Stock G1 vs. Lexus SC300

I almost forgot to mention this cus it was so much a waste of gas. He farted me, repeatedly, complete with shaved head yo-boy sunglasses on at night and DC tags on Rt 50 on Marylands Eastern Shore (chickenstinkin).

I pretended like I wasn't interested as he kept edging forward until by the time the opposite side went yellow he was sitting a full car length up on me. When the opposite yellow dropped, so did I. As I passed him, he completely blew a shift (sounded like about 25k on the RPM band) and I never saw him again.

=============================================

I'm still pissed that there isn't a Lightning in GT3...

=============================================

AND! This afternoon I found myself in a leftlane freeway duel with a 2000 Chebbie C-15 and a 2002 Chebbie Avalanche...What the (you pick the expletive) is that monstrosity!?! The Avalanche looks like a Pontiac Safari (isn't that the name of the wierd looking SUV thing from P-tiac?) on steriods with a midget truck bed. Handling and rapid acceleration from 70mph to 95+mph more than made the difference in age and the Crimson Bitch walked away with authority.

Yeah the sc300 are pieces of crap. Now my girl has a 92 sc400 with 4.0 four cam v8 and that thing flies. Ive had it at 142 at 5 thousand rpm and they redline at 7200 and the governer kicked in. Now Im working on how to bypass it. I would like to see how much faster it would go. And it registers 160 on the speedo.

Couldn't be further from the truth. I've seen this guy at the loca cruise spot a couple of times. He has an SC300 with a SINGLE turbo kit. He runs mid 12s. He's in the middle of getting a built tranny right now. Bad-ass car.

Single Turbo system are much more efficient on those engines.
 
RT4U2NV????? What couldnt be further from the truth?? It is mechanically a Camry.. there is nothing under the hood or suspension/drivetrain that is unique to that Lexus... It is a 3.0 4cam v-6.. All Toyota and all of it is under the hood of the Camry too... Just different bodies.. The 400 is all Lexus and very unique...

12's from a single turbo??? And if single turbo's are the shit, then why is everything twin turbo lately?? Supra,RX-7,911,3000GT VR-4..... It might work better on that Camry/SC300 because it is alot harder to get twins on it and much more expensive.

WAKE UP MAN! Twin Turbos are for economical purposes. Do you research and you'll see that the fastest imports are running SINGLE turbos. A single turbo supra is faster than the twin turbo, this goes for them all. Don't argue with me unless you know what you're talking about. Single turbos work better on nearly ALL imports. From Civics to Supras. One Civic in specific comes to mind that runs 9s.
 
There's an incredible twinturbo sc300 here. It has a supra motor in it. The guy is pushing 750+ hp, and I have seen it beat up on a viper venom 550.

The car is currently down for a rebuild, and the owner is shooting for 10's.

It's definitely not the best chassis to use for drag racing, but then again neither is a fullsize truck

It's definitely the only lexus i've ever seen and felt jealous of.

What's up Condor. That wouldn't happen to have been a blue Lex was it?? I had the same experience on 695 east, near White Marsh with one of them a couple of weeks ago.

I'm having a real hard time believing a SC300 with a turbo is in the 12's unless he's running an insane amount of boost, I mean 'engine exploding' insane. Maybe he is and maybe his tranny is toast because of it? If so, I'm not impressed.
I also am doing my best to swallow the concept the 'one turbo is better than 2' theory, I was always under the assumption that they used two turbos for less lag time (2 small spool faster than 1 big). BTW - I owned a modded 1990 300ZX TT, they must of just threw an extra turbo on it to make it a turd.

One last thing since your bringing up 9 second civic's, the pro class is getting it's ass kicked by a 7.847 second Ford focus.

No,No,No, DJ... they do it for economical reasons... you know,, twin turbo's get better gas mileage and are safer than single turbo's.....

RT4U2NV is just plain full of shit.. ok did I say that loud enough?? FULL OF SHIT!!!!!!.... and you are wearing out your welcome boy!!!!!!!

You doubt every f-ing thing and you post ridiculous times and cars and kills and anything that comes into your mind.. but you never post videos nor can you prove what you say.... let me put it like this.................

I thought the SC300 was a bloated Supra and had the Supra's I6 in it rather than the Camry V6. I know the chassis is the same as the Supra, and thus I'd expect anything that can be done to the Supra to be able to be done to the SC300.

And it doesn't take much to make a turbo Supra run in the 12s.

BTW, guys, duals are done to reduce turbo lag and still keep the high end punch. The smaller turbo comes online first and then big brother crashes the party when the demand for airflow outpaces what the little one can provide. Or, even if they're indentical turbos, they're sized SMALLER than a single would be so that they'll spool up quicker.

Sounds like JJ is at it again! Twin turbos for economy??? FMOS has it right, two small turbos spool up quicker while still creating max boost. The CBX motorcycle I own had two turbo kits available for it. One was a single turbo, the other a twin. The twin kicked a-- all over the single, everytime. The twin turbo CBX was one SCARY ride! The single was just a handfull. LATER,

You guys can believe what you will. When you get to understanding imports you will know that a single turbo mod will produce better gains than twin turbo. You guys keep saying that a lot of quick cars come from the factory twin turbo. OH NO! NOT FROM THE FACTORY! Think about it. Next time I see him I'll take pictures. He has a single turbo and runs mid to high 12s. Do your research and see what the quickest imports have: one or two turbos.

Is he the one starring in the "Lexus Catchup" video? I love that video. It's a SC300 TT going after an RX-7 and a Viper.

Jeff:

Once again you are right. A ES300 is the Camry clone and has a 3.0 24v DOHC V-6 in it. This engine produces 190-200 horsepower and will run a low 16 1/4 mile. A GS300/SC300 (the only difference between a GS and a SC is one is a four door and one is a coupe) use a I-6 formation and produce 15 or 20 more horsepower than than their V-6 cousins. Condor's claim of beating one is almost a definite certainty (as much as it pains me to agree with Condor HA HA). I guarantee you, that a stock G1 doesn't want to mess with the 300 horse 4.0 V-8's however. They will run high 13's - low 14's. As for JJ dogging on the Toyota engines; they build some of the most precise and dependable motors ever built.
