That exhaust is confusing. Why bother having it exit out the side when it’s already all the way back there? I don’t see any aero advantage. WEIRD

No. The RC is the ‘spiritual’ successor to the SC/Soarer. Lexus PR themselves have said as much essentially, though I can’t find the source right now.

I disagree. The RC is the replacement for the Soarer. Luxury focus, somewhat larger than its supra equivalent, etc.

I must be reading this bit wrong:

Sounds like you had an example that was thrashed, neglected, and abused. The S31 is far from perfect, but they aren’t any worse than any other coupe produced in the late 70's. It wasn’t exactly a great time for the automobile.

This made me laugh harder than it probably should have

Neither of us can determine what demand would be for something like this, but I would still regard anyone who would pay that sum for an NSX a fool.

They aren’t without their faults. Some people love the coupes and hate the 2+2's. I don’t get the hate though.

Doesn’t change the fact that the service is grossly overpriced.

The 2+2's are underappreciated. They are fantastic.

Those prices are ridiculous. $500 for a single day in a ‘96 NSX? Hahaha

All morons. Every last person there.

Wish I could star you twice

You realize this part of the tail is in TN, right? Not saying TN doesn’t have a similar law, but California code is obviously irrelevant here.

If you think the Miata’s driving isn’t reckless, please do not continue to drive.

True, but at the end of the day, it’s all about the actual output. Saying that the engine is doing OK for what it is, isn’t really relevant if you’re left wanting more torque. If anything, it’s an indicator that the platform is pretty close to tapped out in some cases. Here’s an admittedly silly illustration: “Hey…

I mean, it’s kinda meaningless to ever mention. It’s kind of like saying: “My car makes peak torque from 2000 rpms though redline, and I have a 32 inch inseam.” One piece of information is useful to know when talking about power delivery, and the other is entirely meaningless to everyone but my tailor.

13-14's have issues with bad pistons. Worth it to go 2015+

Torque/L is a completely, painfully, undeniably meaningless figure

Most GT40 replicas aren’t based on any other platform. They are built up from a tube chassis or a chassis based on the OE specs (racecarreplicas)
