Default Video of my LS400.....

Heyyyy,

Wow, its been a REALLY long time since I've posted here! Anywho, here is a little video I filmed about a month or two ago and forgot to post it on here. My car hasn't really changed since then, so that's what it looks like now.

Oh yah, almost forgot. Here's a video from back in March. I got a little antsy to film after I just got my car back from the motor swap so I did a little video.

Because I just posted 2 video and I don't have the fastest server in the world, the connection is probably going to be quite slow. Sorry about that!

Both of those videos are great. Thanks for sharing. The muffler part was too funny.

Its worth the wait. It took less than 20 minutes to download. The videos are short 1- 2 minutes but great to see a LS doing donughts and such. The enigine sound is really cool too.

HAHA Hell no! Some idiot ricers come up to me and rev it so I gotta show them off and rev it back. Besides, you get a WAY better launch if you Do the Brake Launch thing in Drive

Yeah I have A JDM Motor (runs A lot stronger than my U.S. spec one), Rod Millen Intake, A X-pipe in the place of the center resonator (which improved the exhaust note a lot), Lextreme's 2800 RPM Stall Speed Torque Converter (which makes all the difference in the world), and Vitek Spark Plug Wires. It actually is very faster than a stock LS400 thanks to the torque converter. I KILL S430s and match S500's off the line all the time.

are you saying your 0-60 time is around 6 seconds?

Yeah, its about 6.4-6.6 on a good launch I beleive. My Friends GS430 only modified with Intake beats me by a little less than 1 carlength by the time we are at 60, and those are supposively 5.8! Im also only about 2 carlengths behind my friends SRT-4 with Exhaust and Intake which is pretty impressive. I actually start gaining at around 90-100. Not too shabby.

I actually plan on selling this car somewhat soon though because I was given a C43 AMG with 39K miles on it for a graduation gift. That thing is really quick, especially on the freeway (just like the LS is VERY fast on the freeway as well).
