Of course, that's because that RCF was much more heavy than Type R but was equipped with smaller and also less sticky tires...
In my opinion, the weight is not a problem if the car is equipped with stiffer suspension and decent tires!!!

The additional weight is introduced for more stiff body which provides better and consistent steering/handling on high G cornering!!!
In addition, heavy cars provide more stable and comfortable rides on highways...

However, that AMG is much lighter than RCF but it is equipped with HUGE TRACK tires(275/325 vs 255/275)... So, of course, it will be very fast on the track...
Actually this AMG is not light at all. Its weight is 1640kg!!! (Huge track tires can fix that heavy weight!!!)

You may think the quicker steering the better. In the past I agreed but now I think it's not always true...
G35S, M4 = quicker steering + less accurate and less feedback
GSF = slower steering + more accurate and more feedback
For G35S, M4, like I ride a bicycle FAST on a NARROW road.
For GSF, like I ride a bicycle SLOW on a WIDE road.
For high G or high speed cornering... GSF provides more confidence(or peace of mind), less nervousness and is easier to drive(or modulate)!!!

Besides GT-R is about 2 seconds faster(7.xx vs 9.xx) in 100-200 and AWD, actually GT-R also has much better tires...
RCF : 255/35R19(F), 275/35R19(R) PSS
GT-R : 255/40/R20(F), 285/35R20(R) SP SPORT MAXX GT 600 DSST CTT
GT-R's tires are only slightly wider than RCF in rear but they are installed with 20 inch rims. So they are bigger.
In addition, SP SPORT MAXX GT 600 DSST CTT is just like RE-71R which is much more sticky tire... (no wonder GT-R is much faster on tracks)

I would rather increase the tire width. The shortcoming for increasing tire width is tire weight will be also increased and the additional weight will slow down the car's speed...
I think my GSF is already very fast... It's totally OK to slow down the car a little bit and increase performance, fun and safety on corners!!!

I found a Fit was quite fast DOWNHILL!!!
I think that Fit's tires and suspension should be upgraded... This cheap car can also be very fun even though you just just modify it slightly... In addition, these light-weight cars don't need HUGE tires like my GSF to be very fast on mountain roads!!!
