LEXUS RCF Pros & Cons! | Ultimate Buyers Guide 1 Year Ownership 

My best tip is the one I used. Allocate some extra money and get the lowest mileage and most mint condition RCF you can find. I wanted the TVD/CF as well, but that is personal choice if one wants to fork the extra money. I see majority of RCFs in the used market are either abused or poorly kept with crap aftermarket parts on them. Also, finding maintenance history on most is almost impossible so most of the ones that are in the low 40s or below have some hidden issues. A really good and mint condition 2015 or 2016 should be in the high 40s or around 50k, but it is worth it to find one that is really well taken care of and accident free. Maintenance is expensive on RCF and forking extra money upfront to save on maintenance cost and great ownership is totally with it. I got mine with only 6000 miles with everything OEM almost new and zero problems in 7 years. Cheers

Love it brethren I’m keeping mines. Hey tomorrow is the RR Racing open house event from 11-3 swing thru me and my son will be there with the rcf and isf. Bless up

Another point is, I have won against many turbocharged 6 cylinders and TT V8s. It depends on knowing your opponent and exactly what you are dealing with. Power to weight ratio wins all of the roll races on the highway. If you are in 2nd gear at 50 mph and coming up against a turbo 6 cylinder and V8, I generally know how much they weight and how much power they are making if they are not heavily modded. Generally, most cars are not heavily modded so its end up going well if the power to weight ratio is in my favor. However, there would be many that have a lot of mods and they would be faster as the power to weight favors them heavily even they weight 400 - 500 lbs more than the RCF. Case in point, many races against turbo V8s and i6/V6 could be won if you have an advantage in the power to weight ratio.

Also, i agree with the rareness of this car! I’ve been in my RC350 for a year now and I’m desperate to have an RC-F. I never thought I’d love having a Lexus but i really do now and wish i had more power.. so RC-F will likely be next. It’s completely livable! Great visibility, nice luxury interior (i don’t like the infotainment though - no CarPlay for the 2015-2017 models which sucks).

I’m about to pull the trigger on a 107k 2017 as my daily the mileage is killing me but it’s the only closest to me at the moment, I plan to obviously buy a low mileage car later on down the line but for the price and immaculate service/maintenance history this really is the one, I hear at 100k and over they maintain health up until 300k

Stop using mobile 1, use ester based oil. You have a flat tappet cam car and GF6 grade oil was not tested with engines like yours. Redline, VR1, Joe Gibbs, amsoil signature series, and royal purple (high end series). Stop using mobile 1, use ester based oil. Making power with that car ain’t hard. Go get a tune by “Tuned by LOI”, it’s better to turbo the car. The valley plate is not every car.. it depends on if you changed your coolant frequently. Pink coolant is advised to be changed every 150k which is not right. Change it earlier, and the red coolant was advised every 30kmiles. My guess is change your coolant more. You need a camber kit in the rear. Figs engineering has bushings available as well. Ceika coil overs should do better. Nice car bro just get the suspension work, and change your fluids. (Edit: Pink coolant is 100k miles)

I'm 5'8. I fit pretty well in the back seat of my buddy's 2015 RCF. I was so shocked, considering my 2019 Camaro had back seats which were basically impossible

I have a black 2015 RC F with 140k KM ... absolutely zero issues !

Looks real clean bro. Glad mah brothas catching on theres more out there than scats and hellcats.

Looking to get a rc but it’s going to have to be a rc350 no f you gave me a lot of information thank you

I’m trynna buy an rcf and this just looks and sounds amazing!

Loving the video broski! Will you make a video on what your favorite mod on the car is ? And you going to the RR open house ?

I've been seriously considering getting one. Just can't decide which year to get but now that i know about the coolant issue, i wonder how prevalent it is between year models.

I just ordered a 2024 carbon fiber spec I just hate owning cars everybody has and this is a collectors car already with the v8 going away!

1:37 I really thought you were gonna say three something but 467?!?!?😮😮😮 that’s enough right there

I was able to find a 2015 with around 85k miles for 35k thinking about getting it sometime next month if the seller is willing to work with me

It’s true I seen like 4 in my lifetime

I know of a rcf that makes 510 hp with just long tube header exhaust and tune so you saying it's hard for these cars to make 500 is cap.

I like your mirror caps, can you tell from where did you get them ? Additionally did you notice additional noise at high speeds with them ?

Never had the valley plate issue on y 12’ ISF it’s an issue but not on every single motor.

Damn bro did you get a new camera? Looks good!!

Rcf & gsf here. You’ve prob seen the red gsf on conduit blvd haha😂

That was a great summary. Thx. I’m sold to get one. Sometimes after the new year. You e hit on all The points that appeal to me. 🙏💪

Nice car bro dream car for me over here in the Uk seriously overlooked

Great video! I drive a ‘15 RC350 F sport awd. I have A solution for your phone placement. I have a magnetic mount that’s mounted just above the passenger heated seats buttons. It’s down low and very convenient. I can email you pictures if you’re interested in what i used and where i placed it.

I'm not a fan of the newer ones is it just me?

Nice ride. I'm looking for one

Clean car.

She is sweet!❤

These cars are nearly TEN YEARS OLD!!!🤦‍♂️

3900 lbs and you complain about heavy? I feel obese with mine 4100 lbs GSF 😂

To answer the kid it can pull 1.3 Gs on a turn maybe a little more with your mods if you didn't cheap out on tires and suspension. Probably 1 under breaking. Maybe 0.6 under acceleration they are pretty slow.

I had a 3015 RC-F with the TVD and Carbon fiber package. I ended up getting rid of it because of the transmission. It's a great car but the transmission really sets it back. If it had the 10 speed from the LC, it would be an entirely different vehicle.

Fire vid brother 🔥 pros def outweigh the cons 🙏🏼

Definitely does not look like a 9 year old car ❤️

I got my Sti to 760 wheel and I wish I could just trade someone straight up for an rc. The rc is worth more but I've spent so much money to get here😭. Now that I'm mid 30s I'd just rather the luxury and smooth ride and these also sound/look incredible. Sick car sir🫡

why bruh ask what type of g forces it got 😂

I’ve only seen two other RCF’s in my life

biggest con is finding a decent used one lol!

Bro that rcf looks fucken sick!!! 🔥 🔥

link to mirrors bro i cant find on ebay

nice...................2018 GSF here

Bmw you gotta code your new headlight to work if someone hit it , ima leave it at that , that v8 is proven to go 300k
