RC-F is the 5.0 v8 with 467hp. The lower trims are just the 3.5 v6

especially with that look...

kinda like the brz/frs crap. just looks, just slow.

Wasn't Mrs. Pint looking at one? They look wicked mean, but yea. They're only a 100hp bump over a Toyobaru.

Yeah Lexus needs to step up their game with that crap. The IS is not a bad car, outside of the weak HP delivery. Can't believe they stuck the same tired lump in the RC, too.

What's so special about that V8 they need to charge $20,000 extra for it?

i know, they make it for an ordinary person. just looks, just slow.

Its the weight that kills the RC. It's like 3800lbs! If lexus could shave off 500-600lbs it'd make a huge difference.
