if you want a luxury cruiser its better than the F-type imo, but still behind the LC500. though it does weigh ALOT less than those two.

If you want a sports car its behind the 911.
LC500 is a nice looking car, but for the $ it's lol wtf hell no. Same drivetrain as the IS500 & not really any faster. Values will drop like a rock once we are out of this full retard world

Same engine, different drivetrain. Doesn't make a world of difference, but just clarifying.

just depends on what you're after. the LC is definitely not a sports car. its more in line with a s-coupe, db9, granturismo. and it has the 10 speeed which blows away the zf8 in the supra i drove.

i agree i wouldn't have it as a sports car. but as a 2nd or 3rd car its very nice. they are about 30k off msrp now for used ones. where a base c8 is still around msrp.

Beautiful design and the engine position is right where it belongs (upfront).

A friend recently bought a GTR to replace his CS track car.

It's impressive and underappreciated.

I just had to post a photo. It's even meaner in person and less expensive than a GT3.

Ridiculous road presence compared to a GT3 imo. I spend way more time than I'd like to admit admiring the design whenever I see a clean and proper AMG GT-S/C/R/etc on the road.

This reminds me of the opportunity I had back in 2019 to buy a CPO 2017 GT-S for $80k or so... How I regret not taking the plunge.
