anyone know why 95 are faster than pre 95? sc400
the sc400's particularly.
1992 SC300 4-speed auto 7.2 sec 15.8 sec at 89 mph
1992 SC300 5-speed manual 6.8 sec 15.4 sec at 90 mph
1993 SC400 4-speed auto 6.9 sec 15.3 sec
1995 SC400 4-speed auto 6.7 sec 15.2 sec at 93 mph
1998 SC400 5-speed auto 6.3 sec 14.7 sec at 97 mph
and if i'm correct this is WITHOUT brake-torque launch?
(this was taken from intellexual net)
1995 sc400 has the same engine as pre 95's.
Can anyone explain? The HP and torque is the same i'm so confused

I was under the impression the 95's got the HP bump, was it the 96? Now this is confusing ME.
I thought I remembered it being:
-92,93,94 = 240hp
-95,96,97 = 260hp
- 98,99,00 = 290hp

1995 Lexus SC 300/400: Grilles, taillamps, and alloy wheels are new. The SC 300 adopted 16-inch tires, matching the SC 400. Both models got structural refinements to meet the stricter 1997 federal side-impact standards.
1996 Lexus SC 300/400: A new V8 engine went into the SC 400, borrowed from the latest LS 400 sedan. It produced 10 more horsepower (now 260) and 10 extra pound-feet of torque.
1997 Lexus SC 300/400: More aggressive-looking exterior trim and softer seats marked the '97 coupes. The passenger airbag moved to the top of the dashboard, and a trip computer was added.
That's from http://auto.consumerguide.com/auto/u...x.cfm/id/2272/
That's why i'm wondering why the 1995 is a little bit quicker than pre 95's

I tried to post the pic from the gallery but it wouldn't load, so here's the link, you can see for yourself, right there in black and white, 250 HP.
