Default Traded my sports car for the new LS 500 F Sport

Hi guys. New to this forum. Last week I traded in my Corvette Stingray Z51 for a brand new LS 500 F Sport. I needed a larger car for my growing family. I've own Lexus cars before so the LS seems like the best choice to meet my needs. I also plan on tracking the LS as I did with my Corvette.

Very nice! Congrats and welcome! Please share photos and your thoughts on the car once you get more time behind the wheel of it!

Congrats!

Tracking an LS? You don't hear that everyday. Consider me subscribed!

yes, I go to many track events...from drag racing to autocross. I also go to racing school and I've seen a few YouTube videos that show the LS 500 fsport on the track. Also spoke to a few Lexus people at car shows. They told me the new LS a a capable track machine. I know it's not going to be anywhere as fast as my corvette but I will try my best!

I don't have words to express how stunning that is. Atomic Silver + F-Sport on the LS =

Congrats on the new car and I wish you good luck with it.

That is a very aggressive looking car, I could see it out on the track.
