Are you talking about a Lexus or a Buick?
If you're talking about a buick than here you go:
'65-66 GS 400 (401 nail head powered) = low-mid 15 1/4 mile times.
'67-69 GS 400 = mid-high 14's.
Give any of thease cars real tires and you can shave a 1/2 sec. off with a good driver.

If its the Lexus GS400, its powered by the 1uz-fe engine. Quad overhead cam 4.0ltr v8 with VVT-i. The 1uz-fe is a great engine, it comes from the factory with foarged internals (including the bottom end). The power numbers changed by year but not by much. It should be around 300hp and 320 torque. 6250 redline. The downside of the GS400 is the weight. They weigh about 3700 pounds. So the car runs mid to low 14's despite having such a good powerplant. This engine was also in the Lexus LS400 and the SC400.

GS 400

My fellow co-worker has a GS-400 with the 300 horse powerplant. Very nice ride to say the least. We lined-up one night after work and it was a very close race. My ride is a 92'z28, L98, Borla, chip, etc, etc. I had about a fender on him..it was very close. Happy holidays.
