An AMAZING DAY at Barber Motorsports!!!
The LC is blast at the track every time I get the chance.
The handling is great but it is a heavy car.
The engine note is spectacular!
The transmission reads my mind and never needs manual shifts.
The not so perfect details:
The transmission was in Sport rather that Sport+ to reduce trans temperatures because the transmission gives a temperature warning every 4-5 laps (~10 minutes). After a 2 minute stop in the pits to cool down the car is ready for another ~10 minutes.
Over the planned two days at the track the brakes wore down from a start of 6mm of pad down to metal on the morning of the second day. In the future I will be putting new pads on the car prior to every track day but worth every penny for the joy it brings to drive the LC at the track!

I didn't know what to expect from that car on track, because that is NOT it's intended use, but it really performed well. For a big, powerful car meant to eat up road miles in extreme comfort, it was pleasantly surprising on a tight, technical, brake-heavy track like Barber. It is really well suited to long fast circuits like COTA and Road Atlanta. We definitely had the prettiest car on the track, with the best seat cooling and the best feeling steering wheel I have ever wrapped my hands around. Seriously, that wheel is ridiculous. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the right seat, both with you and that fast guy hahahahahaha Yoda says "Hi!". I'll give you a shout when I come to COTA and you do the same when you come to the Rocket City.

One of the major issues is not only weight of the LC but the heating issues but as stated you know its not for extended use on a track stock. Thats the reason they make F cars which kinda put car lengths on LCs on a track and can run all out lap after lap their highest settings. However its not all about times for all and its very cool to see a LC gracefully running through its paces. Kudos love to see 2URs on the track regardless!! Love it! Keep rocking out! Subscribed because your rocking it on a track dude!!

I'm glad this video popped up. I'm looking at tires for mine. I see you're running 4s... they are on my list as well as Pilot Sport All Season, Contact Sport 2, and Pirelli Sports. The LC looked and sounded great on track!!! Well done

Nice video! Do you know how much dealership charge for brakes and rotors replacement? I have Macan GTS 23, it's around 8K😭Thank you!

@LC500-Lexus 9 месяцев назад

I have the receipt for them - $2505 includes all 4 corners and the installation at Lexus

@alexgunter6411 9 месяцев назад

@LC500-Lexus still overpriced

Compared to?

Why is the window open? That miata was a rocket

@LC500-Lexus Год назад

Windows are required to be open for track events so drivers can signal with extended arm to indicate “pass me” on left or right… it’s called a “point-by”… every HPDE track event does this way

@JuiceyBeverage Год назад

If there was a crash your window would shatter, sending glass everywhere in an accident.

Only has a problem....it’s a Mazda

@computerhelpcc Год назад

Seeing a GSF there would be interesting as all performance items were standard, not options.

@2URLex Год назад

Well then the RCF in general is the one to use, got a Track or Fuji to add to it if you want more.

@computerhelpcc 11 месяцев назад

GSF is only 67 lbs heavier than RCF, and it’s more pure platform, which some pro reviewers noticed while others did not. I suspect used RCF likely to be far more used/beaten than GSF based on demographics of those I see in them.

@2URLex 11 месяцев назад

@@computerhelpcc I’ve lived with this car far longer than any viewer had with a few “pro” videos. Used/beaten? it’s a top performing Lexus lol there are a few with very high miles that still get tracked with ease and mine with 106k moves like new. Only thing I see with a GSF is rarity since the IS500 has 4 doors too.

Slow

@vvevvevvvv Год назад

Yes, we know. LC500 is not a track car by any means.

@fhesseti7976 11 месяцев назад

Not slow at all

True … 4.5s to sixty… but I have a HUGE smile vs doing 3.0s in my friends Tesla… also consider if I want to get thrill of the similar sound in a faster car for the same 4.5s, I would get big ticket… I get about 10s of thrill getting to 100mph… those same 10s would put you in jail in a faster car! I ask if you would you have gotten a bigger thrill for it? It’s not about 0-60 times, it’s about the experience of the visceral feedback…
