It was smooth as butter at 135 and my foot was thru the floor trying to get more. I've no doubt I can get faster but I didn't want to push the OEM performance pads too much by standing on the pedal there. I'll wait until I get my race pads in to do that at the next track day.

I ran it in Custom mode, sport powertrain and sport chassis to avail of the heavier steering and stiffer suspension without having to overwork the transmission via Sport S+. I think it was the right call, I did not get any transmission temp warnings.

Smart decision!
That is precisely what the Lexus pro drivers/ instructors recommend for the best track performance and avoiding over heating the transmission.

I don't get to participate in this thread too often.

It's something.

 

oh look! It’s an lc250

 

Best-best-best photo. "Standing out among the pack" would be a paramount of under statements.

 

It was quite the attention getter. Lots of compliments from people on the car, the color, and the fact that I brought it to track!

 

 

I really think that's the "kicker'.

 

Manufacturer for your wheels? And what model of wheels? They're really sharp.

 

 

Beautiful!!

Wait, according to the other thread, you had another NSX you sold? What made you decide to keep one over the other?

 

I kept the 2003 for its analog experience, manual gearbox, long-term collector value (33k miles), and unique history. I also drove the 2017 NSX like it was a GT, so I might as well get the ultimate GT.
