SC400 VS my 2k2 auto max
SC400 VS my 2k2 auto max
This girl at my work keeps arguing with me that her lexus sc400 will kill my max. Even after presenting the facts to her from three different sources that state that SC400 runs 1/4 in 15.3 and I have time slips to prove that my max ran a 14.7 and I have raced a SC400 couple of times in the past that I beat without trying much, that Ive posted about, she still thinks that her lexus is so fast that can smoke my max. She even said that she beat a cobra in it which I almost dropped to my knees from laughing so hard.
I guess im going to have to teach her a lesson and race the lex.

Wow, this stuff is getting scary. For the past 3 nights every car I have encountered in a race has showed up by someone else on this board.
Last night I raced some kid in an older SC400, started at about 40 and I shut it down at 75 with me a little bit ahead of him. I have a 2k1, I'm sure your 3.5L will smoke it!

This chick won't win, esp. if your on the highway. I saw this one guy weaving on the highway and he passes me, then I floor it, and catch up with him easily. Were up to about 110 mph and I had to exit and the guy gave me thumbs up for spanking him.

I wouldn't be so quick to discount their abilities, they are powerful cars although a bit heavy.
Race her anyway and show her that even should you lose that her overpriced car isn't much faster or isn't faster than your car.
Good luck

not even any new lexus has 430 bhp as far as I know
the SC430 has a 4.3L V8, but it doesn't have no Bubb Rubb 430bhp
has more like 300-320bhp
and the old SC400 had like 280 or something...

My borther has a '97 SC400, and i have a 95 Maxima. Anytime we race, he eats me alive. Its not even funny how fast he pulls away. We're both auto, so its not like one of us can shift better than another in these cars......Im thinking that it might be close if you go from a start.....she's got that RWD action.
Oh yea- and i agree what was stated above- "let her win, and then tap that ***!!!!"

BTW her lex has 260 hp and 270 tq but is heavy and much slower in 1/4 mile. Its only 6.8 0-60 so I should definitely have no problem plus it has a lot higher milage so that means some power loss.

people comment on threads before reading even the original topic. He said SC400. So it's not a SC430, it's not a SC300, it's not a 3.0L, heck it can't even be a V6. It's not a manual, it doesn't have 430HP.
Read the darn threads, then reply.
