Totally different class of cars

Obligatory you will love it.

BRZ gets you hooked on sports cars and prepares you for one with real power

shellslinger · 11-18-2014, 11:37 PM

I'm jealous but I must ask you a question....how the hell are you able to afford one? LOL

86-tundra · 11-18-2014, 11:38 PM

Nice. I am surprised more people aren't going crazy over it. Toyota V8 coupe. Consider me jelly, but for that price I'll take a used GT-R

AznKirby · 11-18-2014, 11:39 PM

Wow talk about an upgrade.
With that amount of money readily available for an RC F, what made you go with the FR-S in the first place?

lol, I still remember when we all got pissed at you for not releasing details about your early Monogram purchase

Quentin · 11-18-2014, 11:45 PM

Nice! I saw an RC350 this weekend and that is a sexy beast. I imagine the RC-F is that much sexier.

AVodka14 · 11-18-2014, 11:49 PM

Time for something after a year. HAHA!

You'll like working with the Kuni staff post purchase. I'm sure you know that the first alignment is free and they'll align to any spec you provide so camber ahoy. Not to mention that the service experience is worth it just to oggle the service writer babes and enjoy the buffets.

Good timing, too. You should be able to get out of it within a year and make a little given your discount. Have fun!

Such a sexy car....far too out of budget for me though. At least you're keeping it in the family

WesleyG · 11-19-2014, 01:59 AM

very nice, based on what I read about it, seems to be a more grown up, slightly heavier and more powerful version of an 86, that promises not to disapoint

dhuang · 11-19-2014, 02:03 AM

Congrats! The RC-F is a beautiful machine -- glad to see Lexus bringing a true performance coupe into their line up once again.

This proves how amazing the 86 platform really is -- Its accessible and attracts all sorts of buyers from different strata.

I myself was seriously considering a Lotus Evora until I test drove the 86 out of curiosity.

You simply cannot beat the smiles per dollar.

Well, when you do get south, it should be in record time.

Congrats on your car, the sexiest Lexus coupe available. I can only imagine the sound of that V-8 wound out to 7K+ rpm.

Please post pics on delivery and come on out to a PIR track day if only to visit with us 86 plebs (though you'll have to track it to humble the BMW's, right?).

I need to make more money

This is actually one of my dream cars that I could come close to attaining. Post a full review when you get the chance.

Cheers.
