*edit*
watch this video
Its the CL65 not sl65 but you get the idea
Some quotes from the video
Let me show you what happens when you try to get the car rolling (car is peeling out and not moving) eventually you do start to move, but only after your tires have been transferred from the wheels onto the road.
Of course you can stop that from happening by turning on the tracktion controll. Great but all this does is regn the engine in and slow it down. Then why have all the power in the first place???
if the top speed is governed by the gentelmens agreement?(at 155mph) and the acceleration from 0-60 whats the point of this car?
I love the end when they play tug of war. CL65 (700+ft lbs of torque vs 8 people. guess who wins?
you should definetly watch the vid. its definetly worth the time to downloadLast edited by Harut82; 11-28-2004, 03:12 AM.

Go the Japs. You can't beat quality when it comes to Lexus. European luxury cars are way too overpriced (in Australia anyway, I'm not sure about the U.S).
Personally I love Toyota's, say what you will, but here's a supercar they're still testing. Could cost in the $100,000 range, and has over 500bhp.
Toyota make the most reliable cars in the business.
And here's the article:
Toyota has been eyeing Nissan's success with the revived 350Z - and apparently, from spy pictures nabbed this week, it's been a little jealous of supercars like the Porsche Carrera GT, too. Toyota 's been caught testing what some insiders are calling the "TXS," a limited-production exotic that might be powered by a V-10 engine worth 500 hp.
Pictures show the TXS with enough cladding to disguise much of its shape, but clearly, this is no Celica or MR2-sized sportscar. Insiders suggest the car will tip in at less than 3000 pounds, giving its 500-hp powerplant (with 370 lb-ft of torque) a serious chance at catching the likes of the Porsche and Benz supercars. Top speed could reach 190 mph, the same league as the 550-hp Ford GT. Whether the drivetrain offers any version of Toyota 's hybrid technology is unknown.
Whether the final vehicle is sold as a Lexus or as a Toyota , it's likely that a limited production run of about 10,000 units is in order. Expect a debut at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show and an on-sale date soon after - with a price tag well over $100,000.

And look at your own numbers. The evo with its dinky 2.0L engine is competing with europeans cars like lambo, lotus, porsche, AND it did better than mercedes.

I just noticed that the cl65 is also on the list. It makes the same power as the sl65 and its still slower than than factory evo.
3 seconds is a big difference. The asutin martin vanquish was just a little over one sec faster than the 240hp s200.

I was confused becaue you said look at your own numbers when quoting nareks posts. (he didn't post any numbrs)
The times on the list. Those numbers. Look at the cars the little mitsubishi is going up against man. Those have sticker tags of 100 to 300k+. That's impressive for a japanese rally car.Last edited by Harut82; 11-28-2004, 02:46 PM.
