I get a lot of thumbs up in traffic as well as a lot of head turning.
At lights, people all the time make the sign to roll my windows down and ask me what it's got in it. When I tell them, stock motor with I/H/E they usually think i'm lying. Sometimes they're just shocked it's a V8 or that Lexus makes V8's in general.
Had a guy in a Trans Am a while back follow me a few miles till we hit a light. Just to ask me what it had done to it and told me it sounded very american muscle.
Last week some guys in a jacked up F250 were riding next to me for a while just staring. They saw the Z06 calipers and with the way it sounds they told me they thought it had an LS1 in it.
The other day I came out of Advance and the guy that worked there was taking pictures of it and demanded to hear it after seeing the fireball mega's. Turns out we knew a few of the same people and he was getting work done on his 7m mk3 supra at a shop we both use.

Funny thing is, this is actually the first time I've ever been proud to own a car. Not just proud of my car, but I digress.

Funny thing I get the same looks...but when they hear and see my exhaust .... When I'm parked and they see my oem interior they are shocked that it's is a 92.... I don't know about you all... It makes me feel great...lol

When my work wheels were chrome I use to get a lot more looks. I still get the occasional thumbs up or person that stops me at a grocery store begging to sell my car to them.
Can you blame them....

I love this car. I just need boost and to figure out a small vibration issue.
