Default Fastest Street Lexus

I hate to cross-post, but you guys just have to check out this blk on blk '97 SC300-T 6-spd BL71,
owned by none other than the infamous Sriyantha Weerasuria.
Q/m in 10.6 seconds @ 141 mph @ 29 psi no spray--and it isn't even at full potential yet!

The thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...hreadid=113229
The video: http://home.earthlink.net/~sc300tt3/SW-SC300T.wmv
The gallery: http://fototime.com/ftweb/bin/ft.dll...-897776C7B4B6}



Awesome!

Thumbs up

My ES250 could outrun it, but other than that I guess it's OK.



Whatever...That car is off the chain. I would die just to have that SC, but those other cars in the garage!?! Too much. I don't even know what I would do with myself if I had access to rides like that. Probably get into a lot of trouble.

Wow, maybe one day...Seeing all these awesome cars on CL definitely gives me an incentive to work hard.

Tires were drag radials (ie: BFG) wrapped on CCW rims, tranny was indeed a Getrag V160/161.

SW owns an exotic car dealership in TX. Don't we all wish we did....

BTW, I'm now hosting the high resolution (18.3 MB 640x480) version of the video on my server temporarily if you want to download it. When it's gone, it's gone: http://www.intellexual.net/movies/SW%20SC300T-dvd.mpg

SW clearly has great taste in cars.... I love everything he owns, especially his 70 - 73 Trans Am collection... one of my favorite cars (I had a 73 Formula Ram Air)

Nice garage!! Love the lift in there too...that is what my dream garage would be. 3 car garage with a lift and a nice compressor for the air tools.

So Texas is where the money is at?

It seems like every Texan that I come across with are ballers or were just at the right place at the right time...
