haha yeah, i was surprised to see the maybach. and the car is HUGE/LONG, especially when put side by side with all the exotics, haha...

For some so-so video footage, check YouTube - some of the spectators' comments are quite amusing. If anyone wants to hear a non-distorted LFA engine note, there's also the Yamaha site which has a decent quality clip of that.
yeah, that's why i totally avoided putting down any of those quotes and discussions here, it won't end well

but on the bright side, i did hear a lot of people saying "wow, this is a new car from lexus? what is it? wow it looks sweet!" "awesome that lexus is making a car like this, great job!"

ah no wonder i didn't see you there man, i am so used to seeing all your pics every week on C&C!

actually i will be honest and say that the paint was ok. but i have a feeling it's coz' the car is so beat up on the track already, i saw some touch up here and there

but in terms of the finish it's very good, everything fits perfectly and surface very smooth and clean

it was driven by some corporate people. they also rolled in a blue isf (stock), and two corporate sema cars this yr (isf by 0-60 and the white isc). those 3 cars parked somewhere else close by.

hahaha shut up j/k thanks for the compliments, really appreciate it. been trying to "improve" my skills a bit, of course with the new slr it helps, trying to pick up a bit on PS as well to clean up pics. still so much to learn, i need another good forum to read!
