, performance will be quite similar.
Oh, also, for the first time, Lexus will actually use PSS standard instead of RE050 which suck and always leads to crappy #s on the magazines AND, they will use the same width tires also 255 up front and 275 in the rear instead of using a size smaller like in the past.
I've got my bag of popcorn and anxiously waiting the comparos...

I like how you put things into perspective! Isn't the E60 M5 way more than 3,900 pounds, with 500hp? It beats an E90 M3 around a track with less weight, no? The weight arguement is a mute point. Folks who are crying about styling, and the 8-speed auto, however, have a point.
