Insane collection. Every lexus fan dream line up. Selling a corvette for an LC 500 is crazy. I love that decision

[@RichWithCars]

For sure that this is def every Toyota/Lexus fans' dream lineup - with the exception of the LFA. I was stunned that he went from LC to C8, then a MONTH LATER back to LC! Kinda shows you how spec sheet numbers aren't always everything. The LC delivers on a different level, even though they're both different types of cars: sports vs. GT car.

[@brianpalay2]

[@hfdegunya]

As an owner of a ISF, RCF and GSF I can tell you that each car is unique in its own way. By far my ISF was the fastest of the three. After owning my ISF for 5 year, for the lack of better term a teenager (I’m 40 years old). Because the ISF shares the same body as the rest of the 2is family, I kind of felt childish when driving it. Cause in point, my oldest daughter has a 2is IS350. Now when it comes to the RCF, let me tell you it looks really good IMO but that sucker drives like a damn boat. It’s slow and not very agile out of the factory. But once I changed out the suspension, added some bolt on, it really changed the dynamic of the car. It turned it into a pretty solid platform for the track IMO. Again not as fast as my FBO ISF. Now my GSF IMO is the best of all 3. You get the luxury and the power of the 2UR. I feel it’s more of a classier Vehicle. Honestly I think my modded GSF handles better than the RCF and ISF. We use it as our family car when we take trips within 300 miles. I’m the tallest (5’9”) in my family of 5 so the GSF has plenty of room to fit us. I guess to sum it up, depending on what I’m using the car for sways my decision on what I’m picking to drive. If I feel like taking some faster spirited drives I chose the ISF. If I plan on taking some curves and have some fun on my local s turn roads I’m driving the RCF. If I’m chilling with the fam bam or going out to dinner with the wifey I’m taking the GSF. Other than the known issues with the 2UR, these things are bullet proof. All of them are light years behind in tech and somewhat underpowered. But, I love them all in their individual ways.

[@bren.nan_]

thanks for your input! i really like these F cars and lexus in general (own a 2015 RX350 and the GSF has been the most enticing to me. glad to hear you enjoy it and it seems the best out of the three for general use! if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the GSF?

[@RichWithCars]

Thanks for your thorough feedback! You and many others keep saying that the ISF is amongst the top F cars. Seems like I need to get my hand on one of those and do a review. But I also see how you prefer the GS-F. Let's not forget that the RC-F chassis is a Frankenstein of 3 different Lexus cars (if I'm not wrong), therefore, it will be a little heavier than needed.

[@dvaritek434]

The gsf has a bespoke chassis and the rcf is a combo of two different ones. Awesome that you could actually feel the difference.

[@beverywhereyouare]

Your ISF ... was faster than your RC-F ? What year were they ?

[@xboxproductions657]

What suspension did you put on your GSF?

[@ServiceProcess]

What a stunning collection. Beautiful. I think the LC is amongst the most beautiful cars ever conceived. In essence the owner seems to be highlighting; beauty, reliability and practicality. Great attributes. I'm stoked that his favourate amongst the three is the LC.

[@RichWithCars]

Yes true in every aspect. He prefers the RC-F, but only because the LC gives him anxiety of where to park, and potentially having dings and/or scratches. If it weren't for that, LC all day. As he said, if he were to just keep one, he'd keep the LC and deal with its shortcomings. That car is just special.

[@waynecearley5365]

I agree, never knew how special the LC was til I saw one in person. Absolutely stunning.

[@salzero1]

All 3 are beautiful. The LC is the nicest of the 3. My dream car is the Lexus LFA. The exhaust on the LFA is music to my ears.

[@ServiceProcess]

@@salzero1 Got to agree re: the LFA exhaust sound. There isn't better.

[@2ZZGE100]

Perfect. Could not agree more on the analysis. Having driven all of them and owning an RCF CF/TVD for 7+ years, you hit the nail right on the head. Read my mind. They all have their advantages. As a legacy M4 competitor, RCF is the sharpest track weapon there that is the smallest, stiffest and best power to weight while LC500 is the most luxurious, bespoke with the most sense of occasion. GSF is like the RCF except it is bigger, more practical, more spacious, compliant for the streets while having the same engine and a lot of the same capabilities.

[@RichWithCars]

Yes - absolutely true. The man has a great lineup of 2UR -GSE vehicles for every occasion. And he does track the RC-F quite regularly, so cool! LEt's not forget he's got another vehicle to toss around on the track too! Did the review of that one - which you can check out in the link below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGnae5-OhbCmZrMsi=jBXH7Z3z9RDAhJUv

Glad you agree with the owner. Unfortunately I don't have enough time behind the wheel of the RC-F to make that observation

[@ARentz07]

This is awesome - dream setup for sure. I wish I could drive a GS F. I own an IS 500 and have driven the LC 500 and the RC F. I thought the LC 500 felt great on track (at the Lexus Performance Driving School) considering its weight. It felt reasonably agile - somewhat numb, but as you said, super controllable. I had a little tail-out moment that was easy to react to, thankfully. Started getting a little too comfortable, I guess. 😅 But as for the RC F, I was fortunate enough to get a nice lengthy test-drive at a dealership, and it was a blast. It feels just a little more connected than my IS 500 does, which makes sense, and I like the gauges and "F" theater about it. The seats are also phenomenal and held me in the best of the three - I'd put the LC's seats above the IS 500's, but the IS's are certainly not bad either - way better than what my wife's 330i M Sport had... Anyway, I don't plan on tracking the IS 500, just enjoying it on some back roads, so I don't know that I need a GS F. Plus, while GS Fs out there are all used now, I was able to afford to pick up a brand-new IS 500 with a warranty, which, to me, outweighed the better brakes and cooling. I can always upgrade things later anyway, but I doubt I will. All three seem great - honestly, if I won the lottery, I have to admit I'd be thinking really hard about getting an LC. I just loved the way it felt and the way it sounded, not to mention its looks. I don't mind that it is slightly heavier than the others - I'd probably forget about that on a daily basis. Anyway, super cool to see the perspective - what the owner said makes sense in regards to each car having its uses - RC F = track car, GS F = family sedan, LC = weekend cruiser - that's exactly what I would do!

[@RichWithCars]

Yes - that's exactly why I wanted to interview him. I know a little about the other 2 (GS-F and RC-F), but not enough to consider myself a connoisseur. I am an owner of the LC500 - but the other 2 are quite different in feel. So what better person to ask than an owner of all 3 simultaneously.

[@kncars7]

Awesome video! Absolutely love all three of these cars, and the owner's insights were great to hear.

[@RichWithCars]

I was curious as well! That's why I decided to do a video on it!

[@shawnm2597]

Thanks for the comparison. Like Joseph, I love my LC. That being said, I would like to get a GSF for when the family comes to visit. I was thinking about getting rid of the LC for a GSF, but seeing this, I would rather just keep the LC and just add a GSF for the next garage stall instead of replacing it. The lightbulb is lit.... Thanks Rich and Joseph.

[@coralchopper]

the more the merrier 😋

[@RichWithCars]

Yeah, if you can, keep the LC. Then work towards getting the GS-F, or even test out the IS500.

Great topic video Rich! Wow these cars are beautiful! But the LC… like the owner said, whatever faults it may have… I could live with it, the LC is just a pure Unicorn 🦄

[@RichWithCars]

Thanks! I couldn't let up an opportunity to interview the man that owns all 3 simultaneously! Definitely a topic that many Toyota and Lexus fans (like myself) would appreciate. 👍

[@Youtube_ban_me]

these 2 guys really got beautiful LC's

[@RichWithCars]

Thanks 👍

[@MauriceLawrence-jh4fy]

I would say stock form he is right, but upgrading the suspension on all the GSF will rise above the RCF, and maybe the LC due to the weight, however wider tires on the LC and lowering it I think LC will do better on track. Very nice collection

[@RichWithCars]

I actually have a lower stance with wider wheels and tires and I feel like the handling has improved slightly....

Which one stays outside?

[@RichWithCars]

Not sure - I'm pretty sure the LC stays indoors....

[@BradBolek-i2s]

Im getting one of these soon, watching this and other vids to find out which one i ultimately want.

[@RichWithCars]

Depends on what the primary use of the vehicle will be and if you need convenience.

[@BradBolek-i2s]

@RichWithCars i travel for work, so i really only drive on weekends and occasional weeks off. Want something that turns heads but also has some umph behind the hood and preferably i want those lexus massage seats

[@RichWithCars]

@BradBolek-i2s unfortunately none of those 3 (RC-F, GS-F or LC500) have massaging seats. I've taken my LC from Orlando to South Carolina and back multiple times, and it was quite comfy. I'd probably go for the GS-F or LC500 if I were you. But, to each their own...

​@@namename1 the RCF has significantly bigger back seats and trunk space.

[@SIDVENOM]

The owner forgot to mention the biggest thing to own a Lexus is it holds it’s value extremely well compare to BMW and Mercedes’ Benz.

[@RichWithCars]

True - but that is primarily due to its reliability and cost of ownership.

Same here can’t imagine taking a 4 door family sedan or suv to the track lol, family track day haha. But they are nice to have for long road trips or family events. In the city and daily I love my coupe and haul my buddies around in the back NP even though they are all 6ft+ hockey and football guys, It does help when they are also car enthusiasts and are easy going so shotgun wars are rare and they just drive there own car if they don’t feel like the back.

[@RichWithCars]

Yeah - it definitely helps when you have a group of friends who share the same interest in cars - they get it!

Mate I like this bloke already. I m happy for him. I too a Lexus enthusiast had all these except GSF F. Also have is 250 and 350 F sport. They're absolutely off this planet. Love the V8 Rev limiter, Who need fastest 0 to 100 when you have absolutely awesome V8 sound. He's absolutely spot on as which one daily drive and one have to have. Lc to drive alone, RCF drive with Friends and GSF with Family. I nearly ripped LC front spoiler off at parking kerb as it's so low. Pain in the butt for daily drive but beautiful for cruiser along the coast beach. 😅😅😅

That or the GS-F or IS500

[@1bigboy500]

I’ve test driven all 3 at a Lexus event a few years ago on a track and the GS F was the best handling car. This guy sounds like he bias towards coupes so what’s the point of him having an GS F unless it’s for a collectable.

[@zacaharyarnaut8799]

i agree gsf is the nicest

[@coralchopper]

Yes, I am very biased towards coupes and did mention it in the video. The reason for the GSF is for family trips where my daughter can be more comfortable and we can carry more stuff on roadtrips: which the GSF does a better job at than the other two. I don't 'collect' cars as they are depreciating assets. I bought these to use, and enjoy. Cheers!

[@RichWithCars]

Yes, unfortunately that's true. The last remaining vehicles currently for sale that have the 2UR-GSE V8, are the RC-F, LC500 and IS500. After those, we'll most likely not see a V8 in a Lexus anymore, EXCEPT for a potential LFR (LFA 2).
