got smoked!!
I went to the midnight races on Saturday and I ended up racing an old SC400. Damn...I got smoked by 1 car length. It took me a while to get traction. Does anyone know how many horses the SC has and what does it do in a 1/4 mile? Maybe I would've done better if I didn't have 3 other girls in the car 
... or maybe my rims are too heavy...

my mom has a 94 and i think it has like 225-260 hp or something. I've completely forgot but i know it's a v8. 3 other girls in your car could be a culprit every 100 lbs equals .1 of a second

my mom and bestfriend have told me to tell you guys to stop telling me to spend my money; they are tired of my automobiles getting pampered and them getting whats left over which usually consists of change I find in my car by doing things you guys encourage

There is no reason you should have been beaten by this car. My mother owns one and I have driven it on a regular basis. The lexus sc400 has a 4.0-liter DOHC 32-valve V-8, 250 hp. But, here are the times for this car. Magazine review - The car can fly to 100km/h (62.5mph) from a standstill in the low-7 second bracket and can whisk down the quarter mile in 15.2 seconds.

Well...considering it was my first time racing the CL, I had 3 other people in my car, 19s, and a full system, that should be a good enough reason why I lost. Like I said, I couldn't get traction, and the SC being a rear-wheel drive he took me off the line.

The new lexus sc400 has:
Engine: VVTi* DOHC 4-valve 4.0 Liter V8
Horsepower: 290 @ 6000 RPM
Torque: 300 @ 4000 RPM
0-60: 6.5 seconds
1/4: 14.7 seconds @ 93 mph
Top speed: 149 mph
But of course the 4 girl factor does play a role But the race with one person in each car would still be close even against the new sc400.

Speaking of the lexus SC400, I was under the impression that they stopped making them a few years back, but my friend disagreed and told me they were being made until replaced by the current 2002 sc430. Any feedback on this?

I saw one pretty Asian girl in a black CL-S last week. She paid me no mind in my little Green 4-door GrandAm GT though.
Now that I have my CL-S, I'll probably never see her again.

I raced with an older Sc400 on freeway recently & I was able to beat him after third gear (100+mph).The 1st & 2nd he's about half a car lenght ahead of me.
After 125+mph I lost him completely.
Older Sc400= 250 HP
