Cool So added the Vossen, RS*R, Nitto goodies...needed to slay something...hi der Dragon..

Full write-up to come with pics....what started as a Sunday drive with the wife ended up to killing a world famous Dragon

Blown away with how the GS F-sport drove on US 129 "Tail of the Dragon" as well as various mountain roads. No comparison to the modified 2GS or 3GS.....not even close...Lexus really outdid themselves with the GS.....

you were just so excited with your ride, that you had to come post this and leave us with no pictures. You truly suck.

Glad you had fun Blueprint... The question is, who drove the GS? You or the MRS. ? I have to agree that the GS is well put together.

They are RS*R "down" springs, so a 1" drop, "super down" are 2".

Tires are Nitto Invo
245/35/20
285/30/20

No rubbing issues at all and the car has rear steer.

Wheels are 20x9 +32 and 20x10.5 +45

First pic is going up the Dragon...freaking Corolla slowing me up.. notice the HUD in the pic

2nd pic at the scenic lookout on top the Dragon

3rd pic after slaying the Dragon the first time

4th pic is of the interior we love so much

5th pic IMO came out good with the rocks...classic color combo

When the pics from Killboy upload I'll buy them and post up...

Beautiful! I think white is the best color for the 4GS.

Dude, I got to dig them up, but I have the same pictures in two of the same spots with my NSX from 2000... Film days man.

Miss that place.

Looks like you and the Mrs. had a great time! Sounds like it'll be you asking to borrow her ride more often now... Her GS looks beautiful!

Hi Blueprint,

Could you go into more detail comparing the handling feel. How does it compare to other vehicles you have driven along the same course?

Thanks
