Anyone raced a '03 Lexus SC430??
I have been seeing more and more of these around. Today I saw one with dealer plates that thought he was hot sh*t I tried to catch up to him but there was too much traffic. Someone told me that the numbers for 0-60 and 1/4 mile were the same as the auto Type-S's. Has anyone hear ever raced one?? How would we fair??

Here is the original thread
http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...ight=%2A430%2A
here is a clip from it...
The video is in! Enjoy.
Here is the link to the video. If it doesn't work, try the 2nd one.
This was the 2nd of 2 races. The 1st was a lot closer and I won that one by .0952 sec, or about 1/2 to 3/4 of a car length.
While the race looks close at the end, remember the old angles playing tricks on you. The advantage was close to 3 cars lengths.
Also, here's the tail of the tape so you can see where we stood at the various timed points.
Spec.......SC430................TLS...........Adva ntage
R/T..........0.703................0.236............. 0.467
60'..........2.401................2.214........... ..0.187
330'........6.464................6.226............ .0.238
1/8.........9.771.................9.483............. 0.288
MPH.......74.35.................75.21
1000'.....12.614...............12.313...........0. 301
1/4.........14.988...............14.704...........0. 284
MPH........95.35.................93.60

It looks like you redlighted... and it looks like the Lexus is actually faster than you... it traps faster anyways. So if he got a better launch, he should beat you? <shrug>
