1st Generation Lexus RC 300, 350, F and Track Edition Megathread

I just love OG RC headlight cluster and body graphics around it. That deep recessed housing position is super aggressive. Yeah, it could be a pain for snow pile up but it's worth it.

A small summer RCF meet (with an LC500). An RCF track edition in Electric Surge Blue was supposed to show up as well, but was a no show. Was really looking forward to it. Had a pro photographer there who took some rolling shots so will post it up here.

That is a micro-meet!

I could see an RCF being a lot of fun at a circuit, but auto-x seems like a miserable tease for something with that heft and power.

Use that to your advantage 😉 put some sticky 200TWs up front, stiffen up the rear end and some less aggressive 300TW tires, and use that power/stiffening for more rotation out of turns

Agreed on much better tires as it really needs better than the OEM tires it comes with. However, RCF is inherently very tail happy in tight turns especially if you have TVD. It power oversteers everywhere in auto cross settings when you have the steering cranked hard.
