He bought a LS400, I just found out. It has close to 900k miles on the original engine

Not a surprising buy, saying as it's one of the greatest cars of all time.

When it gets to 960,ooo miles, it will have just gotten back from the moon for the second time.

This is true. My Dad bought a '91 used a few years after it was made. He drove it forever. He got in a bad wreck in it where the car should have been totaled but the insurance company decided to have it fixed. He kept driving it and then later gave to my Mom. She drove it forever then sold it to my buddy. He drove it forever and finally sold it around 2009. I don't know how many miles it had on it at that point, but it was probably at least 300K. Those cars are so damn solid.

Toyota used to make such awesome cars 20-25 years ago!

And look how GOOD it looks, it looks like a brand new car.

Of course, the best part? GOLD BADGES!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks amazing, not dated at all

Also....

Gold badges=Awesome

It's crossed my mind before. With a skidplate and some gravels, you'd have yourself a very reliable rallycross car.

It's really the best 4 door car in the history of mankind

The 2003 Lexus ES300 has been waiting...

The last good looking Lexus was the LS430. Everything else looks stupid.

haha

Sadly, LS400s in good nick tend to fall in the hands of those wrap gangster wannabes who would repeatedly donk the daylights out of the poor thing.

I agree with this.

This is my ideal interior

Kinja'd!!!

all cars should be this

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
12/18/2014 at 20:43

I can get behind this

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
12/18/2014 at 20:44

because fuck sound deadening/any sort of comfort/rationality

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
12/18/2014 at 20:46

I just read that the new M3/M4 have even MOAR sound deadening than my car :( :( :(

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
12/18/2014 at 20:48

:( it's offical, I like the E9X much more. I was really hoping to like the F80 M3 (I really hate most of the M4 already) but alas, it's just too muted.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
12/18/2014 at 20:58

i dunno if what i read was true. but it might be

question: would it really be THAT expensive to change how much sound insulation is used on the M cars vs the regular cars? couldn't they just lay down thinner sound deadening material?

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
12/18/2014 at 21:02

I really want to know what a stripped out F80 M3 race car would sound like.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
12/18/2014 at 21:13

especially with the cats removed and the engine tuned for power over efficiency

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
12/18/2014 at 21:15

Yeah, that would be pretty badass. A proper straight six race car. hmmmm

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
12/18/2014 at 21:17

You could probably get it to 1500 HP if you threw out all fucks given to efficiency and emissions

I mean the tiny 1.5L turbo I4 BMW F1 engine made over 1000 HP for qualifying laps

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
12/18/2014 at 21:19

Yeah and GT-R engines make like 2000 hp with zero fucks given too.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
12/18/2014 at 21:25

Ahh Yiiiiiis

If this is possible with GTR then surely M4 can produce a lot more when zero to one half of one fuck is given

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
12/18/2014 at 21:27

I want to see a YOLO M4 as soon as possible.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
12/18/2014 at 21:34

LOL

you know what would be even better?

a YOLO twin turbo E9X race car

because TT 4L V8 will produce WAY moar power

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
12/18/2014 at 21:34

LOL race engine that's been TT'd. Insanity.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
12/18/2014 at 21:35

it would have 5693 HP

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
12/18/2014 at 21:38

murder machine confirmed

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro
12/18/2014 at 23:47

I just checked. Apparently the S65 V8 isn't very turbo friendly. It does love to yield 700HP though with a supercharger.

I guess the Gallardo V10 is still king for twin turbo insanity.

A.K.A. Black people .

Kinja'd!!!

I've never heard of anyone donking a Lexus. Donks are typically large American cars. But thanks, dork.

I've seen a few in Tacoma, unfortunately. I needed a bit of bleach to burn it out of my memories.

Brian Silvestro > Manuél Ferrari
12/19/2014 at 09:54

Yeah that V10 loves getting turbo'd. The noise it makes is crazy.

Manuél Ferrari > Brian Silvestro

Gallardo and GTR are the most tunable cars of the last 20 years. They are kings of speed
