This topic is all over this forum, just type in the search field.

These numbers appear in this forum on another thread:
SEE: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ht=6.8+seconds
Performance:
SC300- 0-60 Auto 7.4 seconds 1/4 mile 15.8 seconds
SC300- 0-60 5sp. 6.8 seconds 1/4 mile 15.4 seconds
SC400 0-60 -98 6.7 seconds 1/4 mile 14.9 seconds
SC400 0-60 98+ 6.1 seconds 1/4 mile 14.5 seconds


Again in Car & Driver May of 1992, same numbers 0-60 in 6.8 seconds.

Two years later, Stock Specifications sourced from Car and Driver December 1994 issue testing a 5-speed:

C/D test results:
0-30 2.4
0-60 6.8
0-100 18.4
0-130 42.8
1/4 mile 15.4 @ 92
street start 5-60 7.2
top gear 30-50 9.1
top gear 50-70 9.6
top speed 138


I'll never stop saying that the manual was the way to go for an enthusiast when buying an SC300.

6.8 seconds for a stick sc300 seems too fast. Boy I hope 6.8 seconds is true because I can't feel exactly how fast the acceleration is, so I just want to know.

6.8 0-60 and 15.2-15.4 1/4 mile seem accurate to me for stock 92 5spd.

yup

read the thread about getting your stock car running stock again... lots of little things need to be replaced sometimes... spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, etc
