...is kinda sparse, actually.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

And I’m already sensing a theme with the Ford GT not taking part in this test. If that car doesn’t show up for Best Driver’s Car, I might ask questions.

Last place: Giulia

“In order for us to reward a car on its driving merits, we actually need to be able to drive the damn thing. The loaner 500 they gave us while the shop worked on the Quadrifoglio was adequate, although much slower than the competition.”

*GASP* You mean to tell me there’s a GT R that’s not in the California Port Authority, where it’s been sitting for several months because of the EPA?

The LC500 is gorgeous. Did they already mention that?

I was kind of disappointed with the Lightning Lap field, too - plenty of cars, but just not many that got me excited...

So, we really need to make “superdupercar” a thing. At the very least it should be the accepted term for so-called hypercars here on OPPO.

A week ago I was looking at the Lexus website and I stumbled upon the LC500. Im like WTF, I haven’t seen this on Jalopnik yet. Saw a few videos and I love this car, it’s pretty much a Toyota Supra, but made by Lexus.

There already is one. It’s called Ultracar. Google SRO Ultracar.

One reason. It’s always a crapshoot, based on what’s new that year.

I just hate ultra- and mega-. At least superduper is fun.
