A 1985 Maserati Biturbo had been sitting around rusting for 15 years, but now she’s got the lively, beating heart of a Lexus LS 400.

The gems in this LS 400 video are endless, and all the while, you feel like you should be sinking into a plush leather seat and focusing on the finer things in life.

How do you fit in at a Texas drag race event–one of the most American pastimes ever–with a Japanese car? You rip out the IS300’s engine and give it an American heart.

It doesn’t have a hand brake. It doesn’t have a tune. It’s just a home-garage-built TT Lexus that probably has no business drifting.
