Who's racing in an LS400?

Come on now...if anything but a luxurious grocery-getter, that cars a pimpish car, not a drag car

i guess it is his parents car so i know its bone stock. i think it is a 1994.
the kid wants to race for some money, like $50-100 so i want to make sure i can crush him

A 1994 will run the same times as a 4th gen auto. The latest model is faster, however.

Can you name one element of the LS400 that's even somewhat associated with "sport"? ****, every bolt in that car is luxury-aimed. The Maxima is no drag car, but the LS400 is far from a sport/luxury sedan in my eyes. The LSs are pure luxury, and are nice cars, albeit a tad overpriced.


but it just doesnt have the pep of our maximas.
hehe, I thought 'pep' was a sympathy word awarded to no-low-end 4-cylinders

I somewhat agree with this statement, BUT doesnt the LS in LS400 stand for "Luxury Sport"??

his car has a powerful engine, but its a tank. just dont try to race past 100, cut it off at like 70. it would definatly give a stock auto a run for its money, but u are modded. i beat one up to 5omph with my auto with only place racing CAI. u shouldnt have a problem just watch out for the GS400,that will hand you your own a**
