The weight of this RCF GT Car is 3327lbs, but it's stripped no interior. What I said is that the should sell RCF GT with full interior, 500hp and should be no more than 3550lbs.

I completely agree. Lexus should have made something similar to this and also similar to the ISF CCSR.. yes I know they made the CCSP but its not any faster than a normal ISF. Also I wish Lexus teams would publish their times. I still am waiting to see the RCF CCSR and ISF CCSR times at Nurburgring and Fuji speedway. I think the times will never be published.

Makes more sense, btw some ISFs ran at the Nurburgring 24 this year, might be able to find those times if that's what you were looking for

I saw everything I needed to see in LL10. No Lexus F short of the LFA and a full blown racecar lapped VIR faster than the 2011 IS F, and we've been told the later years lap times are significantly quicker from repaving the track than earlier years like 2011 when they tested the IS F with recalibrated suspension and the Torsen diff. From a pure numbers perspective, I still think the IS F is king of the hill. If the RCF has only been the same weight as the IS F...

On a side note, I found it incredibly impressive that for this year's Lightning Lap event, the V6 Chevy Camaro 1LE recorded a faster lap time on VIR than the V8 IS-F, RC-F, and GS-F with a time of 3:04.0.

It's a good example that power isn't everything on the race track.

Since they repaved it, many cars have been getting way better times at VIR. I wish they could retest some of the old cars with the new pavement for a fair comparison.
