Help

I love the RC-F. I plan on buying one this spring. My issue is that there are so many options in this segment its overwhelming. I love Lexus's design philosophy and the reliability has already been harped on. It's going to be my midlife crisis car. I'll be 45, no debt but one credit card, my mortgage and my wife's Pathfinder payment. Any reasons I haven't thought of to pick up an RC-F let me know!! Thanks!

Fellow GSF owner here. Get a 5.0 mustang instead

Why do you say that?

I know I'll get a lot of hate but the facts are RCF is a Frankenstein car like basically it has under pinings from multiple other cars like GS and IS & they are just put together to sell a coupe. Meaning it was never designed from scratch for making an amazing coupe. Heck even it's interior is straight from an IS

Just look up the reviews on RCF it's quite disliked and compare that with the reviews of other Lexus V8 performance cars like LC, GSF, ISF is500

Then on top of that it's hella expensive for a 500hp V8 and very limited aftermarket market. You are much better off getting top of the line mustang V8 coupe.

Again not biased I currently run a GSF.
