I should also mention that the piggy back not always work the same sometimes pulls harder than this i would say here its about 85% of the maximun acceleration when the piggyback its on point its a little faster than that

I really like the sound of your car! Is it a straight pipe cat back? I want to see you guys do a 0-60 while brake boost launching at 2k rpms. It allows the turbo to spool up but you might wanna let some air out of your tires, that way you wont just be spinning the whole time
Sounds good actually, remind me how to fully disable the traction?

I like it. I have the same setup except I'm using the burger intake. I was able to do 5.9 secs 0-60 when i recorded with my go pro a few months back in colder weather. The Vrtune really helps on the low end more so in 1st gear but i feel like power tappers off past 5.5k rpm so I try to shift just at 5.4k when going from 1st gear to 2nd. Ill see if i can find the video

i Recorded 5.8 in cold Miami weather (70 degrees lol) factory tires didnt had the full catback just a muffler delete and right now im running ****ty tires. Vr tuning box helps but you can feel the restriction in between 2-4k rpms. and today on my work felt even faster than yesterday but later on who knows. Thats the disadvantage still you can feel the difference over stock when it comes to torque. And on the dyno i did 230 whp and 270wtq.

Hi,
I don't know if there is a difference between the one sales to US and to Europa but when I take a look at your videos...
You are slower with IS200 T stage 1 or 2 plus exhaust than me with an RC 200T stock and heavier...
I do 0-100 km/h or 0 to 62 mph in 5.8 sec like BMW 430i similar engine but less weight

The point is all about driver capabilities. If I start like the car is programmed to do it, yes I need 7.0 sec
But if I start with all assistance deactivated, good shifting, brake pressure, this is the result. So, if I get stage 2 and exhaust, I expected to do it in 5.0 sec...
If I do the same, I need 4.5 on my Aristo V300...

I can confirm to you that is true. Most of the reviewer are also journalist not pilot... I did not look the US review but most of the time this the case in Europa. Also, Lexus isn't very popular in Europa. Mostly because of the engine size. Based on the Japanese and American market. I have had more than 25 cars. So, I learned that the constructor specs are **** most of the time for the Japanese one.

Speaking about the vacuum sensor, I had also to change it. It started to be defect just after the outside temperature was higher than 15 ° Celsius. They must release a new part, i'm not going to change it every 12 000 KM even it it's under warranty...
