And that 2JZ Supra was just ridiculous @ 150mph trap. No way was that close with the M3 despite crossing the "finish line" in close proximity. The Supra flew past the M3 like it was standing still. We used to do 1/3 mile rolls here and the Supra would have put bus lengths on the M3 but prob had a hard time slowing for the 90 degree Turn 1.

The numbers that they got for the lexus are actually pretty similar to what multiple other publications and reviewers have gotten at various locations, off by like 0.0-0.2 secs and with similar traps. That engine is just slow. I drove the lc500 while I still had the m850 and the difference was insane imo. I would compare the lexus v8 to the version of mercedes' NA 6.2 V8 in c63 from 2010 only not as fun or quite as fast.
