Not looking for racing videos. Against the law and unsafe. Just normal idle and drive by. I don't think we heard a sound clip of the GS with it tuned... I could be wrong... Not many SC GS's...

Cool, that I can do. I will try and have them up within the next few days. idle, drive by, and I'll try and add a few more 0-60 runs. maybe even to 100 if it's safe enough to do.

6 new videos as requested.
0-60 with trac control on. (i forgot to turn it of) = mid 4 sec 0-60
0-60 with trac control off (lots of wheel spin again and letting off gas again) = high 4 sec 0-60

I really need some practice launching car (and better wider tires) I'm sure I can do a very low 4 sec 0-60 time with a proper launch.

A few other videos including cold start, normal operating temp start, idle, and normal driving

ENJOY!!!!!

that is just mean... i love it!!! i am really going to consider this when u put it up for sale... what kind of exhaust are you running? i think i hear more exhaust noise than the SC whine itself? i wonder if it could be done with a quiet sounding exhaust or oem exhaust setup with maybe some e-cutouts?

do you not have any wideband/boost gauges inside the cabin?

You will love it. It turns it into a different car. I'm actually running ppe headers- 2 high flow ca legal cats (deleted 3rd cat)-2.5" piping all the way from headers to tanabe medallion touring exhaust. Actually the exhaust is not as loud as it seems in the video. The supercharger whine was never noticeably loud, the loudest part even though its hard to tell from the videos, is the blow of valve. It can scare people if you go wot and release right away lol. But it sounds awesome. But as long as you're not flooring it constantly (which is hard to do ) then the exhaust is not loud at all.
From what I heard the gs400 has pretty good high flow cats (2 of them) but the gs430's have more restrictive cats(3 of them) and headers, so going aftermarket was a good choice.

Possibly we'll see. I am having soo much fun with the car now and just in case anyone was wondering, I got 14.5 mpg on my last fill up and thats with flooring it constantly and 100% city driving. So mileage is good. I'm sure mileage would be great if I stopped flooring it soo much, but it's just too difficult to do that at the moment.

I could not drive my car without excercising EVERY opportunity to jump on the throttle. More fun than anyone should have out of a big 4 door luxury car.

The one time I drove to LA I managed to take it easy for a couple of hours and was able to get 21 MPG with A/C on the whole time. My GS400 has full 2.5 inch piping, x pipe and stock cats with PPE headers and my car runs TOTALLY clean on the smog check. I just need a smog station that will overlook the visual inspection.
