Maybe not...got this from another forum, claimed it was from the car's manual:
Might want to go up the coast rather than 5.

It already has about a 100 miles on it in stop/go traffic in LA. I think I'll be fine.

what?! the digital gauges are so cool. probably one of the best parts of these cars. honestly, what else do you think they could have added to them? and yeah, i also feel the predator grill is awesome, at least on the RC, GS and IS.
Also, don't mean to hijack your thread, but I just happened to pick this up for my car while i'm in Japan, good for a +50HP boost
I was looking into the 435i and S5. But I couldn't justify paying so much more for those vehicles when Lexus had such a great deal going. The 435i would've been faster and a better drivers car but I would have to pay about 200+ more a month for it and that didn't make sense to me.Zolks: what else were you looking at ? My BIL just bought a new GTR...
You sure? They're working for me on mobile. I'm not logged onto photobucket where they're hosted.Pics aren't working for me.

You mean buy a 10 year old car for 50k that's only 250hp? That's not my cup of tea.Not my cup of tea.. 70 grand for a 4,000 lb auto coupe? Styling is subjective so in speaking mechanically, 460 hp saddled with that much weight is pretty much bottom of its class. Cmon buddy, a nice used NSX is like 50k! Or a certified gt-r at the very least.
Overall good looking touring car that is not hard to drive, I see the appeal but think there are so many better options out there.
Hehe, it's got more power than that, and it's a lot lighter as well.You mean buy a 10 year old car for 50k that's only 250hp? That's not my cup of tea.
It's not. It's an antiquated old car that's been glorified for no reason. That's pretty much the 'legend' that car or car company is. I don't recall any history of any performance car from acura prior to that. 50k on a old car with an old design with lot of buttplants on the seats is not my cup of tea.Hehe, it's got more power than that, and it's a lot lighter as well.
May not be your cup of tea but it's most definitely a legend in the company of other cars like any lexus that isn't an LFA.
Sure it's old, maybe antiquated. But when it came out it beat Ferraris and lambos around the track all while bring cheaper and more reliable.. It's an absolute legend. And "that car company" created engine technologies that everyone else uses to this day.It's not. It's an antiquated old car that's been glorified for no reason.

You're trying to take the conversation into a totally different direction. But to each his own. Btw, I don't like Lexus in general. I indicated that above. This is to hold me over until the new 450hp q60 comes out.Sure it's old, maybe antiquated.

You seriously trying to knock Honda in defense of Toyota? Lol, tell me again how Toyotas F1 engines compare to Hondas? Oh wait..
What kind of motor is that supposed to be? No way their NA V6 can swing that, right?You're trying to take the conversation into a totally different direction. But to each his own. Btw, I don't like Lexus in general. I indicated that above. This is to hold me over until the new 450hp q60 comes out.
It's supposed to have a twin turbo 3.0 v6 or 4.7 v8. Not sure what the configuration will be. But it'll be awesome. Or I just might have to scrap my plans and give in to the wife and get a Tesla.What kind of motor is that supposed to be? No way their NA V6 can swing that, right?
Did you end up taking the Freeway back to San Francisco ?
