So... if you want me to spoil the race KEEP READING.

How unfortunate. Our LS is not the performance race sedan that people wish it was. Awwww. If I wanted a real racer, I'd get one. A few things that I noticed though... the LS is a tank and underpowered compared to the others. Guess that power to weight ratio isn't as high as it should be.

wow the LS was so quiet compared to the other cars.

Yes toms celsior is supercharged.

I know poeple say the ls430 is underpowered but 0-60 in 6s is pretty fast. The ls460 is only faster at higher speeds.

Actually, i feel its stronger then my GS430... with that 6-speed, its no slouch. But its not a car to be compared with cheaper, or even more expensive extreme performance sedans.


I dont think the OP was suggesting that our cars are underpowered, or anything of that nature. I think he just wanted to share the video of the LS in action. So thanks for posting it up, I've never seen it before

Really love the TOM's kit on the silver LS.

I also appreciate the post and enjoyed watching the video. I didn't like the outcome, but that's cool.

Cheers.

Looks like the Toms supercharger is only good for 1/4mile races. Ours cars are just not built for cornering
