Default Asphalt Up Houston, TX

I'm looking forward to attending the Lexus event tomorrow and finally getting an up close and personal look at the RC F.

I pre-ordered mine on September 8th. My dealer was nice enough to send me the price and packages list which I've attached.

There were no surprises except that the "all weather package" , "intuitive park assist" & "pre-collision system" as options would have to be special ordered and may take until May to get the vehicle. So I ordered, the LA, PE, PT, NL & FT packages.

Right now I am estimating March delivery.

Hope to be able to see & feel the TVD at work on the corners!

I'll be there at 9:30am. I wonder why they're pushing off the pre-collision system. That's implemented on other models.

When you drive the RCF on the track do NOT get in the 1st car like me. If you do enjoy having the slowest lap of your life because when I slowed down to be able to give it gas so did he.


Get in the LAST car, give them 1/2 a lap then go all out and thank me later

Just got back from event. They let you drive the RC F and the M4 with one of their drivers in the passenger seat. Each person goes one at a time so you can really push the car when you want to without someone in front of you. The closed track was short but you get an idea of what both cars can do. They only gave us one lap in the M4 and 2 laps in the RC F.

M4 was fast and handled very well. Going through curves seemed effortless. The RC F felt easier to drive especially with steering. This is a close call but the RC F would definitely be the better daily driver.

The blue is the best looking color out of all them. You can see the two optional wheels on the same car. The 20 spoke is best. I still think the F-Sport wheels look better than the stock and $850 option wheels on the RC F.

Nice pics. Glad you liked the blue!
Interesting to see the comparison of the 20 spoke and 10 spoke wheels on the same car! Still disappointed not to see any of the standard wheels show up.

On the RCF's, I was able to drive the Blue w/ TVD first. It handled seamlessly thoughout the turns and curves. Then I drove the Silver w/o TVD. That was like Dukes of Hazard around each corner! I was able to whip the tail out further while keeping the wheels spinning. Good for local drifting competitions but not for everyday driving safety. Glad I ended up getting the TVD.
