Is this bloke on site to tell you how well the car runs on the circuit or to tell you that you will void your warranty if you run it on a circuit? WTF!!!!

 

He's probably there to keep some of the numb-nuts who will drive the car to abuse from driving so silly that they crash it into a wall.

 

Hey.... I just bought a Scion tC RS 4.0....

 

between this car, the Audi R8 V10, and the new Vette ZR1, -- Porsche has pretty much been pwned.

this gtrv is spectacular!!!!!!!

 

good. that just means porsche has to build something that'll be better than all of them combined

 

What does pwned mean?
If it means Porsche is not in the same league, I disagree.
There are several iterations of Porsche. The 911 has probably 6 models including the Turbo and GT2. Then there's the Carerra GT. Not to mention the tuner P-cars like Ruf, Techart and so on. Porsche is still on the mountain imo.

 

I agree. It's just that it's a lot more crowded up there now than it used to be. Porsche either has to start pushing some of the others off the hill or go climb a bigger hill itself.

 

My comment is not a snipe at the tC, its IMO a great coupe. Its at Toyota where their sportiest coupe is the tC and Nissan offers this gem.

Its quite ridiculous.

 

those black rims look like they belong on a black on black hummer H3

 

It's ok I didn't buy it for it's performance factor. I bought it for reliability, the pricing, insurability, and fuel efficiency. I'll hopefully upgrade a few years down the line.

 

Again I wasn't trying to insult the tC I think its a fantastic car. My point is Toyota's only interesting coupe is the tC (the Solara is not interesting) and Nissan has the Skyline, 370Z and now GT-R and now V-spec. Toyota should be ashamed they don't even compete in those segments.

 

Nissan has the GTR, GTR Spec V, 370Z, and G37 coupe...Toyota/Lexus has the tC and the SC430 and Honda has the Civic Si.

Good economy or bad economy, this situation is SAD. It's really disappointing to me now...LFA has been a tease for the last FIVE years. I was one of the most excited and most vocal about the LFA but at this point I have to say that I really don't even care. The anticipation and excitement concerning the car is now nearly over...Lexus threw a party and never showed up.

I really don't care if they do or don't build it anymore.

 

Oh Mike, I'm not taking any offense. I'm just as upset that Toyota doesn't have something to compete. It's why I bought the tC. If/when something comes along that I like I'll upgrade, for now the tC doesn't hurt the wallet as much. I was thinking of the ISc but I just don't like the lines. I like coupes and if they made an STI coupe I'd be all over it so long as the styling was still good.

 

l-tuned - promised a party, served iced tea
trd - rumors of a party, nothing happened (for lexus)
f-cars - one guy shows up in a hot outfit, some applause from the crowd
lfa - promise a superstar, the lines are still waiting in the cold

lexus "performance" efforts are not really "pursuing" anything.

 

Good point...Only thing is the "lines" for the LFA are dwindling or even gone at this point. Nobody cares anymore.
