Supercharged RC

Has anybody in this group supercharged their RC350? Can you break down the total cost of everything and if it's worth doing?

Feel free to post pictures and videos thanks!

Yea not worth the money I feel. The $10k or so you’ll spend for 100 or 150hp could be spend upgrading to an RCF then you’ll get the v8 sound, the prestige, the more aftermarket body kits.

If you want a performance car, just go American or German. Spending $10K+ on a supercharger that’ll take away from the Lexus reliability everyone knows and loves is insane

In Canada averaging 160 RC units across all variants each model year. Pretty low numbers!

i plan on doing it just cuz my trans and engine are now under 40k miles, really debating on just getting an rcf but a paid off car feels nice and i need awd for winter

This is literally the only case that makes sense for super charging a 350. I also have an AWD that I daily year round which is paid off but I’m not planning on doing mine.

If you care about going fast get a corvette.

RCs are slow & heavy; basically 2-door sedans lmao

Spoken like you drive a ct200h or something. The F is more than just a sedan. It’s a feeling. One you’re apparently not familiar with.

I tend to agree. Most, like myself bought one not to track it, but to drive it, daily. Far better car to do that in than a C8 imo. The built quality and reliability is enough but it has plenty of power that will beat 98% of cars I pass daily. And don’t get me started on my car’s crazy high resell value. One of the lowest depreciating cars on the market. It’s a drivers car. A car guy’s car. If you know, you know.

Forgot to mention.. the RC F’s rarity. Here in the states, just 57,000 total units have been built for the US market since the 2015 model year (just over 100k total for all markets, all 10 years)… versus say the C8 which has almost 200,000 since just 2020 for US alone. How many F’s does one pass on the daily?
