I haven’t driven one but a c63 is probably barely 50kg lighter and a I bet an S5 or RS5 is just as heavy. An M4 might be lighter but it’s by no means the only competition to an RCF.

 

Certainly someone looking at an 840d, E53amg or such like might consider an RCF and find the cars quite comparable price and mass wise.

 

An RCF is a small grand tourer - maybe a sports coupe but not a sports car. It’s not pretending to be.

 

I don’t disagree with the comments re the NAV as that applies to all Lexus/Toyota models but they still remain one of the most trouble free performance cars on the market.

Absolutely hit the nail on the head, the criticisms against the car are the same ones that have been aimed at Lexus for the last few years, its not trying to be an M4 or C63, the magazines are pitching it against those models and if you don't get them for what they are, well , you know what to buy...……...

I just ordered a new set of ps4s through my supplier coming direct from Michelin in France so nicely all the same batch and fresh and price locked in at £880 fitted and balanced.

Depending on the politics (you may have seen it on the news) pound could rise or drop 15% in March so I'm getting in now. When pound rises they are reluctant to reduce prices but always happy to put them up when it drops. That's my logic anyway.

A good decision in my opinion...…..

I keep my keys in a Faraday cage and the sound of a deterrent in the form of a steering lock sounds like a good one, however these arseholes have to move the car on very quickly and nothing sells like a Golf R, M2/3/4, RS whatever  and many of the AMG family, demand is high, either as a complete car or for parts, not so much for an "F" car, hence why we don't hear of them being targeted for theft that often, there are obviously other reasons, rarity, a lot of people don't know what they are which all works in our favour, so all in all I don't think our cars are as at risk as some of the others I mentioned.

I couldn't run mine through winter, all the salt they put down and the fact that you might have winter tyres but the car behind you probably doesn't, too much of a risk for me, I have a cheap Honda Civic, cost me £900 and its just gone through it 3rd MOT with me for the cost of a wiper blade.

Keep the miles off the F and the corrosive salt away from it, it will feel amazing come April!!!!

Really great cars, miss mine all the time.

Enjoy it.

No weak points or issues to speak of, condition and service history is everything in my opinion.

I came from an IS250, bought an IS-F and then moved on to a GS-F and I have never looked back, absolutely fantastic cars, not sure about them out performing an M4, unless its wet, but the rarity and rock solid reliability swing it for me every time, get one and you will love it...………..

Great looking car Mike, very rare, love mine.

That's what I said.... Lower case 's' was a typo... 

Ahh, didn't know it was a typo, thought you meant the PS4

Hi Mark. The PS4s are the replacement for the Super Sports. 

No the PS4S tyres are the replacements, the PS4 tyre is completely different.

Epic car, cant believe some of the power outputs the tuner have achieved over the years, looks are a little dated for me now, but still desirable.

Had a pair of  Super Sport fronts fitted at Lexus while it was in for service £397 in total, don't know if there is any advantage with the PS4S, to be honest the Super Sports work well for me, I find the wet weather grip is very good.

Great start with a photo of the wrong car, clearly he has copied figure and specs from a Lexus brochure and cherry picked a couple of sentences from a magazine, hopeless...……...

Am I missing something here??

Shame you can't make WBBC-2

I know mate, I wish I could be there.

Here is mine, along with some other cars...…….

Great photo, although the car has apparently developed a fault, its leaving black lines on the road and is sideways...……..

Looks fab guys.  Going to Andorra would be awesome, the mountain roads are amazing albeit completely covered in snow when we have been.

You are right about the roads Jon, timing is everything.

I would say that i am a mixture of there two.  Always keen to read what is going on but i don't always feel that i have much to contrbute as a new thread as such.  

On that note, I had somebody (or maybe two people) spit at me when driving the RCF the other day.  I say two people as what landed on the drivers door and window couldn't have come from one person.  Hey ho, at least it just washed off 😮.  Thats the first time i have had anything negative happen.

That is a very calm response, I am afraid I cant do that, if someone spat on my car I would snatch the life out of them, utter utter arseholes...…...

As always, the videos never give a true representation of speed. You were flying!

The Isle Of Man is truly fabulous. A place where you can concentrate on driving rather than watching out for speed cameras.

The lack of interest on here somewhat surprises me.

And me, maybe there are more lurkers than posters, or have we already done that...……………..

That's a shame, the place where it all started...………………….

............and some just drone on to get their post count up..................

I've done 416 posts over 8 years; so exactly one a week. Where does that put me on the stalker----------.contributor axis?

Or are we taking quality of post into account too? How would we rate that? 

 

Good point about the quality of posts, some just drone on to get their post count up.

Little Andorra footage for you @Flytvr, @Warrington guy, @emjay82………...

I wouldn't say I was a stalker, however I don't believe in waffling on for the sake of it, sometimes I do sit there and read the posts with commenting, when I think I have something to contribute, well you cant shut me up!!!!

Little bit of GoPro footage
