My goal is to smoke the competition....Get a little damn respect on the streets with my modified SC400..Lastly to beat out an AMG E55, and a stock new Vette 0-80MPH.....Getting very close to my goals infact I may be able to run with the E55 now wiith the S&S Headers recently installed..........

I have to have both.
I have kept a basically stock appearance, with lighter colors, and resist the urge to black everything out.
I've tuned the car painstakingly to a point where I'm pretty happy with the performance, but without any driveabilty issues at all..

Class.. with some power. if I wanted purely fast I'd buy a different car.Likewise if I wanted purely class. Why is this not obvious?

I love my Lexus the way it is!! It's def. a car with class, but there's nothin wrong with adding a little sass; as long as it doesn't overwhelm the other! My objective; stock bodied with suttlties, but with a little speed to match it!

check sig for my motto when it comes to modifying my SC.

I say class all the way. As for "power" I don't need much and boost is not in my plans. I do plan to make the engine and drivetrain as efficient as possible.

that was sarcastic...lol.

seriously, a little boost inspired power on tap (just in case) and clean upgrades...but mostly, it's all about the drop.

I'm going for class on mine and restoring it to it's intended glory, but later on I'd like to add some sass so that I can get some of these stupid a$$ drivers off my tail...alot of these SoCal drivers are crazy/have ego problems !...Just because I'm in a hurry and I pass them up they think it's a race! or if I wanna cruise there's some stupid guy with no patience that tries to blow out your eardrums with his horn . LOL

Luxury and class...Big deep dish rims, and a beautiful paint job. Although, having the MKIV TT BBK conversion and sways...just lil extras for fun. Ultimately the car will be a daily, I have a Starion if I wanted some boost!

NA 2J everyday, and a Starion to play...

The past 4 years have been a rollercoaster for my car. I got hit and run and a couple other things. But finally am working on it. Origin kit sits in my room waiting to get put on. Among other things. I don't want to say speed is the goal although after the kit rims and suspension are put on, my gte sitting in my garage is next to go into the car. So i guess i'd go with speed only because the origin kit isn't really gonna give it a luxury appearance but an aggressive one.

My Motto i got this from drew

Heart of a supra style of a lexus

$3000 on tv's

400 hp turbo motor

$200 dollars on tires

the look on a ferrari drivers face when he cant figure out what manufacturer makes a soarer

First step: 1JZ, coilovers, sways, second step: ridge widebody and 19x11 Work VS-XX, third step: RX330 steering wheel conversion, S2000 buckets re-upholstered to match tan leather interior and mod an LCD touchscreen sytem into the center console so it looks like it came from the factory. (none of these are done, so no pics :P)
I guess that falls under speed and power, with a healthy touch of baller-status

I vote for classy beauty like Lexus intended . My car is a 93 and it has some wear and tear. My goal is to revitalize the overall look and feeling of the car. Only mods I would probably do is very mild suspension and wheels.
