Well you seem content with quoting brochure and magazine times for a 10 year old hybrid, I prefer to use real world data.
In the Dragy leaderboards there is ONE LS600h running a 6.3 second 0-60 and runs the quarter mile in 14.9 seconds, its surrounded by LS430s! The top of those leaderboards are all 460s.
As for the 60-130 and my claims for the CVT, the only real data I have comes from comparing the GS460 and GS450h, which I think is a fair comparison to the LS460 and LS600h.
There are TWO 450h 60-130s, both around 17.5 seconds compared to my GS460 which ran 15.1 seconds, the slower of the 450h has similar mods to my 460(so one is either stock and runs better than the modified one(less likely), or they are both modded but only one lists his mods(most likely)), and BOTH have decent DAs. The largest gap comes after 100mph, in fact up to 90 mph its pretty close. Not to mention that the GS450h has a final drive of 3.7 compared to the 600h which is 3.9, which is more aggressive and better suited to 0-100. This means that a 600h would suffer even worse than a gs450h at 100+, even more with the extra 1000 lbs.
so we're just gonna ignore the small town publications (aka car and driver and motor trend )that tested it and the youtube video of a 600 running a 14.2 , But then take 2 completely different cars and try to guess the performance?? Seems legit 🙄 lol

Is that the video where he doesn't show his time slip? seems legit lmao
in the very next video, he does another run and doesn't show a time slip, but you can hear the announcer call out VERY CLEARLY that he got a 14.62. And I found another video of one running a 15.2.
If you can't see the comparison between two sets of VERY similar cars then I can't help you anymore.
Like the idea of having a supercharger added to the big body Lexus, to make it fast and still understated.

We will try to keep the price down compared to our ISF/RCF/GSF KITS, but it will likely be around $9000.
HP spec will be at least 550hp or so.
Overall goal for the car will be to make it a real sports sedan, with our own proper suspension and brakes for a total package of power and handling.... no VIP and curtains on the windows
Anyone genuinely interested or are we wasting our time?

When was the RRR quote taken? Is this still a thing? I occasionally look at these sedans but hesitate due to the lack of power. Supercharger would be great!

Yes please. That would be amazing, I can already smoke other performance cars out there in my stock RWD LS460L, to be able to smoke everything would be amazing.
Elate is making one, R&D is in progress and it will be a better option since you can use a wide variety of headunits and can customize it to exactly what you want

im heavily considering the Elate supercharger kit, not sure how my motor would hold up with the extra boost though as I already burn a decent amount of oil and the motor has 260k km on it
