the 430sc is stock from the factory no mod 5.8 we are talking about stock no mod. if you did mods it should be lower. he asked about a stock time and its 5.8 stock is stock no other answer.
lex install torque converter this would lower his times. intake dose nothing fact, tires nothing any thing that get more HP & TORQUE will be faster.

I'm just stating that there are more variables at play (track condition, wind direction, tire condition, driver experience, amount of gas (ie. additional weight of vehicle), ETC on, VSC off, etc). I doubt anyone can take a stock SC430 and reproduce the exact 5.8 sec 0-60; or any car on the market for that fact and reproduce the exact reported 0-60. It's a sales gimmick in my eyes and probably an average of multiple runs, used as a generalization for bragging rights. So if someone can verify a time of 5.8 sec on a stock SC430, I will kindly eat my words, but so far there's no confirmation. I'm sure if you had a 20 mile an hour wind at your back, you could get closer to that 5.8 benchmark.
Ps. From my understanding most intake kits cause an increase in horse power (as bacardi rationalized), therefore faster and subsequently a decreased 0-60 time. Also condition of the tires would result in either an improved or a diminished launch and therefore also change the 0-60 times. If you have no tread and spin out rather than grip and launch, you're not going to make a 0-60 in 5.8. Just saying.

the question what is your 0-60 time? a stock 430sc will do it at 5.8. I run a D mod. vett. in Englishtown n.j. they all new my car. 12 year ago before I had my stroke i'm 70. I had 94 vett it ran 10.03 at 128 1/4 we are not talking about wind, tires ect,ect. i'm quite aware of what your talking about, the car runs 5.8 stock......

Bacardi, If you or anyone else can provide proof (like a Dyno or other printout), that would be great. Here are some trusted websites with varying numbers for stock SC430s.... for the sake of comparison. I love my car but in no way do I think it has a 0-60 at 5.8 seconds. Real, physical, owner submitted proof would be clear cut evidence to settle this question in my mind. No offense.

go to lexus 430 0-60 it dose it in 5.8 in 14.2 slvbullet greg just went to the track in Va run 14.6 stock first time I would love to see you run a 14.6 first time. these are track times. so when you act like car can't do it you are so wrong. did you ever go to a track before I don't think so, so why talk about what you don't know about. not being smart but true.

The hard thing about reporting your 0-60 time is you have to have installed a data logger that reads your actual real-time rpm and mph speed. The drag track data systems can report the times you pass their sensors placed at certains points ... ie. distances. The track however cannot read any data from you car so there is no idea what your car is doing. You know the time it took you to hit 1/8 and 1/4 mile mark and what the speed was at that point, but you can't know your time to a given speed. I don't bother with an app because they are not connected to your car's ecu and of course ... Don't text when driving ... (Or mess with your phone)
I have a formal time sheet for my runs at the 1/4 drag strip. I have no documentation or proof of what the 0-60 time might be. I might rent or buy a logging system someday because I don't get any data on the performance at the road track other than my max speed on their about 1/2 mile straightaway but I have more performance mods to do before trying to track my driving. I do want to see how my times can improve but I don't really care what the factory quoted. I use dyno readings and track times to have real data.
You can see my first dyno in my CL garage. I'll do another one when I get my Dr. Gas exhaust system installed next week.
Note my 14.6 s 1/4 mile time was with a full gas tank ... I learned after to not fill the tank for the drag strip ... Next time I won't unless I want to compare times with the 14.6.

I have a g-tech pro and have managed 5.8 without power braking *provided* I disable the traction control. The TC is so aggressive and limits acceleration, *without* the light going, so much that with it enabled, I can't do better than 6.5.
Also, before I bought my 2007 last year, I test drove dozens of SC430s with both 5-speed and 6-speed trannies. The 6-speed trannies were always way faster desprite 20 hp less which was probably the biggest deciding factor in me buying a 2006+ model.
So if you're having trouble getting below 6.0 with a normal start, disable the TC. It's not necessary to totally disable the ESC.

Sorka, the 2006 model engine does not have 20 hp less, the rating method changed that lowered the actual reading. The engines are the same.

like you said you will eat your words.
sorka just posted that his 0-60 in 5.8 with a g-tech well is he wrong to. tried to tell you what the car will do 5.8 nothing about tires, wind ect ect. I was not trying to lie about it to you just the fact.
again sorka thank you
