I took a Titanium RC 350 F Sports for a drive in December last year, & went for a drive in a White Nova RCF in March this year.
They were both very nice to drive on the road, the RCF did feel better with all the extra bits & V8. The steering wheel in both felt great, the seat feels like it was moulded from my back, and those 255 wide front tyres gives you so much grip & confidence, it feel like it is just stuck to the road. The body is very stiff with good sound proofing, that's why the RCF weighs 1800kg. It's a vehicle that anyone could drive fast. on the road the RCF feels nicer than my ISF. go for a drive yourself, they will surprise you.

I think that you have just answered why... 12L/100km is not bad for sydney driving. also don't use the sports button if you are after economy.

Yes around 8L/100km average on the highway. I use the cruise control, always run the A/C, sunroof and windows closed, & sit on the speed limit. I don't want a ticket. I also have headers and a sports exhaust, which also helps with fuel economy. I always get better fuel economy driving from Canberra to Sydney, than Sydney to Canberra, as it is mostly down hill. (Canberra is 560 metres above sea level, Goulburn is 627 metres above sea level, & Sydney is depending where you go, is down to sea level.) you must have been hooning & having fun to get 10L/100km on the highway, but you did include driving around the coastal towns as well. I'll save most of my hooning for the track, where you can have much more fun.
They do say that Shell 98 is a denser fuel, which will give slightly better fuel economy. as long as you are enjoying the drive who cares about a couple of extra L/100km

Depending on the final date, sounds good to me.

I found the OEM rotors and pads to be good for the road & track. There only down side is they make a lot of dust, and after a track day they are a little noisy. I replaced mine a few years ago with "Project-Mu" B-Spec pads, they feel better than OEM pads, make a lot less dust, and are quite. For the track I have another set of OEM rotors and "Project-Mu" Type HC+ pads, & found them to be very good. They make more dust, & a little bit of noise, but that's ok for the track.

Around the suburb's 14 L/100km. On the highway around 8 L/100km. But the best and most fun was at Eastern Creek, I managed to get 178 km from a full tank, which included about 40 km on the motorway to get there. I like Shell 98 fuel.

Very nice, enjoy. I love the colour.

I've been running Michelin Pilot Super Sports for a couple of years now, 265/35 rear, 225/40 front. found them to be very good. The 35 series on the rears fill the guards very well, better for the speedo and the ride, and they never touch the guards. I will go 245/35 front next time, as the 225 look a little small. I'm also using nitrogen in the tyres, can't tell any difference, but they say it's better for heat.

Thank you. Sadly I will not be able to attend this event, as I have a family get together on the same day. Looking forward to future events.

Depending on date and where it is held, I could be talked into this. Sydney Motor Sport Park sound good.

I have been watching this site for a bit and have decided to join. I have a GS LTuned and a ISF. They are both great vehicle.
