Default Lexus SC430


You would think you can't hardly go wrong with a V8 RWD roadster, but the Lexus SC430 seems to be a bit under powered at 300hp/325 lb.ft, considering the power other V8's pump out. I haven't seen much talk of these on here, maybe for that very reason. But I was curious about those with experience in the SC430 and if they have done any power modifications.

Thoughts?

Sc430 are luxury cruisers. There are only few that are fixed up.

terrible back seat! It's so small that I mistook the car for being a roadster. Heck, just remove those rear "seats" and is now a roadster!

At least they gave good marks for the engine. Still seems underpowered to me though...

I'm pretty sure I remember a review by some legit mag that called it the worst test drive they'd ever done. Boring on top of boring.

You can only drive those if you have a vagina.
