Mo from SRT back in 2007

12.030 1998 GS400 Custom Supercharger

((No, SRT doesn't sell this supercharger (or any for that matter) for the 400/430's.)

Everytime I see this damn video I can't wait to throw in my SRT stage 3 supercharger...it's #6 of 20(?).

I would LOVE to run even high 12's reliably when I get this installed. This is a cool thread BTW.

Oh, I think Glenn will run low 13's @ 400whp...if he leaves the stereo system in...I am sure all that stuff could weigh close to 130lbs. GL!

What do you guys say?

Since I helped bring the S&S headers to market, and suggested the V8 section to be added here...

Can I get my car on this list? After all it is kinda like a 99 GS400 with an LS body, suspension and interior... IOW, I have the same engine, transmission a differential as a GS400. Of course I have a couple hundred extra pounds to motivate.

Here are my slips

I think it's a sweet video too, especially since it's all the way back in 07. I could have swore I posted it up to be put in the list before but it never got any recognition. Personally I think it was a pioneering car way before anyone else was even close to those times and should be treated as such (whether someone has beat the time or not) though I don't believe they have. It's still a street car with full interior, A/C, Nav, stereo and it drove 1.5 hours home under it's own power after running a 12.0. Is that not enough to get on the list?

I just read all of the pages in this thread. It looks like there are a few people that actually care about luxury cars that go fast. I just got a 2jz powered gs300, and i cant wait to build the thing.

If I can get to hook properly at WOT, then I feel I would get a serious time...eell, at least for an NA gs400. It totally defeats the purpose of me having a high stall torque converter and an LSD if I can only lauch part throttle to prevent massive wheelspin. I'm gonna find some nice grippy tires for my oem 16's and do some runs. I want to hook and go at WOT off the line. This has been my goal forever!

I'm not sure, I found a used set of Mickey Thompson drag radials on rx7 wheels for cheap. They should be here today.

Not to put a damper on this thread but I've listed a top time with video proof numerous times on this thread but everyone just looks over it. I'm just trying to give credit where it's due, is there a reason the vids I'm posted running 12.0's in a full body GS not acceptable? I've posted this numerous times....is it being overlooked for a reason? I always figured give credit where it's due.

u do need to fix a few things adam....in post one on your list you have # 4 of the gs300 group but this is what it says behind him

4 JMECBR900 12.6 @ 112 mph GS400

if he has a gs400 move him down to the gs400 group and you need to move macd7919 off the gs400 list. damain doesnt have a gs400 nor a custom supercharger....

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lex...7rwhp-15k.html

the video in post # 161 belongs to mo from SRT as he says. (give me a second and i will find his cl name)

post # 9 damian says he hasnt ever run his car cause of his speed limiter


EDIT: HIS CLUB LEXUS NAME IS/WAS Swift Racing.... he just doesnt come on CL at all anymore. last post is 11-06-07


while searching for MO i came upon this... i dunno if u require a video proof but if not here is this

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...don-mitch.html

so the gs400 list needs to be update for

flashgordan 12.00s ET @ 120mph (a original 4 horsman also) (he has/had a twin turboed SRT gs400)

i spent a little while this morning looking up the old 4 horseman (flashgordon last log in 10-07-06, Mariusz his last post was 09-01-06, 08:53 AM , lexciting last long in was 01-08-08,and i dont know if the other one was kensttgs400 last log in 04-12-04 or TTurboPimp) i think the ONLY one still around and in their gs is TTurboPimp

also this one

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...-s-smokin.html

so you can update the gs400 list with

kensttgs400 to 13.28 @ 108.8 mph SRT Twin Turbo GS400

the bigger problem is 90% of these OG'S who were pushing the power back then out of the v8's are gone or impossible to track down. i know atleast 2 of the horseman parted their kits and sold their cars....no clue what happened to the other 2
