Aside from the price/value, they like the RCF a lot better. It did quite decently against a brand new designed M3 both on the track and in a straight line (considering RCF is 7+ years old design).

 

Wow, I’m surprised the RCF did so well against the M3. I really like these guys...they’ve done the ISF, GSF, and LC500 so they were fans on the 2UR already.

 

You can tell they love that engine lol. Dynamically there is no question that the m3 is superior to the RC F (it's probably closer between the track edition and the m3), however, I would still take my RC F every single day of the week. Love the sound of the V8 and the Lexus reliability is a nice bonus. Plus I think the RC F looks and feels much more special because I never see any other RC Fs around even in Houston. The m3 is unquestionably better in terms of driving performance but I think the ways in which it's better are completely inaccessible on public roads.

 

They will do another one for the RCF vs the Mach 1. Should be interesting.

 

They should have paired the M3 with an automatic to be apples to apples.

 

The BMW's just do nothing for me....

Other than the obnoxious grille, most would have a hard time deciphering between the new M3 and any other 3 series variant of the last decade. Boring, bland, underwhelming styling... Same ol' story from BMW.

 

As they said in the video, they went with the 473 HP version that was closely matched with the RCF. It only comes in a 6 speed manual. Once you get the automatic, it requires upgrading to the competition model with 503 HP.

 

Eh, gotta hand it to BM-Trouble-You that they're trying to keep the manual alive, kinda like the Genesis G70 and the Stinger with the 2.0 turbo engines.

 

Run it with the auto and let's see.

 

That BMW grill is just........obnoxious.

Not a good review, but here it is anyway. Looks like with that stiffer rebound in sport+, Lexus made it primarily for smooth tracks and roads. That Toronto Motorsport track is old and bumpy, Still, not bad as it ran the same lap time as an M2 comp.

 

I watched it this morning, most people hate this car. But that's the reason why it is so rare on road.
In past 5 - 6 years, I only saw 2 15-19 RCF, 0 20/21 RCF, and 0 track edition

 

Wait till you drive yours and you would wonder "why the hate?". Having owned it for 4+ years, it is a phenomenal performance/luxury car that balances both sides very well.

 

I don't mind the Track Edition, but I personally do believe it is a bit overpriced for what you get. A normal RC F could probably do close to or the same lap times, albeit with good tires, even though it weighs more. It looks awesome, but I do have to agree the pricing is just way too high.

 

I certainly agree, the track edition looks great but I think it is quite overpriced. A normal RC F is 98% of the car for a lot less money.
