I'm just saying I'd never do it, won't ever do i, but think there could be real consequences. there is a disclaimer on the dash/ infotainment so you acknowledge
"Yes this is just for parking at a car show" or
"I'm only doing this on a racing circuit and understand it makes the car illegal"
"Yes this is just for parking at a car show" or

I guess one solution would be to prevent the car from being moved when in the lowered position (for car shows) and only moved in lowered position when GPS detects you are at a race circuit.

I find it difficult to believe that in it's normal ride height you would be so at risk of damaging the front spoiler that you wouldn't want to drive it on the road....

There is enough money involved here, particularly w/ the included ADM, that this will undoubtedly be a contested liability hot potato. Fraud, latent defect, operator error, etc. Potentially the manufacturer has the most at stake long term.

I agree with CJ on the assessment cost in repairing/replacing carbon fiber components underneath the car. I was inquiring about repair/replacement cost of carbon fiber components underneath a CGT (which does not have front lift hydraulics) and minimally speaking it would easily cost an entry level Lexus. They are expensive.

I would find it hard to drive the car on the street without lowering the car. Not that i can afford one. But those wheel gaps are just too much imo.

Btw, here is the video of the Senna burning.

Can we stop talking about that knucklehead and get back to talking about cars?
600LT Spider is just around the corner. I'm not normally an open-top guy but the thought of ripping around with open flamethrowers a few inches behind my head is strangely appealing....

Yeah, the penalty is a lot less than say with Ferrari. Not sure the percentage of stiffness loss, but I think it was something like 30% on a Spider. That has to show up.
