you could easily kill the earlier gen LS400s as well, they are **** heavy cars, 0-60 only like 8.1. I think up to 96 or 97? I forgot when they upgraded the engines. Sticks w/mods probably have a shot with later gen LS400s as well, autos not as good of a chance.

GS400's are fast too.. right around 6sec for 0-60 is quite respectable for a huge lux car. two of my friends have them, they drive nice too, I love em
one of my friends has chrome rims (he had factory chrome, now switched to spreewells or whatever (the kind that spin when your not moving.. they are PHAT ! )) so I wonder how much those slow him down... although would those rims slow you down much?

just so everyone could see me, haha. But those davins would sow down any car A LOT! You could probably take him in a race b/c of those wheels. Also, if you're intersted in picking up a set of those, you can find them on ebay for about 8 grand (without tires) or at your local wheel shop for 10,000 without tires.

t-turbo lexus
Too bad there is no engine swap for the Max. Nissan developed 3 or 4 completely different 3.0L V6's during 90's.
There is hardly any *real* power upgrade, except for the over priced stillen s/c.
Nissan owners are left out, and I still refuse to buy Honda.

Remember, the 400's come with a Supercharged V8, I don't know too many people that would buy that car, then remove the Supercharger just to throw in a Turbocharger. If a person was planning on supercharging a car I would assume that they would buy one that doesn't have any forced induction apparatus on it already...Just a though

Max vs Lex
Ok, so it looks like this:
To race a,
SC300 (auto or manual) you need a stock max or better.
SC400 (auto) you need a 5-speed, with some mods.
SC300 with tt-supra motor, you need pressure.

GS400 in stick
There is a gs400 with a stick on my old college campus. I know it is stick. I know it is a gs400. The kid has a lot of money, his dad owns some IT start up company in the city. I dont know where he lives now. Alls I remember was jogging around the track and hearing the sound of a corvette coming down the road...looking up and seeing this sick looking gs400 in silver pulling into the parking lot. I actually saw the car on a few other occaisions but never driving. But I did see under the hood and MY GOD!!! Sickest Lex I hav ever seen...to bad the kid was a total jerk. I thought that this mod was impossible...but I guess when You have money...nothing is impossible.
