Don't know about that - but then again, even if so, the Lexus owner will probably be crusing right behind the z28 in near dead silence, talking to his three adult passengers. > I don't think the Lexus buyer has power as high on his list as luxury. Perhaps that's why Lexi are so unresponsive on the road? Put it this way - a z28 and a Lexus will get you there in the same amount of time - but a Lexus will get you there in quiet, refined, back pressing, driver-friendly comfort, while a z28 will be snorting up a storm, while the driver has slap the stick around with two of his tall friend's knees in his back. You get what you pay for - but and that's why the Lexus costs more. Also why there are fewer Lexi than Z28's. Bryan
