Congrats and glad you are happy. Great color combo and looks great. Regarding your recommendation, my answer would be no thanks! To each his own. Driven one and it is meant for a different audience. Have had my RCF for 7+ years and still the best decision. I can understand if you drive on the streets and enjoy casual cruise on roads and highways with some fun driving, LC500 does it better in pretty much every way. Stock exhaust note is also better in LC500 than in the RCF.
However, when it comes to spirited driving and pushing it to the limits beyond the 7/10ths and having fun in the twisties or blasting in acceleration runs, RCF all day simply because it is an F car that is 400 lbs lighter, smaller, much stiffer/tighter/sharper and just accelerates much faster. with more adrenaline rush in that type of driving. I have two other Lexus to do handle the whole spectrum of driving so my RCF is all about being unapologetic in terms of sporty driving. In other words. high-performance driving in a car that checks all of the boxes and still fits two baby seats in the back.

Brother I understand you lover your orange beast. I loved my 2022 usb 2.0. But this exhaust alone stock ! Is unreal. 7 thumbs up on the way home. Rcf just isn’t in this category. My rcf can’t crack like my lc 500. The seats ! Sport seats. Omg. The seating position. Don’t get me wrong! Can your rcf be a little quicker. Ya. The yellow Ferrari was staring. The thunder cracks on the downshift. Well if my rcf was the f car ! They can have it. This thing makes me smile. My rcf was alright.
Both are works of art re design. But I'm in my 8 month of owning my 19 RC F and despite th einitial months with the Check Engine Light for exhaust leatks because of th eimproperly built invidia exhaust flange, it's fixed. And it puts a big smile on my fce when ever I'm in the car. Just a blast to drive.

Totally understand that. I hated the fact when I bought my RCF that it was all engine/intake noise and nothing from exhaust, but it was quickly fixed and it became intoxicating. Like I said, I have driven one. If you don't push the RCF to 7/10th and beyond, like I said above, LC500 would handle every daily driving situations better. Beyond, it is all RCF straight line or in the turns.
By the same token, Invidia exhaust is a total game changer for RCF. Video below still does not do it justice. Also, the +20 whp are nice and are measurable in my Dragy GPS videos. Not sure what you mean about the 'sport' seats since RCF's seats were speficially designed for RCF and are meant for max lateral support on the track under high-G turn situations. They are completely different from the F-sport seats in my '19 IS350 F-Sport. I do think the LC500 seats are more comfortable and less "harder" than the RCF.
Hi ...XRS,
I've seen your infore the invidia. Thanks for that. Was useful. My ony problem is th enoise when cruising. It's not as quiet as my 98 SC$00 which is understandable given the power of the RC F. But I'm still exploring a way to quiet it down somewhat while being able to enjoy the great exhaust noise when you romp on it. I still can't believe the power when you hit around the upper 3k range. It's like there's an after burner kicks in.

Hey man, best way is to use manual mode and you can make it a bit quieter. Invidia is already one of the quietest one around and if you want more quieter while cruising then the valved exhaust would be the only option where you can open and close them yourself. I know manual mode is counterintuitive, but manual mode prevents droning that occurs only around 2000 - 2500 rpm when you are in higher gear. You can always downshift into the right gear and bring the revs up to around 3500 rpm where the noise goes high pitched and the bass is all gone. This keeps the engine in the right rpm where there is torque for all situations and avoids 'lugging' situations where you have low rpm and high load situation. In auto mode, the transmission will a lot of times be in high gear and you suddenly press the throttle and it will drone because it will try to handle the load demand without downshifting. Hope that makes sense.
