Lightbulb Jesus Sent me a message.

I had for sale signs in the windows for 3 days, I was going to go domestic and buy a camaro. The third day a toyota camary smashed into the side of an 3rd generation camaro at about 35mph right in front of my eyes. Nobody got severly hurt, both people got out but that camaro was definatly dead. The toyota (cheap lexus) had some bumper damage but was drivable. now one would think that this would hut the camary more due to a front impact but i guess not. I took this as a message and have decided to hang on to my lexus sc400 a while. Domestics are for rednecks anyways right?

ANYWAYS: What can be done about my mere horsepower ratings (besides getting an sc 300)? Who produces a supercharger or turbo kit for the sc400 and what is the approximate cost of this? In addition has anyone heard of a 5.0 stoker kit for a sc400, I have heard rumors of this. Please help me out

Forced induction isn't your only speed option. You can bore and stroke the motor, port and polish the heads, larger or modified cams, nitrous oxide, ram-air intake, fuel management, performance exhaust, headers, torque convertor, shift kit, swap differential gears, air locker, and of course lighter load: carbon fiber hood, doors, driveshaft, trunk, racing shells, sport rims, etc. You can actually build a VERY fast car without any mention of turbochargers or superchargers.

GT3 is awesome!

by the way, the SC430 is going to be in the next gran turismo.

too bad the sc400 is only in the old GT2, its fun to supe the sc400 in GT2 up, i got mine (in the video game) up to around 450hp naturally aspirated.
