    It's a great car. I miss mines and as of late the RCF's have become even more rare. Everyone loves to throw numbers and liked to remind me of "faster" options as if most owners of these highly expensive cars were racing through the streets every day trying to beat track times. Hell, i am actually looking into buying a lightly used track edition RCF as we speak.

    Wait, what? Lexus gets what? Its a mishaped blob and the only angular parts are the worst part of the design. Lexus doesnt get anything design wise, since they stopped copying mercs. The RC is as overcharged stylistically as the Supra, hence why it lacks presence after you saw it for a few times.

    ⁠@@AI-qd4vbUtter nonsense, style is a preference so you can say whatever you like about the car… But we aren’t going as far to say that it’s pretty much an ugly car ESPECIALLY with the shit BMW and Mercedes put out nowadays design wise. If the Lexus RC F is a “overcharged style”, at least it’s unique unlike BMW and Mercedes. Those 2 brands haven’t put out a good looking car since they recently changed their design language. Audi has been the only German brand that has quite nice designs. Again, it’s an opinion thing so it’s no point for back and forth argument about this debate.

    There's no doubt in my mind that we are not only going bull, but BTCis going nuclear. A lot of people are wondering if now is a good time to buy because of where the price is at right now. I'd say it's outrightly wrong to just sit back hodl and wait maybe incur some losses along the line, that's a wrong mindset for an investor because as an investor finding ways to always increase and stack up more coins thereby making prof!ts should be the way of life, even experienced traders are in a doubt to take long or short position. I have been more skillful than lucky to be honest also thanks to Daniel wright who trained me as my initial investment was multiplied so much In two months.

Ever since Thomas brought James along, they are hilarious, informative, the chemistry is great. True friendship. Both wonderful car enthusiast. High production quality, great cinematics. Y’all could easily get to 10,000,000. I also like how they don’t over saturate the YT with content. Channels that upload 20 times a day just to get an extra buck end up dying because people lose interest. When we check for a new upload and one isn’t there, we don’t care. We’re left with suspense and will check everyday until a new upload has arrived. It’s worth it.

Everything they say about the cars comes across like they really thought about it, as opposed to "bro, this paint pops, like in some light it does but not in other light." "Now let's talk about whether the satellite radio can rewind for 20 minutes, and if we remember, we'll discuss the ride quality in the last three seconds." I live cars, and that channel bored me to tears.

    Lexus was smart to make the RC when it was first introduced, they needed a sub-hundred-grand GT coupe and used extra parts from the IS, ES, and GS to develop this. Problem with the RCF Track Edition was that it’s not focused enough to be a track car. The carbon fiber panels barely shaved off any weight and it still keeps most of the luxury bits from the RC 350. The V8 is also pretty underpowered compared to the competition. For 100k, this is encroaching Porsche GT4 territory and the GT4 is simply a way more focused track car. It’s still a pretty damn good GT car. However, if I wanted a GT car from Lexus, I’d rather buy the LC500 for nearly the same price.

  • @AI-qd4vb

    This is a compact coupe. Its based on the IS and uses all the bin parts from that car. Its got nothing from an ES which is an entirely different platform and I doubt it shares anything more than an anecdotical percentage of parts with the GS which is a different segment. Interior, tech, powertrain, all comes from the IS. Thats also one of the reasons its so heavy and uninspired performance wise. The IS was designed with the hybrid powertrain in mind and very little thought was put into weight balance or chasis stiffness for performance applications. You cant always reinforce a car to handle the power the performance segment needs. Thats why they didnt even bother into making the is500 into a performace version and instead just went with the "zen" approach of just making it a sleeper V8.

    His description of the on-track handling gives me flashbacks. Years ago, I owned an E36 M3, and I got to instruct a student on a track in a 1st gen IS300. You know, the one that was gonna put the BMW 3-series (including the M3) in its place. It was almost exactly like this RC F: Up to about 8/10, it felt very good. Lovely engine, good seats, good build quality. Nice compromise between ride and handling. Typical Lexus. But once you started approaching its limits, it got squirrely. Like, you could go around the same corner at the same speed three times in a row, and it would be like three different cars: one time it would plow, next time the back end would step out, and the third time it would do both. The M3, OTOH, you could drive right up to (or even slightly beyond) its limits, and know exactly what it was going to do next.

    @@person.w9780 I disagree. The current problem is that you're essentially paying a premium for a car with performance not befitting its price tag and design language. However, price being equal or even undercutting its competition (as lexus was originally intended to do), then the choice becomes far more subjective and preferential. Generally speaking, no true F car has ever preformed head and shoulders above its competition on a track.

    I bought a 2020 RCF and got it for around $68k. For what it is, it's awesome! I never looked at a car like an m3/4 or anything of that nature. I don't want something that is fast in a straight line or take to a track... I want a comfortable cruiser that is typical lexus/toyota reliability and when I put my foot down I hear the 8 cylinder. As cool as the Track edition or Fuji edition is, it's to my not worth $100k... or at least I would not spend that much for this vehicle. I'd look at a Porsche no questions. IF however they would have bumped up the power by 100hp for the track edition and done some other stuff it might be more worth it... I love the CF even though it looks boy ricer to me in certain areas, but you can't get past the fact it's the same engine, same body style and overall same infotainment..etc, and or actually LESS options for the car, and paying more. I LOVE the CCB but that can be changed for two piece rotors at a later time. The all red interior is way too much for me. It's typical lexus styling gone too far. It looks tacky and when I sat in one at the dealer when I was buying mine it was overwhelming the amount of red inside. I LOVE my rcf though. But I would never buy the track edition... just way too expensive for what you are getting.

Alas time has gone on and it didn't receive any meaningful updates to the base trim. Off topic that outro was hilarious. XD

It is certainly not the best on paper but if you're looking for something more than capable to have a fun time with at the track that will also not be a nightmare to own long-term, this is what you want to buy.
