Wow, it was my impression that 12 sec cars were slow and here everyone's discussing 14's and 15's.
I'm running 11's in my Talon AWD and 12's in my Eclispe FWD. Am I just missing something because I'm new to Lexus? I've been mostly a Mitsubishi and, of late, an Acura kinda guy.
I just got a 1993 SC300 - planning to turbo it. The stock block is supposed to be good till about 500 hp - is this true?

Actually, BMW is known for using pretty tall gearing, much like Lexus.
