dam transmission needs to be closer ratio. This car would have a lot more potential if it was. They could learn a little from Mazda

Right, the suspense was killing me waiting for a shift on the transmission.

I'm pretty sure the airstrip was empty....
That's pretty good. Now throw in some headers, exhaust, lsd, intake, and watch it do it faster

That would be wonderful! What's weird is I prefer the LSD over anything else.

Nice video man. I've got only a 300 and took it up to 120 a couple times. No way as fast as this, that is when BOOST comes in

I took mine above 120 plenty of times, but the needle barely crawls up after 115

The stupid ECU won't open the throttle past 80%... I think lexus did this to create more of a performance gap between the 300 and 400... why else?

I had 2 hands on the wheel, just able to hang onto the phone with a couple of digits. I'll set my tripod up the next time.
