Can a Lexus GS beat an M5?
If you had asked me that question a few weeks ago, I would have said "GO AWAY I don't have time for this *****"!
But little did I know that leaving my car with some dear friends who promised to make it just as fast, if not faster.. would materialize into anything worth while.
So, upon my return from a trip, I was given my car back, with custom designed long tube headers installed, Tom's Euro ECU installed, tweaked for optimum fuel octane of 98RON, and a reprogrammed transmission module. Oh sorry, I almost forgot... a pretty cute looking supercharger as well!
I have not been given a dyno sheet although one has apparently been carried out, but these guys believe I don't need one if I race a much faster car... like for example... an E39 M5!
Yeah right, I owned an E39 M5 and an E60 as well, I know what kind of power those machines make, so I know when I'm being made a fool of or not!
Until this happened...

I'm not permitted to give any info out at this moment in time, so please accept my apology guys.. all in good time hopefully.
We are just testing the setup and making sure all runs well in our climate.
We think we can squeeze more out of this car so our next target will be an E60 M5.
