That would be a sick buy!! But, Like you said finding one would be the harder part.

I love it as its got power, looks good, 4 drs, 4/5 seater. If I had a family right now, I'd most likely not have the S(unless it was paid off) and have something like this or maybe more likely a 06-07 TL

It's got HUGE power, the 4.3L in the Lexus has a healthy amount of torks... but one afternoon coming home, a certain local (nearly identical) Holden left me like I was standing still. He got a huge thumbs up from me.

I know this might sound silly, but why even stitch a digital picture, you could zoom out and crop to get the same exact thing basically. I'm just curious, with film panoramic you get the distortion from the lens moving, but you really don't get a sense of a panoramic from a stitched digital.

Yes I could have, but I just wanted to try it. It was only 5 pictures, which could have been 2, which could have been 1 to get that same picture probably.

But, I wanted to try it, and well, we only have so many places here to try and get a good pano. Just trying different things, just so I know how to do them.

Yea, I remember seeing some very simple mods that added very nice gains when the car was still pretty new. Its been a little while now and I'm sure its only gotta a bit better.

I'm sure it is possible to get decent MPG out of it too. Kinda like Z06's getting 30+ mpg and having 400+ HP. Granted you are using CC and not raping it all over, but it is possible to get some nice MPG out of them, all while having some power.
