LC500?

JK001 · 07-19-2018, 08:20 PM

Yep, I know this car resides in a different universe than the Camaro but I am interested in people's opinion on the LC500. I sat in one but did not drive it. Incredible interior, not a bargain price for the performance, but looks to be an amazing GT car. What do you guys think?

From looking at the numbers (strictly performance, 0-60 in ~4.7 sec and 1/4 mile in ~13.2 sec) it already appears the Camaro has won. And for that money you could get yourself a ZL1 1LE and have some extra change for new tires when you destroy your factory ones doing donuts around the Lexus.

If you're asking about comfort and luxury, Camaro stands no chance.

Great looking car spoiled by the grill and tail lights. Too expensive for what you get and I'm not a fan of that guage cluster. Of course, the interior is nice and will satisfy those that care about refinement. If I had that kind of cash handy though, I'd probably splurge a little more and pickup a ZR1, or settle for a Zl1 and bank the rest.

What STReddy1999 said sums it up. Performance it's beat but everything else it's got the Camaro beat. So from a GT aspect, the LC500 is amazing.

Looks are one thing, but have you heard this car yet? V8 in the LC500 sound VERY good, and it looks like this? Winner for sure.

RS200M's on this one:

You are absolutely right. Sounds amazing, very unique exterior, and the interior is no doubt of highest class. Not as fast as other cars in the same money bracket (or below 1LE), but sometimes how the car makes you feel is more important than numbers. It would make a great Christmas present

It's more of a GT touring type car. A different beast compared to the SS.

But so pretty. Expensive enough to make you "dream"
