So I remembered Lexus made this car as a V8 and once I saw it again. I feel in love. Still waiting on my C8 Z06, but for now this is the love of my life. lol thanks for the love.

I'm thinking of taking the plunge on one of these RCFs. Your car looks incredible. Ever considered some weight reduction? I'm guessing the Niche wheels are forged. But you can save another 35 pounds of unsprung mass with lightweight rotors. Not to mention 100 or so pounds from new front seats, 35 pounds with a new battery, and another 70+ pounds from suspension, carbon fiber hood, and sound deadening removal. a 3,700 pound RCF pushing 440WHP on fat tires is hitting 60mph in like 3.7 seconds man!

The major killer of these cars is the drivetrain. Lexus let its customer base know years ago they aren't making cars for performance anymore, just fuel economy and ride. If they made a manual six speed version then it would be worthy of that f badge, a real waste of money honestly.
@hewantsmoke836 ай бұрын
I mean if you say so. I do agree with it being manual. I really don’t like automatic sport cars but I know what I bought and I’m happy with what it does. I’ve bought countless cars and fixed them up. This one does under perform stock but it’s rare and with the right mods you can make any car perform. I’m not sure if you are aware of this but if not now you are. Also this is my daily. I wasn’t supposed to do much to it at all. But I got bored waiting for my C8 Z06 to be built. So I figured I’d fix this up since I sold my Z51 C8 corvette and my Camaro. Also this car beats most V8s right now and it doesn’t even have headers yet. So you saying what I’ve done is a waste of money is a lie. Do you own an RCF? Have you modded and RCF? Do you even have a modded car or have you full modded a car before? Just curious cause you talk like you’ve had one, did the work, and was disappointed. Or are you just here to give your opinion? Curious to know.
@Alexander567206 ай бұрын
Sure have. I’ve modded Lexus’s in particular and the headers seem to be a weak point from factory. Both opinion and experience. Lexus/ Toyota in general have always been limited by transmission but for a daily that isn’t horsepower oriented, makes a cool car.
