I don't expect Lexus to support my HPDE habit, so I don't mince words about using the car at the track. But, just like Biggu, I do everything myself (except body work because I just don't have the eye for it). Sometimes I even help people...

They arent supporting an HPDE habit. They are simply taking care of a track prepped car that they designed to go against other factory tuned cars for an owner who uses the car on the track as was designed

Ever see a major review for an ISF VS X that didn't involve a track? Many of the promo videos from Lexus corporate show the car on the track sideways, tires smoking, and engine full tilt. Also bottom line is if you guys are beating on your cars the way you are and without warranty I have nothing to worry about since my tracks are a little slower and I never do more than 2-3 sessions at a time, never do a weekend, and my car is newer with much much lower mileage ( 34k miles ).
