Gordon says the transmission can’t quite handle the twin Turbonetics T3/T4 hybrid ceramic ball-bearing turbocharger, either. It is reinforced, with fully built internals. The nuisance lies in the Lexus electronics. “It has trouble transferring all that power to the drivetrain,” Gordon says. “Back there, it kind of hung up a bit.”

I nodded, thoroughly unable to relate.

This is how sophisticated Lexus performance tuning has become, taking over where Supra tuning left off and spawning monster-horsepower street rides and ever better performance. SRT was able to solve Gordon’s transmission problem simply by applying new software to the car.
anyone have any clue what software was used ???
