3600 pounds, RWD 260hp/270trq through a 4 speed automatic. I'd guess a high 14 second car, on average? Almost identical numbers to an auto New Edge GT.

They're not that fast. Mid 6s for 0-60.. you won't have trouble.

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.

Actually mid 7s, and they run the 1/4 in 16 seconds at a blazingly fast 91 mph.

If you lose OP, it's because you put it in reverse instead of drive, or you suck beyond all suck. Kill him, and kill him good.

Those cars were so overpriced when they came out. Yikes. Kinda neat to think after you adjust for inflation they cost way more than an s197 gt and yet they would get pretty much dominated at a drag strip.

What does inflation matter? They still weren't inexpensive cars, but what's the point?

Alot of the current lexus's would get dominated by a s197 at the drag strip, and are still more expensive

Not everyone buys a car for 1/4 mile performance, especially guys in the market for a lexus

should have no issues..I used to beat up on them and the sc430 alot when i had my LT1 car. Worst part is the Lexus guys would keep trying...
