This is an enthusiast forum and I care about power.
its still a mustang, still a camaro, still a corvette, still a challenger which are all over the place

Lexus gets zero respect or attention at autoshows or car meets.
So im not sure your point putting down other cars especially ones that have very strong following.

Most people don’t even know Lexus LC500 exists....

This LC F is a halo car a la LFA.
It will be expensive and very rare.

Don’t expect M3 competition until 2021/2022MY.

Unfortunately F cars are not a priority and low sales figures are not helping their case.

You made the claim, back it up. Don't move the goal posts with new claims that you are also not willing to back up. Turning this into an ad hominem isn't going to work.

Looks like I'm not the only one that sees behind the curtain.

I think the LC starring in the 9th highest grossing film of all time and a super bowl commercial might disagree with that.
Awareness for the R8 & NSX both benefitted from the Iron Man movies.

RCF is not a competitor?

Unfortunately, it took a Motor Trend test to resolve that the RCF couldn't best the M4 by 3/10 of a second. Horrible job Lexus! Back to the drawing boards.

Doesn't handle great? Lol ah someone mentioned, find 5 articles that said the gsf doesn't handle great. You wanted him to find it but you're stating a bunch of lies.
Lol, you disproved him on two facts, but his point happens to be correct. MB has a huge range of AMG cars, all of them are faster in their class by a large margin.

Get back on track man. This thread is about the LC. Stop posting videos on the RCF.

A lot of these post here are hilarious and clearly not from any F owners. EVERY time I drive my F, people are starting, complimenting it, taking pics, and asking questions.... surely doesn't happen with mustangs and challengers, lol. And yes, since Hellcats are cheap now, they are ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! Just about see one everyday.
Back to the LCF though...TTV6 from the LS500 or TTV8...that's the question. The v6 will be lighter, obviously, but F cars are known for V8s. Time will tell! $150k or less and I'm getting one!! Fingers crossed!
