Opinions?

I test drove the IS-F yesterday and financing is already lined up, but i just can't seem to pull the trigger. At first i thought the choice was simple, but the Lexus just seems to be missing the WOW factor that my Z has.

And although it's got a 5 liter V8 and supposedly can run a mid 12 in the 1/4 mile stock... it doesn't seem that fast and even with the paddle shifters is kind of boring to drive.

Interior is prestine. I love the luxury feel of it and when you do want to step on it.... it definitely goes. The handling is also amazing for the 2011's. Lexus really stepped their game up on the IS-F in that respect.

The question is... is it worth 60k+ and worth getting rid of "Lola".
