The Truth About my Lexus RC F

Hi everyone. Thanks for checking out this video. So I'm getting use to driving my Q60 to work, I've accepted the fact I'll get the occasional dings and paint chips. I also discuss the reason I sold the RC F...I miss it. More IS and Q60 content coming soon. Have a good one.

Everyone who sells their RCF has immediate regret, I've noticed it a lot in our rcf group.

[@orlandojacinto1]

True.

[@theylive2749]

Same thing in the GSF forums. My dealer offered me a crazy offer on my GSF. I know I’ll regret it later if I sold it.

Bro its all good youre still blessed with two great cars!

[@orlandojacinto1]

Thanks Salim. I’m grateful for the cars I have.

It is all good bro. You own beautiful cars and something to be very happy about. Will be keeping up with your content. I agree with you as I also get very nervous driving my RCF especially in bright Orange color. Have had mine for 4+ years and I only have 10,000 miles on it. It is an attention magnet everywhere I go especially in Orange color. I cannot be low-profile to the grocery store or to run errands, which is why it is only my occasional car, which I focus on the enjoyment of modifying and putting more performance mods on. My RX450h and Corolla XRS are driven 99% of the time with my wife and kids. RCF is just there to clear my head and to have some fun once in a while with family. Also, to experiment with mods. Cheers!

Thanks man. I’m grateful for the cars I own. You have a great car! The RCF is one of the best cars ever. I admit I wish I never sold mine 🤦🏻‍♂️. I felt connected to the RCF, still don’t have that feeling with the Q60 eventually I will. I tried putting a build order for a new RCF this week, the dealership (inventory specialist) said Lexus is not making them right now. Did not tell me why but I can only assume one of the reasons, is the company that makes the fuel pump for IS500 (maybe the RCF) went out of business. If RCF production should start again, I will place the order and trade in either the IS or Q60.

@@orlandojacinto1 Hey man, you are lucky to own two gorgeous cars. Really excited to see if you end up placing an order for an RCF. That would be awesome. I agree with you that I also cannot see myself driving my RCF ever on a regular basis. Simply just not that car and I also would have anxiety like you mentioned. I really like the 2020+ updates on the RCF. I agree with you, I drive the RCF only once in a while, but whenever I do, it really is such a special experience. Even driving slow in traffic, makes you feel special especially with a few bolt-ons etc. I just did an RR Racing ECU software tune last week on it and now it is going through the ECU learning process. I plan on making lots of videos including some dragy 1/4 mile runs etc. I also happened to have a chance to drive the IS500 F-Sport recently when I took my RX450h for servicing. IS500 is a great car overall. You could really tell a significant difference in the first 10 minutes with my RCF. It is much softer similar to your IS350 F-Sport with the RCF engine in it. RCF feels a lot tighter, stiffer and the brakes are way more powerful. IS500 brakes are tiny for a car that has the same weight as an RCF. Anyway, I will be watching your channel to see how things go. I really do hope you end up getting an RCF if you are wanting to get another RCF.

I just subscribed to your channel. I’ll be following your content as well. Have a great weekend!

RCF over the infiniti all day

[@kyleyang4535]

Just got this on last month, 124k mileage ask $37k, not a good deal but I love it.

[@orlandojacinto1]

Congrats. Enjoy your RC F!

[@RevLexus]

The RCF is a great car, Id love to drive one someday.

[@orlandojacinto1]

The RCF is an awesome car to drive. I think 2023 is the last year Lexus with will make it. 🤔

[@jr.sciencebros.8411]

Ahh, I remember your video on the IS350 was one of the first I watched. Got me so excited at the time. Now I have a IS500. Hehe.

[@orlandojacinto1]

Congrats dude.

[@slappagon]

Another quick question, I want the RCF but the RC350 F sport is more within reach. Do you think the price difference is worth it?

[@orlandojacinto1]

I think both cars are really good. I owned both but my preference is the RCF.

[@slappagon]

@@orlandojacinto1 did you notice a significant difference in both cars?

[@orlandojacinto1]

Yes. The RCF drives better planted no body role. I felt connected to the RCF.

[@verde629]

@@slappagon The RCF is basically a track car while the Rc 350 is just a is350 coupe

[@slappagon]

@@verde629 got it, thanks

[@slappagon]

Why did you choose the Q60 after the RCF?

[@orlandojacinto1]

I’ve always wanted to own the Q60, when it first came out in 2017. When it became available in Slate Gray I knew it was time to buy.

[@slappagon]

@@orlandojacinto1 understood. Will you do a comparison video?

[@orlandojacinto1]

@@slappagon I will do a review of the Q60 in the future and mention some things about the RC F. What I can tell you now, the build quality of a Lexus is better than Infiniti. Both IS 350 and RC F is solid no squeaks nor rattles. Driving the Q60 I hear the an occasional rattle from the back seats. With that said, no car is prefect I still like the Q60.

[@slappagon]

@@orlandojacinto1 nice, last question. Do you think choosing an RCF is worth the price difference between the is350?

[@orlandojacinto1]

@@slappagon Yes, if you really want a V8. I miss the start up and sound of the V8. The refreshed RC F (has the 10" display) looks just as good as the 2015-2019. The new IS350 is a winner as well, has the same reliable V6 engine as the previous generation IS.

[@jeaand247]

So the RCF is better than the Q 60 ?

[@orlandojacinto1]

Yes. I felt connected to the RCF. I'm still getting a feel for the Q60 I really like it so far.
