So who is trading in their RCF for LC500

LC 500 just don't cut it
I was saving up my doll hairs for a LC 500, but when I found out about its curb weight and the 10 speed tranny I was like F&%k that...I'll buy an RC F now! Lexus has to up their hp offering if they want $90k+ for an LC 500. Now, I'll trade up for a LC 500 F w/a 2UR-GTSE that makes >610hp and is ~$85k. Waits patiently....

My dad just picked one up. It's sounds way better than the RC F and it just as fast as one. We did a couple of pulls. Both cars are stock. Interior is miles better. Suspension is a lot smoother with almost minimal body roll. Surprisingly the steering rack feels much faster with small steering inputs resulting in the car turning faster than the RC F.

I would suggest the driver read the professional testing reviews. Recently reviewed comparable to the new Aston Vantage. Randy Probst, race driver assisted with the development of the LC and tests it on youtube. Have not found one driving reviewer not impressed with it's handling. Check Youtube videos. I own some very fast european cars and the sound, comfort, shift time and handling make it a very enjoyable car to drive.( My 911 racer is great fun for an hour max.) It wasn't designed to be a track car.

Bringing this back I never owned an RC F, but I have owned my modded IS F for close to 11 years and it's a GREAT car. But, it will be on the block soon. I bought a new MY18 LC this week. The car is in Nebraska and I'm in Arizona. Next Saturday I fly out to pick it up to drive it home.

I love my F, but damn the LC is one beautiful machine. Depends what you want. The LC is one of the best GT cars on the market IMO which was my goal but not in my budget, RCF is a great GT with some more track emphasis.
