Wouldn't it be nice to have a Lexus that could complete with these?

The GSF and LC500 are the speed of the E43 AMG, S6, and 550i. Nothing Lexus makes is fast. Conversely, it's more reliable than their competitors

These cars are are faster because they are AWD Turbo. That takes away from the sound and fun of a naturally aspirated rwd car. At least the M5 has a rwd mode. It takes no skill to launch these cars in awd. You can't do a long burnout. Thanks to people who only care about one thing (0-60) we are killing off front engined, rwd, naturally aspirated cars. Probably the same people who say a Miata is a Secretary's car and isn't fast. Way to kill off fun to drive cars. Thanks for making my cars future Collectibles

It looks like it does it in drift mode. Very Cool!

Straight line not that interesting. I could boost a $20k car that does the same. Which one is faster around a track?
