Especially the Merc!!

Have never been a huge fan of Lexus.

BGM-M3COMP · 08-28-2022, 07:50 AM

Amazing!!

Nothing beats a V8.

Redd · 08-28-2022, 06:31 PM

Oh wow. I'd give my left nut for any one of those.

shawnhayes · 08-28-2022, 07:36 PM

You haz a type.

My M5 CS would look great with those.

The Lexus is absolutely stunning, such a beautiful car. Hope to get one in the future

Germanauto · 09-12-2022, 08:27 PM

Nice. I really like how the Jag looks.

How do you like the LC? I had looked at one. The test drive was subdued and I couldn't really get onto it much. I heard much of the HP is at the upper range of the RPM's. The fit and finish was spectacular.

TXSTYLE · 09-16-2022, 12:19 PM

Nice pics and lineup. That Lexus remains one of the sexiest cars on earth!

It's the best-built car I've owned. In addition, the high reeving engine, the mechanical sounds, and the way the gear box (in S+) engages with the power train is very motor sport like. It reminds me of my e92 at its best.
But it's a GT car, so if raw speed and pure sharpness is one's desire, it will leave you wanting more at some point (it's big and "only" has 475 hp). I'm fortunate enough to have other cars that can give me the more raw and speed I want from time to time. I don't think a car guy would be satisfied if the LC is the only car in the garage. However, if one has a very fast sport car, the LC is the perfect companion.

If you're ever down this way, or going to VIR, let me know.

Congrats on the LC, and all other cars you have.
