I will be one of 250 in Canada and they will differ from US because we don't get 6.1" touchscreen haha but I'd love the rarity of being a 1 of 450 LFA owner, or better yet 1 of 50 LFA Nurburgring Package.

I fancy the BAC Mono myself for rarity, beauty, and uniqueness, but again, it's a subjective opinion

If it were road going here, it would be on the wish list.

Don't get me wrong... I love the FRS in everyway... but I'm a BMW snob...

A few 10 Series paint samples from a tC on display at the Rose Cup races today and a couple of FR-S's. Note color change taken moments apart on hood. Blue is apparent though less visible than yesterday when the sun was lower. Today it was directly overhead.

Videocam is what the NBCsports crew used during interviews. I think they were laying it on a little thick, but said of the two dozen interviews they did over three days, I was the only 10 Series owner (in waiting) with both track and autocross experience who made relevant comments. The total interview was about 15 minutes, maybe 7-8 questions. They gave me an SD card with raw footage but I'm too shy to post it here. I actually forgot the name of the car review program where it'll appear, but if you see some dude in a blue Hawaiian shirt spouting off about the glories of an FR-S and wish list for future improvements, that would be me.

How? I imagine CA as having the most stringent rules in the country so if it's OK there, it must be everywhere.

As the sun goes down does the paint almost look flat silver?

Sunset here is 9:00PM. I wasn't at the track that long but had some intermittent cloud cover that made it look like an intermediate hue silver, neither a bright 911 silver or darker FR-S Argento. It wasn't what I'd call flat, but it also didn't have the pop of a mica or metallic paint. It's more of a refined color, something expected on an SC/LS F Sport Lexus.
