I've seen a couple of spa yellow LCs in person and the paint absolutely sparkles in the sunlight

Thank you, sir. It is truly in mint condition. I keep it in this climate controlled garage when I'm not driving it.

You have told no lies, my friend. I have the Stage 3 Capristo...nothing is even close to the sound of this machine! When those valves open at 3,000-3,500 rpm's, it's full on Formula 1 time. 😊

Have either of you heard the sound of a C8 Z06 running at full clip? It's actually a spectacular sounding car. Definitely has that high scream Ferraris are known for. I sold my 2022 C8 to buy some land, luckily right befoee their values tanked. Decided against ever getting another.

It's a shame GM builds them because I dont trust the DCT's long term reliability and the service experience at 90%+ in their dealer network is not what a 125k+ car should be, let alone a 200k+ ZR1. At least with a Ferrari you can *usually* expect a solid dealership experience whem servicing the car.

Luckily for my LC I have a flagship lexus dealership like 5 miles down the highway so I dont have to deal with a sub-par service department.

I'm sure it sounds glorious. There are many great sounding cars, out there. 👍🏾

Haven’t seen too many on the road in my area but caught this one roaring by while headed to the office this morning. Poor pic as they were running quickly down the interstate.

I know there are other LC owners here in Colorado...but I never saw one before buying mine (bought in VA, shipped to CO). I went to my local dealer, Stevenson Lexus in Frederick, and several employees came to look at my car saying how cool it was and that they rarely see one.
