Is the 2024 Lexus RC F Track Edition a BETTER V8 sports car than a C8 Corvette? 

Congrats! I have an RCF but really toyed with the idea of a GSF. Super special.

It certainty doesn't.

you will, direct injection are built to break due to carbon build up, shorten life for extra power.

well it is japanese

​@trilingualkid Toyota uses both port fuel injectors in the intake manifold and direct injection. Toyota calls this system the D-4S or Dynamic Force Engine. This avoids carbon build-up. The system offers the best of both worlds

LC500 is a beauty and a sexy sound from the exhaust.

PROTIP I don't need a luxury car advice from a 12 year old lol

Yeah… good luck on not only finding the perfect fit/finish to match Lexus’ CF but also with chopping the roof off & replacing it with an aftermarket CF roof. That wing alone is at least $10-15k (because it’s actually engineered to be functional). No aftermarket part will beat oem parts (especially when it comes to CF & Lexus).

@@chibbyylol I got it right, all right. Maybe reach puberty first, then maybe you can give advice on how to put back bicycle chain lol

@@CarsOverPeople You do realize you are talking to al literal child who doesn't even drive yet? Just look at his avatar. He's 14. All of his car knowledge comes from RU-vid.

You don't want a ugly BMW thats mechanically totaled at 70,000 over a Japanese NA V8 that lasts 300,000 miles? shame on you

​@@handle690 300k is light work for that 2ur, its got more in it

Yeah if they offered a manual I'd be throwing money at them. I'm probably going to have to go with the CT5-V Blackwing as even the C8s don't offer it. Sports cars with automatic transmissions just doesn't compute for me.

@@omnimoeish Yes it seems like we get fewer manual cars as the years go by. A CT5-V Blackwing would be a nice car to have, or even another option would be the new Lotus Emira or Camaro ZL1 I know the Camaro ZL1 for track time punches above it's weight.

Closer to like 390whp.

LOL they aren't aimed at people who want a dedicated track car. Their aimed at people who THINK they want a track car but don't know any better.

That is a tough choice

You can’t put a GTR in the same class as an RCF. GTR is a tier above. Very bottom of the super car world but has crossed super territory Rcf is just a sports car. Competing at the bottom of totem pole. Where M4s, C63s, RS5 reign

​@@justiceodueze2897yeah you right 😎👍🏾

@@justiceodueze2897GTR is a Nissan. Very bottom of the totem pole in terms of reliability and quality. Great engine but not a V8 like the Lexus.

@@GokuInstinct1What does it not being a V8 has to do with anything? The GTR is also pretty reliable. Not Lexus reliable but reliable.

I bet they do either wet sanding or denim polishing pad to remove the orange peel... Likely won't see that nice of paint on a basic RCF floor model...

I like the way that you yhink

I said the exact same thing right before I saw your comment totally agree!

Or, a base C8 Z06

Oh yes, the trailer park dream car, smh.

Lexus is more rare and special.

CT5 Blackwing all the way

I agree that it is special. I vehemently disagree that it should be classified as art or a collectible… I would definitely drive the heck out of it.

So? It's tech is still outdated like every Toyota and I won't be buying it. Corvette, CT5V Blackwing, or M5 for me.

@@jordanplays-transitandgame1690 Like I said. It's for the few who appreciate craftsmanship.

And reliability 😊

I guess no one knows what it is since hardly anyone buys the RC in general.

Too bad you can’t get the black wing as a 2 door

@@RaitisRides touche!

reliable engine - no turbos!

Yes because horse power is obviously what determines the car value 🤡 👍🏻

@@ChaoSTrophicSit is when it is marketed as track and performance.

​@@HtriZzy_then go buy another car that's 100+ more HP than this if you don't like it. The car got many more features and stuff beside the HP, like the reviewer of this Video stated. Me personally would buy used one with few miles to save money. But if I got alot of money I don't mind spending on this car any day than any other.

@@ChaoSTrophicS if you got a lot more money you would actually sit in one and cross shop them (which I did) and choose another. And yes I did buy another car that had more power (300hp almost) and actually does what it advertises to do: perform. And no it's not a shit box tuned car that rattles, it has Napa leather, HUD, cooled/heated seats, everything that the RCF track edition can do, for 30k less.

This is a very good point

Save yourself $50-70k and get a late-model RCF. Nothing special about the "Track Edition" at all other than it costs $70-100k.

The track edition is my dream car.

U wish lexus is trash

@@coscufekalalipo719 YOU ARW TRASH

​@@coscufekalalipo719 put the crack 🚬 pipe down

3900 lbs for a modern luxury sports car that has a V8 isn't crazy. Its actually on the lighter side. Just look at the weight of a BMW M4, CT5-V Blackwing, or RS5/RS6. Cars are heavy. What this car lacks in performance it makes up with in depreciating and reliability. RC Fs are the same price as cars twice their price when it first came out.

@@iJarib false, I owned an F and they are just about on par to their counterparts as far as depreciation. A 2015-2019RCF brand new was 70-80k (depending on how you option it) is selling at about 30k-55k used clean no accidents, depending on the mileage, an f80 m3 2015-2019 are going for the same price, again depending on the mileage. For reliability, if you can over look the valley plate leaks (which is pretty bad imo) sure it's decently reliable. For f8x bmw if you address the hub crank and a few other issues (it'll end up being about the same cost or less than a valley plate leak). Then for performance the f8x blows the F out of the water for a fraction of the cost . This is coming from an F owner of 5 years and I absolutely loathe bmws. There are two types of people; car enthusiasts who will call a spade for a spade and admit that this F platform is far behind in performance. They tried to do a track edition and failed. The only buyers are fan boys and rich people with no true knowledge of value to performance. For $110k you're in g8x comp territory and the s58 blows everything out of the water on that price range. With a few exceptions.

This car specifically is 3780lbs as much a new M2.

@@RandenMontalvo I should have been more specific, weight reduced from 3900* but even at 3782, it is extremely heavy compared to its other track edition counterparts parts

@@HtriZzy_ M cars are heavier actually all its track counparts are heavier GTs in its segment. This is the M4 segment etc. This car weighs as much as a new M2 and smaller than a LC500.

I freaking remember that song!

I would suprise ya Joe, for me being Gen Z, I have a diverse musical catalog 👌 Feel free to quiz me anytime, brother 😉

That is so awesome!

I'm in Lancaster, PA too. Ephrata area to be more exact. I'll keep an eye out for your RCF. One of the sweetest sounding cars ever made. Love to hear those revs.

You are so very right about that!

I agree. The 3.5 secs is too optimistic. I've found 4.4 for the track edition and 4.0 for the Fuji edition online. Maybe 3.5 seconds down a slight downhill! ;-)

supras are nice but are not anywhere near as nice as a rcf. the sound alone makes them better.

I like the way you think

and a real handbrake not that floor mounted garbage.

CT5V Blackwing or Camaro ZL1 1LE is there for you

@@jordanplays-transitandgame1690 Yeah except the quality on those is borderline trash (maybe not so much the caddy). Those cars won’t make it past 100k miles without a crap ton of money & issues. These Lexus’s will outlive their og owners.

YOU WON'T BUY IT AND NEITHER WILL 95% OF PEOPLE!

Sure it has less horsepower than cars around the same price but it's lighter then those cars

⁠​⁠@@ogunclearnoldgaming1790and still loses on the track and street against cars half the price. Anyone who buys this car is a sucka lol.

@@Intricategamer13they’re are 80k and more reliable

He is a lover not a fighter

But not as reliable as a Lexus

@@Officialzeezy Maybe, but pretty damn close, corvetes, GTRs etc...slight trade off in reliability for massive performance gain, my 2015 C7 Z06 only had a leaking belt tensioner that cost 400 bucks in its 9 yrs of life so far, pretty good for a 650hp car.

You are so very right

That would be fantastic!

CT5V Blackwing is there for you.

@@jordanplays-transitandgame1690true,that’s a v8 with a manual

Nissan does the same and it's disgusting

Supercharged LC500 would be the ultimate, with switchable AWD 👍

@@A_Scanner_Lightly So you mean Lexus should go from making very reliable & simple cars to unreliable & complicated cars? No thanks.

Whos asking you to buy? Don't like it, then move on. This will be a collector car because of the discontinued V8 engine. Enthusiasts and collector will buy this for sure, and it will retain its value or exceed in the coming years.

@@RKO859 Lexus knows their customers appreciate timelessness.

The race version of the car, Toyota has won similar events before. Unfortunately the RC F for the public is nothing like the race car version, extremely underpowered and too heavy, also overpriced compared to the performance of the cars in its price range.

What video is this?

Man fax like ?? 😂

In ANY sense being able to say you beat all THREE of them is insane

Dream big

Mine, too.

Lmao! Stop it! Your reaching! A gt 350 would destroy this thing on a track ! So would a mach 1 hell my 17 gt would give it a run for its money! Mustang killer? SMH

@@fredwilliams7893 ehh maybe. In terms of the actual Race version I don’t think it’s that easy of a race between the 2. Your 17 GT 100% isn’t beating it on the track lol

I’m right there with you!

2024?

@@CSOCSO nah it's outdated, looks like any other previous RCF, this one just has carbon fiber package

That part

Those are some nice choices

Right. Put me in a 'Cedes or Beamer or Charger RT/Hellcat and I'm good!

You are spot on the money.

Same here!

So do I!

Never. The vette holds the name "mid life crisis mobile"for a reason,and it still stays true to that even with the C8. I've seen far more C8s than I've seen RCF's by a long shot. Rcfs will be rarer yes,but they will never,ever, top the C8 in how often those are seen with 50-80 year old men driving them.
