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

[Faisal Sheikh]

Stock base LSD RCF properly flogged around the Nurburgring


Cliffs:

- Misha really likes the RCF. Feels it has a lot of potential
- Some slow speed understeer that vanishes at higher speed. He thinks it is due to conservative camber in the alignment (he is right)
- Really likes the suspension and chassis. Thinks brake pads need to be upgraded (It is a high mileage RCF so not sure what pads it has)

Was out and about to do some grocery shopping. Took this picture. Sunny and warm day so was really tempted to take this picture. I park far away where I know lazy people would never park and walk LOL.

Lexus RCF vs Toyota Supra

German comparison of RCF TE with Supra

RCF won the drag races, but in the slaloms, they preferred the Supra. Smaller size combined with the unpredictable/abrupt locking behavior of the Torsen LSD in the RCF, made them prefer the Supra.

 

[Faisal Sheikh]

A 10 year old design. Old and outdated, on its way out and yet RCF GT3 continues to rack up wins with one foot out the door

Truly a testament to the engineering that went into the RCF.
