Yup. That's why I have such a hard-on for the APSSS when I first saw the video demo, and why I gotta have the 450h!

OMG, totally off topic!

I think it's time for you to trade up to a 450h!

you never know, driving a "supposedly" good track car at the track doesn't make you a winner.

in the ls460 forum, an owner of ls600hl was tracking his lambo mur and got annoying by this other miata driver or something. he got pissed, dusted off the other car in his lambo, got off the track, picked up his 600hl, entered back into the track, and trashed the miata again

now that blows

Did you notice a difference in throttle response? Ive been following this for sometime, and would like to know if it was a good investment, this drive by wire is killing me.
