I don't know much about the older ones, but I have actually ran a SC430 with my current GT. I think the newer ones put out 288 hp, but I didn't have any problems with him. I got him by at least 3-4 car lengths from 10 mph to 100 mph.
What does inflation matter? They still weren't inexpensive cars, but what's the point?
The point of comparing inflation adjusted msrp numbers is because if you wanted to compare my dad's 69' camro 350 that he paid next to nothing for compared to todays cars it would make everything look ridicilous.. same reason to compare a 12 year old cars msrp adjusted for inflation to what you get for todays price...
Always nice to see how you get more for less, in any vehicle.. <3 capitalism.
Why is an inflated number needed? The MSRP was ~50K back in 1999.... vehicles cost more today but you can't claim inflation is the sole reason why they cost more and scale numbers. Lame.
However it is part of the picture and it doesn't hurt to account for that when making comparisons. The Lexus was an expensive car back then. Once you take inflation into account it becomes even more evident that was the case.
50k to 61k.. i guess not a lot of difference.... whats 11k? chump change... I think my dad said he paid 6,000 for his brand new camaro 1969 yellow, 350... in todays dollars that is $40,535.
I don't see the point in even comparing the price tags of two cars built in separate decades, that were in different classes to begin with, especially if just comparing straight line capabilities and nothing else.
