Dave,

Those are new he got sponsored by HRE way before the shoot....actually about two weeks after your SC was installed.

Props to Mr. Mitch "Flash" Gordon and his ride. Very nice ride, I can't imagine what a rush it must be to have that power on hand in the GS. Congrats to SRT as well, second time getting a nice write-up in Autoweek. Now the other auto mags need to quit sleeping and get some SRT cars in their aftermarket comparison tests. Anyway, great job guys What size are the 547 HRE's on the car BTW? Looks sweet!

Those are actually the 447s and if I had to guess, 19s.

Very nice choice, love the way they look on silver. He also had Supra TT brakes up front, did he switch to Stoptech as mentioned in the article? Lots of new upgrades (not that he needed any ).

Congrats to Mitch & SRT on the feature, and props to a well deserved GS400TT. That car is a monster period....but yet so so refined Lexus luxury.....

I'd never realized this, but this car is the ultimate sleeper, even wth the HRE's. it has such a subtle outer appearance, yet it can probably accerlerate with more sport bikes! Very nice, once again

They were sponsored? This is certainly news to me...

Anyway, the car is awesome!

Yeah SoCAL,
