Ok, but a Lightning is a performance truck from the factory. A RX300 is a around town luxury crossover Suv....nothing performance or off road at all about it besides that it has a little ground clearance stock...

My point is any vehicle can be modded for some fun and wanted to know if anyone had monkyed with these.. I could provide example after example but obviously the enthusiasm on this enthusiast website is a bit on the anemic side.

Would love to be able to say I was there for something like that but I wasnt born until 1973..lol

I've heard from a friend at work that use to go there in his younger years and it sounds like it was awesome....used to be actual roads when he would go.

You need to add more racing stickers to the RX.
More stickers = more RPM Everyone knows that!
