Default My New LC500

31 year old living in South Florida... Traded in a 2017 M3 (w/ competition package). I admit what did it for me was the MotorTrend YouTube review of the LC500. Fell in love with it. Here are a few pics...

Congrats to both of you. Can you share how the acceleration feel at lower speeds, say 25 to 50 mph when pushed? Does it have that 'throw you back in your seat' feel?

It's fast, I really haven't pushed it that hard, the dealer said to put at least 500 miles on it.

Thanks!

im coming from an M3 so to me the LC does not have the same throw you in the seat feel. It's a heavy coupe, I think around 4000 pounds so the 471hp won't feel the same if it were a smaller car. That being said, it is powerful and quick. The transmission is great and the sound from the engine downshifting is incredible.

Beauty! M3 obviously a faster higher performing car but nowhere close to the LC's beauty and interior refinement! Congrats!

Very true. But the LC500 believe it or not is much more fun IMO. The M3 was almost too powerful for the car and the transmission wasn't as good as the LC - too aggressive. Really pushing the LC and switching gears, there's nothing like it. The sound of the engine and the speed of the shift is excellent.

Thinking of putting new wheels on it. What do you think of these?
