Not going to be much out there right now. Vorsteiner and Lexus Western made two cars for the Gold Rush Rally.

I'm hoping to see some modded ones. I think the factory wheels are so ugly.

I'm also curious to know if anyone modified their LC so far. It's been 6 months since this thread started, so someone must've done something. I'm very interested to know if anyone has dropped their LC, as I want to know which suspension components (springs only vs coilovers) they've used. I know Boostlogic is supposed to be coming out with both springs and coilovers:
http://www.boostlogic.com/parts/toyota-lexus-parts/lexus-lc500/suspension-components.html
And if anyone has modified their suspension, I want to know if it affected their auto dampening system system.

Thanks!

Freshest design on the planet, man! Makes everything else look instantly 40 years old, like lumps of coal.
Having said that, I can't say I like the looks of it when its got this lowering treatment!

It's a luxury car...not a race car.

If you drive one, you'll see what this car is all about, it drives amazing and the interior is hands down one of the nicest you will ever see in any car under $200k no question about it.
It was definitely not designed to be a race car, that's for sure. Like you said, it's way too big and underpowered to keep up with something like a nice new 911. But it was designed for a different purpose. For daily driving in the real world, it's a much better choice than the Porsche, which, who are we kidding 95% will NEVER drive hard on the streets let alone take to the track.

Im pretty sure he was trolling and no amount of actual reason would change his mind.

Well said! And I'd like to add that even a nice, new 911 looks dated next to the LC500. All the Bimmers, all the Mercs, all the Porsche's look plain dated next to the LC500 (ok, I know, some of that is deliberate because they want to establish lineage, BUT!)

Well, to be fair, Porches have looked dated for at least 20 years because they refuse to deviate from the basic look. Every time I start seriously considering one, that **** is over as soon as I look at a couple of pictures. It's such a shame.
