    Yesterday coming home from dinner with my wife I raced my cousin's Lexus IS F. Here is the play by play...First light head to head on green left him behind by about 15 car lengths.
    second light he paddle shifted I gave him 1 car length still smoked him by more than 15 car lengths. Keep in mind the Lexus has 415hp and weighs approx. 3800-4100lbs (im guessing).

    lexus has all their gearing high for great acceleration at high speeds. my old gs430 would accelerate from 80 to 120 in a blink. these cars can not in any way shape or form stand up to the brute srt8.

    Vortech is the shiznit! Good runs brudda! I thought the way they were claiming numbers to weight on those things they would be faster than that.
