Well 0-60mph and not in the quarter mile I can handle my own...These little 4.0L dual overhead cam engines can really get working especially if you throw a 150 nos shot on it, LSD, fat soft rears, etc...Bring on the Cobra's....Just please keep the Saleens and GT500's away from me..I've been smoked once by a strong Saleen, and was smoked again in the flat by the GT500...I learned my lesson the hard way..The Saleen race was close 0-60 but the GT500 was not.....I want no part of those beasts...
The auto trannies are the achilles heal with the SC400's...Just incase you ever decide you want to make your SC4 FAST...At somewhere around 300whp you will experience untimely shifts, extended shifts out of 2nd...It's just ugly...I had to build up my stock tranny to handle the nos...Just a story for the readers..
I should have bought a TT Supra but still love the luxury aspect of the SC's....

cobras for breakfast? sorry, but my '03 ran 11.60's all day. i appreciate all the advice, but i'm trying (well, TRYING) to keep this car really clean, and just do some appearance and stereo mods, however, i'm really starting to see the potential for something more. as far as the speed thing goes, i think my next project is going to be a modular powered fox body.
IMO best bang for the buck! sorry Jibby, I'm with taintedme, sorry I don't think so! besides I'll settle for a 2006 Weineck Cobra over a Z07 anyday.

THIS HAS NOTHING DO DO WITH THE THREAD.
Jibby, PLEASE do not start yet another war in someone else's thread.... I beg of you.
This thread goes on topic (topic = lexus SC) from this post and anyone that makes any reference to the above goes packing for 24 hours.
Please, and thanks
