Big leap from the stang, looks good. What color is that? Looks like gun metal or cobalt gray.

Did you consider an E92 M3 or Gen 2 CTS-V?

Very cool cars- is it the V8? Prices on those seem to have jumped considerably. Love the color you got.

We were torn between this and the SRT8. Bought the Dorge but still very fond of these cars

That thing lacks anything I like in the looks department. It's not ugly but it isn't attractive to me. It is different though. It lacks......Murica. That's it. Lol

Im not a big Mercedes or BMW fan. The CTSV is way more expensive that what i got this car for. I would like one of those but its just not in the budget right now, this Lexus is.

Yes It has a 5.0 in it advertizing 418hp id imagine in the 320-330ish range to the wheels.

If I put some GT500 wheels on it (bolt on) would that get a little of MERICA' in it

I cant leave anything alone. It'll mostly get appearance mods like newer headlights and tails, LED everything, replace the front bumper cover with a new one that doesnt have license plate holes drilled in it, lower it and wheels, color matched grill bezel and black out the grill, black chrome emblems, headers and exhaust, cold air intake, and a throttle control unit for better throttle response.

Nice car. I came across one recently and tried to get him to run my V but he wouldn't bite.
