Ha, like S8ER said you pretty much have no chance.. No offense or anything but those cars are fast. Don't let the power numbers fool you. A friend of mine has one and it rips on 5.0s and GT500s pretty easily. They are extremely well engineered and worth the price they go for. The tranny alone is insane..

That's cool, I've actually seen them race in person as we have an ISF owner in our club.. He pulls our member's 5.0s all day long from a roll (completely eliminates the driver mod).. A modded 5.0 is different of course, but then you get into the game of modded vs stock and blah blah blah.. I'm talking stock for stock..

To answer your question. Yes you can stay with one for a second or 2 on launch. Most likely it would be a spin fest in the street for both of you with your 4.10s and him trying to deal with launching a car with alot of power he isn't used to yet. As soon is the lexus gets traction you'll see tail lights get small in a hurry.

Ha, yeah it is.. But then again, he did pay $70K for the car so I wouldn't expect any less.. It is a sweet looking ride though, inside and out. I would buy one if I had that to throw.. And the exhaust note is intoxicating through the quad outlets..

well it probably wasnt quite 70 cause it is used. but expensive nonetheless. the exhaust note is very awesome sounding, but ever since i got my car i have been in to low tone exhaust and i think mine sounds awesome too.
