Absolutely LOVE the GS-F. I had the opportunity to drive one around a track and it was a total joy. By no means was it FAST, but the way it sounded, the way the throttle responded with that NA V8, the steering response... just a great car and such a shame Lexus did such a terrible job marketing it.
At least they didn't use BMW marketing, eh "boomer"? Lol.

I'm glad you liked the GSF; It's such a blast and makes you work for it.

Just not worth it to me to buy on specs alone, especially when you're dropping $70k+ on a car. Would be nice if BMW sent some demos to regional dealerships so people can drive it instead of getting the typical hard sell from a dealership trying to convince you how special it is and how it can't be driven bc it's an M product.
The HEA cars are supposed to be those demos... but the dealers greed sell them instead
