Modern turbo engines could provide better response at the lower rpms on the highway (also sacrifice some response at the higher rpms) but still cannot as good as M35X on the highway.

(That's why my wife still loved M35X so much after she had driven M4 Competition for a day!!! 笑到噴淚

)

Of course, if you know how to choose the right gear, GSF will become very fun and much faster than M35X... I always think GSF's race-like V8 is very similar to a monster engine with high-rev VTEC responses and sounds!!! (Actually, I personally believe GSF's V8 is better than any Honda VTEC engines!!! 真心不騙

)

PS: If you don't know how to choose the right gear, you can play with Assetto Corsa to practice the skills!!! 笑到噴淚

People say Toyota family cars are too soft??? Does your Toyota has more body rolls than these trucks???

(I DON'T THINK SO!!! 笑到噴淚

)

People are TOO SENSITIVE... 笑到噴淚

(MX-5 also has a lot of body rolls!!!)

PS: Before you try to do something stupid on the road, please make sure your car has some decent tires installed. (These family cars are usually equipped with some narrow economy tires)

Believe it or not... The weight of 2024 C63 becomes 4660lbs now!!! 嚇到吃手手

2024 Mercedes-AMG C63

These German performance sedans are much more practical than supercars. However, they are like fragile lions and will not last long!!!(supercars will be even worse!!!) If their reliabilities can match 90% of Japanese cars' reliabilities, I think I will buy one... (Unfortunately, I think it will never come true in my rest of the life!!!

So far, they match merely 50% or even less!!!)

PS: Hoping Japanese can soon make something like this new C63... (Again... Unfortunately, I think it will not come true easily!!!

However, once they make it, it will definitely match at least 90% of German cars' performances!!! 拇指向上

I have changed the OEM rear tires PSS for over one year and 15K kms now. My GSF never got uncontrolled situation again... 拇指向上

I have to say those PSS tires are really dangerous when cold especially at colder weather!!! 拇指向下

(even though my GSF was designed for average drivers in mind and the suspension was still OEM!!!)

Recently I was busy in FISHING...

Again, I still love my GSF(tons of fun) and it has no problem so far, either. (Knock on wood)

The below is the first trout I caught in my life!!! Guess what... It weighted 6.91lbs!!! 笑到噴淚

I think I REALLY love Lexus performance cars. Only if I cannot find any Lexus performance car or similar, then I go Infiniti, instead.

Do I regret to buy my previous Infinitis? Not really!!!

Before 2013, I think Infinitis are still a better buy. Of course, if I'm in Taiwan now, I will still definitely choose Q50 300GT instead of IS300h...

In USA, I will choose IS500 over Q50 RS400 as IS500 is a newer and probably stiffer platform. I think, the latest IS platform should be at least as stiff as my GSF if not better. (That's why Lexus stop selling any GS since 2021)

Of course, my GSF still has stiffer suspension as it's a true F car...

I also believe the old RC platform is still stiffer than the latest IS platform. Of course, the LC platform is still the stiffest platform so far...

I think I find a super quick way to check how stiff a car platform is... 笑到噴淚

Just check the WEIGHT and the SIZE.

These Japanese car makers are very efficient and mature. If they can reduce the weight, of course, they will definitely do it. However, so far the only way to reduce car weight significantly is adopting some very expensive material like carbon fiber.

Even the most of those very expensive supercars don't have carbon fiber tubs like LFAs. They just adopt aluminum for their car tubs to reduce the weight. Carbon fiber still only contributes a small portion of the tubs!!! Of course, the body rigidity should also be sacrificed, as a result!!!

This could be my final chapter in my life... (Believe it or not, this GT3 car sounds very similar to my current GSF !!! 拇指向上

)

PS: Believe it or not, I NEVER own a brand new car in my life including my current GSF. (Thank you, Japan. All those cars were also very reliable, even thought many of them were installed with very stiff aftermarket suspensions!!!) So, I saved a lot of money on the way. Now, I think I deserve something really exotic!!! 笑到噴淚
