No Fly Zone - Arizona Results
So I had another thread going with not much discussion. I figured other RC-F owners might be interested in what to expect if they want to go give 1/2 mile racing a shot. This was in Gila Bend Arizona...the day started out cool (lower 70's) and heated up into the 90's by the afternoon. Runway was very good (not many bumps) and plenty of time to slow down. Had a ton of fun and think the "F" did respectable per my buddies watching all of the speeds for the day as I was out doing my runs.
My 2015 RC-F is stock expect for "resonator delete". I emptied out my trunk of all tools, etc...and removed the engine shroud to help with keeping it cool. Had zero problems all day and even sitting in the line to await my turn had no heating problems, etc...Also I ran all but one run in Sport Mode.
Here was my results:

Cool. 138 mph is very impressive in the 1/2 mile. Congrats

Congrats! Good stuff man! Only 3-4 mph off of the supercharged RCF that ran a few months ago 👍.
What cars did you run against? How'd you do against them?! Just curious.
Thanks for posting your results!

Thanks...maybe it was the cool weather IDK but that first run was by far my best even though the other runs felt very similar. I thought I should be able to repeat that but could not???
First and foremost all but one of my runs were from a dig and I pulled every car up to third gear...I was surprised by that...in hindsight I should have done a run in manual and tried to hold 4th or 5th gear to the end as I noticed there was a late shift by the car near the 1/2 mile marker that may have cost me a mph or two...next time.
First two runs were against a guy I met with a pretty much stock ATSV. He got me and did 142mph even though I got him to third gear and he even used launch control.
I also ran a AMG GTS (148mph), a 650hp C6 Z06 (152mph)...and from a roll a 553hp Civic that did 162mph.

I wish you could have made it also...as you can imagine I was the only Lexus. My shop in Scottsdale is a sponsor and told me they have not announced it yet because of the event coming up in California but NFZ will be back at Gila Bend in December. Maybe you can make that one? Let me know if you can. I would be very interested to see how your car does with the mods you have...hope to see you there.

If you know the date, I can probably adjust my work schedule to be there in December - Unless it's the first weekend (taking my kid to Polar Express 12/2).
Have you also done any ¼ mile times at Firebird or elsewhere? I wouldn't mind trying mine out at the Friday night "Run what you brung" drags. Not sure if Firebird still does those now that there is new ownership though.

I hear you...need more power and less weight. If you look at my results I was 4mph slower when my 250pd buddy went for a ride. So does that mean if I can somehow knock 250 pds off the car and run by myself with no other mods I could break 140mph??? I wonder but that is quite a bit of weight to lose besides what I already did by cleaning out the trunk, etc...

And OP, most definitely if you can lose 250 lbs you'd gain 4mphs, lol. Like you said, not sure how you'd do that being that the tire/jack, etc are already out of the car....
