RedM Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Is it true that the four 'exhausts' are just for show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Question of the day. What does the "F" stand for? 10 Infraction points for the first correct answer...NO GOOGLING!!! Love the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 he did say it sounds different at high rpm... looking forward to him taking me out. I wanted under the engine cover too.... wanted to see the lump, not a sticklebrick cover It looked like normal white to me, how white can white be?? I did comment that he'd never been in my car, to which he replied that he's on high blood pressure pills, which I guess is a general decline on medical grounds... lol That and my car does not have a "drive sensibly" warning when you turn it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 The extra torque should make it a much better point to point everyday car than the current M3, but at that price one might expect most buyers to be not looking at power to weight and engine torque curves. Only saddos like me, who couldn't afford one anyway, look at things like that I am sure it will live up to the Lexus reputation for reliability and durability.

Tee from China Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 hate all those plastic engine covers They are not 'engine' covers but like in Alfa's' and Maserati's the covers just hide all the 'dirty' stuff like ABS modules/pumps relays ,wiring and other stuff that makes an engine look 'untidy' - which is why the yanks hide everything away and have just the engine, but this is not practical solution for mainstream manufacturers hence the covers (could always 'wrap' them in carbon fibre!!)

Gaz Walker Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 That is lovely. I would buy one in a heartbeat if I had that kinda money to spend on a new car. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
