Nope. Ive been in a friend's SC300 at 160mph. Could have kept going but ran out of road.


DryBlaze..time for a new drive belt tensioner. Looks like you are still running on the vintage ones with the plastic pulley. Not safe.

Incorrect. Not the SC300s. Recheck your sources.

Get the modernized version which comes with a more reliable metal pulley. Only at your local Lexus dealer.

dryblaze, my old SC is in chicago, go find it, lol. i hear its way slower than when i had it though. i believe the turbo seals are going bad, burning oil, so maybe the valve stem seals, and from a video i seen of it, the trans isn't retarding the timing anymore for some reason. has a new rear end in it though.

They closed down 4 corners, they hassle strats alot like they stay somewhat close to strats and pull people over and ****, streets closes around like ~12 or until someone does something stupid but at streets its mainly a car show kinda crap lol. I raced a guy in a mustang on the highway and I took him pretty bad and only at half throttle and he took an off ramp and didnt pay up.... Did you used to live in IL?
