Thanks for the compliments

I paid a little under MSRP for mine, it's alright, took me a little time to adjust from IS-F to RC-F
I love all the cf bits and pieces

Car is not low so it's still drive-able on bad roads

Sound is a little lacking though, but that can also be a plus depending on your circumstance

My ISF had modified RCF wheels with 255/35/19 and 295/30/19 Bridgestone S-04s. My LC has 9½' and 10/½" Vossens with 255/40/21 and 295/35/21 PS4S tires. The LC handles damn good for such a heavy car, but alas, not as good as my ISF.

Stock, no, nothing Lexus has can beat the 350R. Stock gt350r vs my FBO a d tuned F, it's a close race, and ive edged out more wins than I have loses in the 1/4 and 1/2 mile drags.

I can see a tuned FBO IS F keeping up with or even edging out a GT350R. I was talking about the handling dynamics of the GT350R compared to anything Lexus currently makes. Big difference there and I dont think anyone would disagree with that statement.

My understanding someone correct me
100 made
50 US
11 White

I think a TE buyer is cross shopping a GT350R in the same way a GT3RS owner cross shops a TE

Have you dropped weight on your IS? That's pretty quick if your consistently pulling on GT350's.

A GT350 is a different type of vehicle, everyone should know that. And since I have pretty much zero posts here, yes I own an RCF and have a ton of seat time in a GT350.

@Ftcgsf what do you want out of a vehicle? Or is it just something to own for a yr or two?
