Default Videos of RC-F Performance Runs

There will soon be a plethora of RCF runs to watch. I thought this thread could serve as a repository for videos demonstrating the athletic prowess of the new RC-F.

This video shows what the TVD RC-F in expert mode can do with a competent driver. The RC-F ran a 21-22 second 0-150 mph run--very quick. The new F pulls with unprecedented ease.

The run is well executed none the least...and around 8 seconds faster than any stock IS-F.

I only mentioned it as a point of reference. The ISF is quick, IMO.

I bet a non-TVD would be faster due to 100 pounds less.

Actually the TVD even with the additional weight is faster that than the non-TVD. Check out the video link. I also recall that the TVD has a difference final ratio than the non-TVD. I can't seem to located that document at the moment. The video reference 0-60 as 4.4 sec for non-TVD and 4.3 sec for performance package. Only difference between the standard and performance model is the carbon fiber roof, rear spoiler and TVD differential. Carbon fiber panel only save about 25 lbs so even with the 75lbs TVD it is note as faster than non-TVD.

Car and Driver actually managed to get 25.5 sec 0-150mph. So I wouldn't say "8 seconds" faster.

I love how the OP claims a "0-150 mph in 21-22 seconds" and then post a video that doesn't back it up.

238 kph does NOT equal 150 mph. But I'm sure he knew that when he posted it, the RC-F bias is strong in this one.

Nice try though.
