Actuallly had a black 09' pull up along side me yesterday at traffic light. Was kind of cool, we both gave each other a momentary glance of recognition then he turned left and I went straight. Not much of a first encounter but I must say the car looked mean and I will be looking for him in the future!!

You mean next time it's gonna be...

yeah baby, I'll be in if he is!!! Of coarse being the responsible driver that I am (as I'm sure we all are!!) will hopefully be the right place at the right time.

Those beasts trap over 121 mph even though the fastest slip I've seen at dragtimes.com was 12.3......This just in, the new CTS-V has trouble hooking up and putting it's power to the pavement.........you wouldn't say

Caddy's reliability is real suspect, not to mention all the bad news regarding GM. I think I will stick with Lexus.

I would. I've looked at the V a few times now, and while I haven't driven it yet, I would certainly choose it over the GTR. The main reasons being 4 doors, it's more luxurious inside and has more room. Had the V been available when I got my F, I would have looked at it seriously. For now, I'd considering adding it to my garage, but would never replace my F with it.

True that. GM might still go belly up.

Lexus all the way (even over the GT-R) for reliability, looks, and last but not least: company longevity.

Person who started the thread isnt the person who's car is in the video. Video is set to public again
