I did, that's why it only lasted a little over a year.

Unobtanium replied to the thread Considering a CTR.Thanks! This is the kind of info that I am looking for. I would quickly get bored of the Lexus from what you're saying.

I noticed you said you were considering an RCF. I have some experience with the platform. The Lexus is a supremely comfortable car, but...

Unobtanium replied to the thread Considering a CTR.Like I said, it's very far outside of its mission statement, but that doesn't mean I'm not curious about it.

Unobtanium replied to the thread FL5 Transmission Fluid recommendation.My opinion is 8-1200mi. Key word is OPINION. If I end up with a CTR, I plan to do diff,trans,oil initially at 1k. This is a habit that's...

Unobtanium replied to the thread Considering a CTR.How "replaceable" is the front end stuff. Like the 2 grills and the front air dam? Also, side skirts? On the Viper, and my Z06, side...

Unobtanium replied to the thread Considering a CTR.I floored it in r mode in 2nd from 3500rpm and had no loss of traction during my test drive. The road was far from great surface, too.

Unobtanium replied to the thread Considering a CTR.I feel like gearing is huge. For example back when I had my ev6 gt, if I ran a current model mustang gt, and it was manual, nothing...

I'll keep it short and simple. If you care about the driving experience, the FL5 Type R is a superior car to the M2, Nismo Z, and...

Unobtanium replied to the thread Considering a CTR.That is one appeal to the CTR, even more if they sell a complete HRC and I buy that---If I do get bored of it, it won't rob me on the...

Will it do it for you? You're asking a group of people who can't answer that question to help you make a decision that only you can...
