As always Mike, you show off some interesting clips of the ES potential

Moving this to Car Chat to get other people's feedback.

Sad to see you abuse such a nice car. I mean, rev to redline and drop a auto into D or 1st.

Don't expect anyone to feel for you when your tranny blows.

That 3-liter was making the sweet sound of sex right before you dropped into gear

I love that engine. Cool video.

Haha I can arrange that. I titled it burnout.launch since I ended up dropping the clutch at about 3,000rpms less than I had planned. We didnt have time to take another video, so I'll work on a nicer one this weekend.

The car can handle it. I have a clutch that can take up to 430 foot lbs of torque, and the tranny has been through every horrid abuse scenario known to man. If it breaks, I'll just upgrade like I do with all of my other parts. I expect you all to laugh when I blow it and to encourage me to do the same stuff I have been doing on here throughout the years

It's not a auto? I didn't know Lexus made manuals back then? My bad, I was thinking it was a auto.

Yea the 92-93 ES300s had a pretty rare manual.
