the SC300 has a large turbo.. lots of other mods to make that work reliably (owner did all the work himself, in his garage - and he drives that car daily) - no NAWS.

the E55 is stock.

The engine in this lexus is the Supra Turbo engine; the 2JZ-GTE. This has been known and proven to handle high hp!

that sc300 is on supraforums.com

he has a swapped 2JZ-GTE + getrag v160 transmissions (stock TT setup) + upgraded internals etc, built like a supra TT.

Very well done IMO.

There are two 'MKIV Supra engines' - one is N/A (2JZ-GE) and the other TT (2JZ-GTE). The Lexus does run the turbo motor, which can handle much higher power levels from an upgraded single turbo than the N/A version can... most of the IS300 guys slap a single turbo on the 2JZ-GE that comes in their cars and are able to get ~450-550rwhp pretty easily. I haven't read up on the IS's lately so I'm not sure what recent developments they got... didn't know they were into the 10's.. (link??) damn that is a fast 4-door.

Yea, I havent heard of the IS running 9-10 seconds either. 9 I just won't believe until I see a video. I assume it to be partly streeteable.

copied and pasted from another forum - these are the fastest IS300's as of July 2004 - looks like someone may be in the 10's by now.....

best IS300 times

srt stg 4 kit with getrag six speed, cams and a t76- 11.05 at 130 mph with a 1.6 60 ft
this was done at around 30psi
Car made over 760rwhp

pfs stg 3 auto with 264 cams built auto tranny(stock stall) and sp67 turbo- 11.0* at 130mph with a 1.8 60 ft this was done at 25psi
Car made 600rwhp

pfs stg 3 getrag six speed with cams and innovative gt66 b bearing turbo (teds car)- 11.1 at 128 mph with a 1.9 60 ft, run was done at 22psi , car made 660 rwhp at 30psi.

Two other pfs stg 2 autos ran 11.8 and 11.7 as well with 62-1 turbos.

35psi ran 12.0 at 128mph on street tires with race gas as well.
A guy on .net has claimed to run a 10.6 but posted no sheets or videos of the run when he posted about it, so who knows about 10's.
