For what it is worth, my LS actually makes me feel not so old.
It's no secret that that average age of LS new car buyers (ES too) is up around 60, but it's good to see that pre-owned buyers tend to be younger and appreciate the car. It makes for a nice wide owner pool.

Lamborghini and Ferrari owners tend to average their late 50s too. The reason is because they are the ones who've earned enough money to buy the cars.

same reason why the true potential of these cars is never realized. These older drivers are much less likely to go a bit crazy on the highways when pushing these 550-650 hp super cars

Makes me feel like a kid again...second day of being a new LS460 owner, a couple in their sixties pulled up to the stop light next to me in a brand new Corvette. We never made eye contact but when the light turned green, we both floored it. He backed off when the needle went somewhere past 100MPH...I am sure Vette dude was worried about engine break-in...I was worried about how much a ticket was for doing a 100+ in a 45 MPH zone late at night...not to mention drag racing...first thought was jail time. After the coast was clear all I remember was laughing the whole way home thinking I was sixteen again in my 15 year old '65 Shelby Mustang...wish I still had that car!

Anybody really dialed up the what this car can do with a heavy foot? I dont have the intestional fortitude...but curious what that feels like?!?!?

Oh, they drive plenty fast, believe me. It's just that they have lots of experience and know when and where to drive. They know how to remain off the front page news.
