The 2GR-FSE was amazing when it came out but that's a long time ago. Lexus should have bumped displacement up to 3.8 or 4.0 during it's lifecycle to remain competitive.
They came out with an incredible engine in 2006 and then let it languish for 18 years lol.

That displacement increase wouldn't do anything. That's just a 4Runner engine essentially and we have had that forever. Competitive isn't happening when the top lexus V8s at the time can't even keep up with the Germans V6s and the new Lexus TTV6 is a joke and on par with 4 cyl cars from the Germans

So I heard from the dealer, this is actually kind of cool.
The car has 1,100 miles on it because its one of 6 identical spec cars that was used in Las Vegas to drive the Mercedes team F1 drivers around while they were there for the F1 race. There is a $2,500 rebate on the car from Mercedes which is great. I told him to make sure to vacuum all the cocaine out of the carpets and we will be good haha

However, you should have kept the coke yourself, bagged it up and made a few extra bucks lol.

Could you imagine BMW coming out with the N54 in 2007 and doing nothing for 17 years? That would never happen.
