Default How do you Drive your LS?

The LS 460 is considered a conservative car, but are there any members on here who consider themselves aggressive drivers?

Most of the time I lay back and cruise but I do accelerate hard and typically move at a faster pace than traffic on the highway.

I got a speeding ticket the second day I had the car and then got off with a warning on my way up to Oregon on US101 last week. I guess you could put me in the aggressive driver category. I had a lot of fun flooring the beast and passing cars when the road turned to one lane.

It's kind of amazing but I've gotten several speeding tickets while driving a Lexus but never gotten one driving a Porsche. (as he knocks on wood....)

And I have decided that I am not getting a new Porsche Turbo. I've changed my order to a new 997 GT3 that is going to be built in March and delivered in April.

I'm passing people all the time. 100% of the time when it's raining.

I love to cruise but on the highway I floor it to pass slow drivers then slow down to cruising speed.

I just love the power this car has.

Rented it for a weekend, and I drove it fast.

Handling is good (enough for me) but not great (compared to the IS). Acceleration is superb as well as torque for passing cars.

Definately can be driven aggressively, but really wouldn't recommend it. I like speed, but wouldn't take it to the canyons...
