some nice pics -- hey emerald, I didn't know your car ran 11s!

 

I would believe it if I could see some pics under the hood. According to the description, the car has no forced induction (blower or turbo). With at least 200 pounds of A/V equipment sucking power away from the wheels, I find it hard to believe that even a 150-shot fogger NOS would do that job. With NOS and an intake, an SC400 would probably run 13s (being that Emerald's SC has an upgraded 1997+ bumper, I assume it's an older SC).

 

~ According to the description it doesnt say ANY track times for my car nor are there any posted anyplace on my website or any other website....did'nt notice that?


SupraCoup3 : I get Email from people asking "how tall are you?!?!" because of one of those pictures. I was standing 'on' the car so it made me look like a giant LOL!!
Well, I have gave serious thought about TT'ing the car(I would'nt care for the hood lump from a supercharger).
I've seen the Mechtech car, Yes they did a wonderful job on that 400,BUT I know that we can get 'much better' numbers than that.
I've started on a few new projects so the SC has been sitting idle for while
i'll free up some time this summer to get the Lexus in shape and decide on the TT.I may even tune and track it just to see what she does

Hey, Emerald. I've been looking into the possibilities for forced induction for our cars for awhile, i'll let you and Marcus know if I make any breakthroughs, but i've been kinda waiting to see how Todd Matsubura's project is going, he's doing a TT 1UZ unibody car right now. Keep me posted if you take this to the next level.

I was kind of wondering where SupraCoupe saw those figures. 11 is ambitious on ANY car, let alone the SC400 which is by no means a race car. Dont get me wrong Emerald, I still admire you car for it's style and uniqueness. I especially dig that paint job.

..."a full interior automatic transmission lexus SC400 running an 11 flat before being slowed down due to a lack of safety equipment"

this is the page that brought me to your SC400. But whatever... maybe a hit a flukie link.

 

Oh, SupraCoupe, now I see where you read it, but if I remember right, that article is referring to Ethan's car, I think he ran at that event.

 

~SupraCoup3: I wish
~lex400sc: Thank you
~Lex Luthor: Marcus had mentioned the TT that was being worked by that guy. I will wait to see before going full steam into a TT myself. I wont wait long though
There are a few options that I am looking over but will not have the time until this Summer or Fall
I will try to drop in a bit more than I do now
