    why bother....

    really.... this is insane for a LEASE!!!

    http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/17/l...-due-at-signi/

    I can't wait till a video pops up online of an Fbody blowing the doors off one of these. I don't care how fast it is.... there is a 10 year old Fbody out there that is faster and some rich Dbag who thinks being rich automatically makes him and his car schumi and a ferrari F1 car will find that Fbody... and race it... and it will be videotaped and his loss will be posted for us to see and we will all and balance will be restored to the world.

    But yeah.... totally ridiculous procedure to get into such a car....

    That's insane. I don't care how much money I had to throw away, I'd never pay that much to lease a car. Any car.

    Folks with losta $$$ will snatch them up. IIRC, the Lexus dealer my father works for is training salespeople for the LF-A. Just like the IS-F. And the IS-Fs aren't sitting on the lot for very long, either.

    So?



    Look, the Lexus IS-F is enough to take down a stock LS1 F-Body. I imagine this is MUCH faster.
    Worth that price tag? Nothing is.

    but if you had that much money you could get that $8,000 car wax!

    still...dumb as hell to pay so much for literally absolutely nothing.

    It's throwing your money away. I mean, I'm not saying I wouldn't like to drive it. I just can't justify spending so much on a car. A car you don't even own no less

    What can I say... I'm frugal

    No I'd never spend that kind of coin on something worth half as much when I go 2 miles down the road

    it's common sense. only a moron (or some rich a-hole with WAY too much money) would ever spend nearly 300k on something which they won't and can't ever own. that's literaly throwing money away.

    Ridiculous, but I'd imagine most folks who could afford to buy a car like that simply see it as a toy they'll own for a few years then toss away for another toy. Kinda like the guy who traded in his $1 mil Bugatti Veyron for a new Corvette ZR-1. To many of those folks, it's no big deal.

    I think he also got cash from the dealer, once they found a buyer.

    I know, but the point is, it's just a fun toy to have for a bit to many of them. They won't miss the money spent.
