You have not driven a LS then

Usually if your on the fence about something that means that you dont really want to do it, which means dont do it. If you need the extra seats then go for it and sacrifice on the Wow factor, if its not about the room, and you just want a change, then for 60k and getting rid of a Z, I say no deal.

They actually have a used 2010 GTR on the used car lot at Lexus with 12k miles and over 30k in performance upgrades. It's super clean... for 72k

I thought about it for a second... and just the fact that some other dude farted in the car and probably beat the **** out of it. No deal.

A friend of mine has one and he removed the muffers & it sounds great without any compromise. He put a 125 shot of Nitrous on it to give it that put-away kick, but the price & 4 doors keep me away, I respect Toyota for developing & bring this car to the market.

Looks like a mom car.

I say if you need 4 seats? Test drive a bunch of cars. At 60k. There's a huge option of sports sedans that drive well. From AMG mercedes, CTS-V, BMW m3, the lexus you have already driven, audi S4, infiniti G and M series, and I'm sure I'm probably missing a few options. Just for comparisons sake, I would also check out the hyundai genesis 5.0 R-spec. That car getting is share of hooplah...

Test drive them all first. That's what makes the process both informative and fun.
The Z driving characteristics are fun unique and addicting. Like everyone has said, If you can't keep the Z? Get something that will inspire you. Don't jump in the first car you test.
