I know I mentioned it once, but here's my formal intro. I figured since nothing ever breaks on my Lexus I needed something to work on :D You know.... give the tools their first use :D Show them what it's like to fix something :D:D

So I bought this:
(see why a non Lexus owner previously owned the car - spot the stupidity and win ......... nothing)

I am not a fan of American cars exept for the Vette and Viper. Congrats :thumbup:

Nice! I'm a big fan of the L-98 tuned-port motors. Madd torque monsters for real. I used to have a 91' Trans Am WS-6 with the same motor. They make alot of stuff for the L-98 engines. Just on bolt-ons alone you'll be available to get that "seat-off the pants feeling". Happy modding :thumbup:

Madd torque monsters for real

Factory with 348 ft. lbs. :thumbup: No doubt they are good in that department :)

My SC400 = 210 ft. lbs.

Well, you bought it.......congragulations. :thumbup: You've been talking about that red ' Vette and posting pictures of it for days now....and even doing polls on it, like the trim color.

Looks like he missed that section in the Owner's Manual on tire rotation . . . . :p

DING DING DING....... but the plot thickens........... They are rotatation specific tires and guess what.......... they are facing the correct way :D:D

HAHAHAH....I knew you were getting a Vette, but didnt want to say anything in that poll thread. Good choice, and very nice ride. So whats the details on this car man?? Year, Mileage, Manual?? How you like it so far??

Runs very good. Not much to tell, just a toy. As seize said, it's V-8 V/S my Lexus V-8 has 140 more ft lb of torque which is over half the Lexus torque doubled into the Vette engine........... basically it's fun to drive. :)

Car looks hot, congrats !! :thumbup:

Yes.......well-cared-for Lexuses are virtually bulletproof...but have a Toyota or Lexus technician in the service bay show you what happens to the inside of the 3.0 V6 in the Camry / ES300 / RX300 / Highlander when people don't change the oil diligently on these engines. I've seen a number of examples of it...it is not a pretty sight.

Beautiful car..............Congrats :)

I am starting to get the feeling this was someone elses weekend toy also.

It's a different kind of Chevy........the one you can actually enjoy :D ! Congrats OLT :thumbup:
My first experience with a vette is just sliding down my hand the metal door slot/opener? on the stingray. :p

DING DING DING....... but the plot thickens........... They are rotatation specific tires and guess what.......... they are facing the correct way :D:D


Except the shop mounted the tires on the wrong rims.

It's original. The service records from the dealer are in the glovebox (or in this case armrest)

Congrats :thumbup:

Brian,

Next you need a garage/car port to protect those beauties!

damn, An SC, 3-series, and a vette? sounds to me like your in a ideal car situation :thumbup:

damn, An SC, 3-series, and a vette?

I have two SC's... one is stock, the other modded a little. Then the 3 series, then the Vette. I just recently got rid of the Porsche.

In the chicken and egg timeline:

-black Sc400
-BMW
-Porsche (now gone)
-gold Sc400
-Vette

It gives me a good variety and I like that. As a libra, I have to have my balance. :)
