Thanks All..... I am really not a red car guy, but I have to say this is the most beautiful shade of red I have seen and it looks outstanding to my eye. I was messing around last night driving the car in "M" mode and wow, it is fast as H---- ....This car has the JoeZ exhaust which sounds pretty dang good to me, I was thinking I wanted some headers, but not sure I need them, I will give it a few months and see what kind of willpower I have. I was considering a Audi TTRS which is a very fast and fun car to drive, but I had a few VW's over the years that were a nightmare repair-wise, so Lexus won out this time.

Thank you, I am loving it....I haven't had a "fast" car in many years, this ISF is unbelievably fast to me, I can't imagine what a 3 second 0-60 car would be like....punch it and I am going 80-90 mph in a flash. Ah, my first gas fill-up this morning and I averaged 26.8 mpg which was a lot of highway driving through the smokey mountains, combined with a few spirited efforts and some in town travel....that really surprised me as my GS300 could barely get 23 mpg and it was a dog.

I thought for a second you had a RHD model.. then I noticed the missing fuel door and backwards F logo
