Hi all! Been changing cars a bit lately. Three years ago I bought my ISF for a daily due to not finding an IS500, loved it but I did mileage it up a bit. Then found my IS500. It was a bit pointless to have the 500 and the ISF. Sold the ISF after having both for about 6-7 months, ended up getting an RCF! First time in an RC in general, first time in over a decade being in a coupe. Sold my 1995 SC, white with black interior back in 2011.

 

Congrats! Good luck keeping it clean lol.

 

Congratulations! Looks great. Put it in SPORT+ mode with MANUAL and TVD in SLALOM mode. It will be a hoot.

 

Congrats on the RC! (and IS500 haha!), what are your thoughts on the RCF compared to the IS500? (Pros/Cons)

 

Been discussed in a lot of threads. I also drove an IS500. The differences are what you think they might be. IS500 is cheaper, 4 doors, bigger cabin and more practicality, You get the RCF engine for much less. It is more comfortable for long distance driving etc.

RCF was unique in the sense that it was developed as an F car from the start with the RC platform from the beginning so the chassis, suspension, engine, transmission tuning, seats, cooling systems, steering, bushings, tires, wheels etc. were all developed for a mix of both street/track/spirited driving. Dimensionally, RCF is shorter, lower, much stiffer with a longer hood. I felt, steering in my RCF is much heavier/stiffer in SPORT+ than the IS500 as well.

 

Thanks for the feedback!
