Execpt for the "front bottom lip" I put on from Hartge and the Xtreme blinder 40 laser jammer, let's not say anything about spending anymore money for a while. I would like to stay married and she has about had it with this months spending.

No need to apologize for "jumping ship." We have a lot of true auto enthusiasts here who understand fully. Lexus has nothing to compete with that. A 500hp daily driving sedan that can whip the pants off of almost anything on the road? Nothing to apologize for. All I can say is put some better looking wheels on it and call it a day.

Absolutely no need to apologize for getting an M5. In fact, you should be celebrating.

It's true that Lexus lacks in the performance department. Give it time and perhaps you'll be interested in the GS600h, if that ever comes out...

Maybe because it needs ALL the air it can get to cool the engine , so that makes no room for fogs

Wow...I haven't followed the M5 so I didn't realize it was putting out 500+ hp at the wheels.

Nice! No shame in your game man. Enjoy that "ultimate driving experience."

I am stil selling my 18 wheels that is in the "wheel" forum if anyone is interested. oh,,and yea,,it is FAST!. 500+ HP is unreal in this car with the handling it has.

Tell me what you all think. It was this or the E55. Got tired of wating for Lexus to get the HP up. I hope the new gs, gets a 400 hp motor.

...OK interior, but, man , is that exterior ever butt ugly. I mean, ugh!

Anyway, you must like it, so enjoy your ride.
