Hey guys atlanta here...my ride is a 92 z..l98..not many mods..borla..hypertech...royal purple oil..thats about it..well i have a friend at work that loves to talk smack about my camaro..well he drives a gs 400...300 horse i believe...well i lowered the boom on his *** the other night..lol...we went from a 30 mph roll and had at it. it was close i will give him that..but the ole camaro pulled about a car length on him and that was about it..still won thou...lol..good race...the ole ticker was pumpin overtime..later guys.

 

Thats pretty good cause some of those lexus's are pretty dang quick. I believe the GS is the 8 cylinder version. Anyways man nice kill..

 

Yeah a freind of mine has about a '96 GS 400 V8, Its not to bad,I haven't raced him yet maybe someday.

 

Good run!! The 8cyl in that lexus is the 1zfe 4.0ltr quad cam with vvti = 300 hp, 320 ft/lbs I believe. Very nice engine but in a 3700 pound car only runs high 14's. In Japan, the GS series is refered to as the Artisto and the 6cyl turbo is the powerhouse. They come stock with the Supra engine (2jz-gte) and a twin turbo setup. You guys know what people can do with Supra engines so you can only imagine how fast they are. Luckily over here in the US the GS series cars with the 6cyl's only get the 2jz-ge witch is the N/A supra motor. They do build turbo kits but the power stops somewhere around 350 hp (not worth it!!). So the 8cyl is the powerhouse over here in the US and you smoked him. Good job!!

 

Good job I love it when people take people down who think they have the fastest thing around.

 

Me thinks that 300 HP might be a little overrated or very peaky.

 

The GS400 cars run 14.4 or so, the new GS430 cars run 14.2, not bad for a 4 door, but they push $50k plus. Too bad the new Acura TL-S runs 14.7s and costs only $31k (I have one) and is made here in the US, kinda makes the GS look like an overpriced Euro sled.

Anyway, they are pretty quick and decently comfortable for driving. All the ones around here either are ghetto or have an italian sticker on the rear bumper, so we can all guess what market is being targeted by Lexus.
