    Liked and subed! The rcf had a bum start because Clarkson’s negative 2014 review of it not being a close enough successor to the lfa. A bit unreasonable of a ask. Seemed that other car reviewers seemed to respect his opinion so much that no one would give it a fair shake. That na V8 in manual mode is so visceral and and has so much character. It has always deserved a little more respect for being a car that can be driven to track days and never asking for anything but oil changes. Once you guys get into it you’ll probably see that Lexus kept tuners in mind by letting the car be so easy to work on. I have a feeling they knew it would become a future classic. First mods should be exhaust, figs front bushings (a must for cheap money), brake pad upgrade, and oil catch can. The car is neutered by the stock exhaust. The rcf community favors the invidia if you do not want drone and something that can be both quiet and loud when you want. If you don’t care about loud any of the exhausts will be a fine choice and get the blood pumping. You guys are going to love it on track. The car is a bit numb until you’re on track and realize it just needs to be on track to really communicate back to the driver. Glad you mentioned the Supra. I’m hoping the rcf goes down in history as the real mk5.

    I've beat the absolute dog shit out of German cars at thunder Hill last summer. Cars been tuned, lca mounts, brake pads, fbo. I've gotten a ton of compliments on the exhaust note and the handling. While FI cars overheat, this thing just lays down the hammer. My brakes overheated before the engine or trans even ticked up on temp. It was 108°f that day and the rc-f was doing just fine. I was dying though.

    Very nice. I own an RCF (CF/TVD) myself. You also have the TVD with CF package and it really makes the rear end very lively. You should play with the TVD modes especially the SLALOM mode. It is the button in the center console below the traction control button. Use SPORT+ and not SPORT. SPORT+ and MANUIAL mode are the best mode to use. SLALOM mode for TVD to make the steering super quick and sharp. On the track, TRACK mode works best in high speed sweepers and esses. Agreed, it needs an exhaust. It was my first mod I did. It also gains quite a good chunk of wheel HP as well. About +18 whp or so. I have some videos on it as well.

I agree with you as it has been a dream to own as I have owned mine since 2017 (mine is a 2016). This car does not get enough credit. Trust me, it gets better and better with well-thought mods like full exhaust, headers etc. I have quite a few on already and a few more mods coming soon I will be putting on in March timeframe as mine is sleeping through the winter. One is a lower control arm bushings from RR racing and the other is the Harmonic damper pulley (50% rotational inertia reduction). I also will be uploading Dragy GPS timed accelerations soon (have them waiting to be edited) 60 - 130 mph and 1/4 mile etc. Cheers!

    One and only gripe is the dashboard having a physical speedometer rather than the full digital sliding bezel like the LFA. The RC350 has it, I wonder why they didn't do the same wth the F.

    You are correct as IS500 was created really to be an IS350 F-Sport with RCF engine. Even the transmission behaves differently in IS500. RCF has a lot of track stuff the IS500 does not have (hence the much higher price tag especially with the CF/TVD package). I drove an IS500 (own an RCF CF/TVD) and it feels very soft even in SPORT+ and the steering has very little effort (RCF has a heavy steering in SPORT+) and RCF is quite playful that kicks the tail out very easily staying playful anytime you want it to despite being on bigger tires and wider wheels with sticky compound while the IS500 even on narrow tires wants to roll more under power while cranking the steering rather than slide it sideways.

    My daughter came over to me while I was watching this, and yells out "coolest gay couple ever!!!" haha. I have to agree. Love what you guys did to it with the aero and wheel set up. Not sure how I feel about the yellow though.

    Your daughter is amazing. What's her name? She should get a shout out! Yellow is a tough color to love. It works on school buses, parking structures, and those signals telling you to speed up before a light turns red. This color for the RCF is a little more rare and in person looks pretty awesome.

    When it comes to paint, metal needs 1 or 2 more primer layers above the plastic. Also the more you sand and block each layer, the crisper the paint will be. Do 2 more clear coats above manufacture spec

    @@JustDriven I suggested this on other channels, and most of the replies were that it was too heavy to start with, or the platform was aging and would never be up to track spec without a do-over. imho Toyota could have probably spent a tenth of what they spent on the Zupra, stripping down the RCF to make it more hardcore, re-engineering the chassis enough to sharpen it on the track, and beefing/boosting the V8. That would have slayed. You guys are well on your way already, it would be great journey to try to do what Toyota should have done in the first place - the JD Supra!!

    Yah, it is a heavy car. But we are assuming it's why the V8 was the chosen for the power plant. We aren't mad at Toyota for putting together a collaboration with BMW. The new Supra is an amazing machine. It just seemed to us using the RCF platform would have been a no brainer and like you said, less expensive?
