yes, i keep telling myself that i hope soon i will just feel LFA is too slow

but its sound is just simply intoxicating!

This spec was unbelievable to look at and I can’t imagine how much it cost to have this made.
wow, i love that exterior color. looks like some stuff he got them done aftermarket. that must be quite some extra.

That's where I thought it was, I haven't done that hwy in a few years. I keep saying next time I'm in SoCal, but haven't had the time when I'm down there. I should hit it before the road ices up!

Just a quick side bar here as the owner and the people he bought that car from are friends. That car is 100% as it came from the factory. It has standard, exclusive and special wishes custom options. In 2019 when it was delivered from the factory it was the most customized GT2RS delivered to date. I have to say as phenomenal as the car is the owner and his family are even nicer. Oh that paint job, it's their Chroma Flair Paint finish, and the color is Urban Bamboo and it looks different in different light.




Back on topic,, perhaps a LFA in this color is in your future

wow, that's truly amazing!!! i guess the car must be over 600k, considering that jerry seinfeld's gt3rs was 450k. that interior looks so amazing!

it was my first time doing ACH (the past decade had always been about kids + work + family). very fun drive, and the tunnel part was awesome!

that’s nice, inclusion based on mutual interest and not sticker price.

That's awesome! You got a 2RS as well? it's really one insane car, it just has endless power. You are right about the tranny as well, and in sports mode the system really knows when to downshift getting ready for the exit
