Do you have any past race stories that you may want to share with us? Kills or loses...

For me I worked over a new M3 beemer, barely lost to a new Vette on the back end...Got housed by a CBR Honda motorcycle.. I was neck and neck with a Saleen...etc.. etc..

Umm are you making stuff up for ACleanSC to say or are those stories from you? If its yours, they are kinda hard to belive IMO. A new M3, come on, the E46 has 400whp, you have 310whp with NOS, doesn't add up to me anyway. If their ment for ACleanSC, sorry I said something.

Ok, I got worked by a stock Pinto, Geo Metro, and Dodge Neon....Does that sound better?


Just trying to find out if that SC4TT is faster then mine...Comparisons between Turbo and NOS...That is all...

Drifty -

An SC400 with a torque converter, and Nos that is producing 300whp, and a good traction setup will make an SC400 move 0-60mph as long as you get a timely shift between 2nd and 3rd gears....An SC4 setup like mine with reduced weight too is really different from a turbo'd sc300 with 300whp... Also remember there is no lag time and huge torque with nos and the V8 motors.....

My car let's off considerably after 70mph or so....but is hard to beat 0-70mph..M3 Beemer 0-60mph no problem....I've raced 2 newer M3 beemers from red lights and did not lose to either of them.....That is the honest truth...

I've beat the "naws" thing to death, so I'll start anew.


It's Bimmer, not "Beemer".

As told to me by older BMW owners/friends of mine: Bimmer is the automobile, Beemer is the motorcycle.

Makes more sense, although Im still 50/50 about the neon.

It was a 2J swapped turbo, why do you keep referring it as SC4TT?

So do you have a rebuilt transmission? Im sure if you had that much power you would be bouncing off the rev limiter over and over before shifting. Oh yeah do you have a dyno sheet as well? I want to see how your powerband looks like, i want to see that "huge torque" curve.

Do you also have any vids? timeslip photos? weightstation receipts for your "weight reduction"?

Please, I would like to know more of your race tuned 300rwhp v8 lexus vette m3 killing monster

So what kind of tires do you have, do you get significant traction? On drag radials? Did you race the M3 or did you race the driver in the M3. Oh btw, do you have any vids or photos of the race? Because I would love to see the great almightly SC400 beating a new M3.

Gotta love the skeptics...

Relax.....No need to get defensive.. You can use the search function to find all the answers to all your questions.

I really just wanted to hear more about the car on this thread as it looked sweet as it pulled away from the NSX...The thread is not labeled "Jibby's ride" It's labeled as "Who SC400TT is it?"...Right?

What's your car all about? You seem to be so eager to dog out my ride, what are you driving that is so special?....Let's here about your story or any story if you have one...Do you think you have a rock'n Lex? Bring it!!!!!

PS. Drifty - I responding to DriftNsc3 post comments...I typed out Drifty because it was easier to type then DriftNsc3.....Idrewfelix - The Geo metro, Dodge neon and Pinto was to your response.....

Yeah, I had my girl freind jump out of the car and run along side of the car while the races were under way...She's real fast.....I will post the video right away...Weigh station? Oh I almost forgot the weigh station in my back yard seems to be broken at the moment, I need to get that fixed right away and post...I will get working on both immediately just to satisfy you Cherplex....

Seriously, I dropped 250 pounds off of stock....
