Default F SPORT - 3rd Generation IS PERFORMANCE

Knowing that factory backed forced induction and ecm/ecu mods are a not in the Lexus realm, what F SPORT Performance Accessories would you like to see?

Supercharger, but it would be nice if they have factory option for it instead of accessory.

I repeat, a supercharger....bolt on..easy...keeps the warranty...sadly it still will be more expensive than the Germans are offering.

A S/C for sure.

I remember TRD used to have a S/C available for tC for the first few years of production and then stopped offering it

Also would like to see a S/C option. I mean the mechanical side of things is half way done with the Tom's unit they've used on the 2GR-FE.

the S/C for the tC was bad, had bearing issues with the way it was setup.

Usually cars that can see any performance chance with ecu mods is because they already are boosted, ie. like a BMW 335.

Easy. Supercharger.

Intake (eventhough the F-Sport has the sound genereator) and Exhaust are given upgrades.
