what mods does he have? In 98 the SC400 those years came with the updated 4.0 V8Version with 290HP and 300TQ with a 5spd AUTO. It will be a good drivers race stock for stock but since he is modded he might have the edge. The older SC400's with the 4AT and less HP were hitting mid 15's. The 5AT versions will hit high 14's stock about the same as a 04 TL 5AT. Good luck and keep us posted!

If both were stock I'd put money on you, but as noted by SatinSilver it would depend on the mods so let us know.

TL-S? Or TL-P?

I think you'll take him, it's mostly a drivers race like most have said.

well then if he has drag radials then from a dig.

my buddy had a Sc300 with the 2jz - n/a Supra Motor.

Those things were keeping up with my TL... but now with the sti i straight dummied on him. It was a multiple truck length show.

My advice... do it from a 40 roll if your going to do it off a track.....

from a dig.. you FINISHED though.
