I prefer the firmer ride, 40+ on oem wheels/tires and 45+ on aftermarket

I hate the feeling of a sluggish soft tire

Yes it is for sale , but only if I get my asking price or very close too it.

Theres a few reasons for that , the main one being that the car is almost too good to be a work vehicle.....I do contract work and the common sense side of my brain is telling me that maybe an suv or truck would better suit my needs.....im racking up a ton of miles in the short time ive owned it.

But the flip side is I do a lot of highway driving and that's where the 460 shines, and I spend so much time driving and on the road that its important to have some luxury and a little style doesn't hurt either, so its a tough call.

The other thing is that after owning a supercharged z06 (which I recently sold) , I realize my taste in cars has changed. I really miss the loud engine, the shifting gears, the power and the fun factor, so I'm thinking of getting into another one, maybe a newer model or maybe even a gen 3 srt viper or supercharged dodge challenger.

its a tough call, the 460 was my dream car for years , and before that the 430, before that the 400 ... ive always loved these cars and that's what makes it a tough call

Dude, I wish I could find a course large enough to autocross our Freightliner-chassied 40' Fleetwood diesel motorcoach.

Hell, I have Konis in that beast!

For those contemplating and/or maintaining nitrogen in tires, you may wish to consider the following information found within Lexus Tech Tip L-TT-0068-11 [2013-07-02]: "Best Practice For Tire Rotation & Nitrogen Filling Procedures."

Regarding nitrogen filling, it states "Some customers may complain about vehicle vibration due to incorrect tire balance following a nitrogen refill. It has been found that nitrogen replacement may cause tire out-of-balance conditions if the tire is deflated and refilled with weight on the tire. When the original air in a tire is evacuated during the replacement procedure, the internal pressure against the tire carcass is reduced. If the vehicle is on-the-ground during this procedure, the low tire inflation pressures may cause the tire sidewall to compress. When performing nitrogen replacement procedure with the tire/wheel on the vehicle, ensure the vehicle is lifted on a rack or jack stands. This prevents the weight of the vehicle from compressing the tire sidewall when tire pressure is reduced. Alternatively, the nitrogen replacement procedure may also be performed with the wheel/tire removed from the vehicle and suspended off-the-ground; for example, on a wheel/tire balancer machine."

So my question to my fellow 4th gen owners is what PSI are you folks running?

33psi - Helium fill - lighter car = better mileage.
