i personally dont think this thread will have any replies purely because people are afraid they might get flamed.

:shutit:

[Bison]

All they have to say is that the speed was done on a Track day, Who could proove they are lying??

[Scorpion]

LS drivers dont drive fast.........do they?

I thought they were the refined type.

[maneesh]

Most folks don't expect LS drivers to drive hard, but if you know your own car's limits, and push the car harder than usual, then it can be quite a surprise for all the hot hatches that seem to rule most traffic lights.

Opened mine up the other day. Put some Iron Maiden on (loud) and, well

shall we say doubled the national speed limit.

OOOPS!!!

[Monster-Mat]

[Chris.S]

no its not, its the impact

The faster you go the bigger the impact

[phunt]

It's not how fast you drive........It's how you drive fast B)

[randyreindeer]

I was always under the impression that it wasn't speed that kills. It was the sudden stop at the end of the speed. :P

Steve.

[Brettster]

I've had at least 400 MPH out of my little IS200. It was scary I tell thee.

1/10 scale speed tee hee

Hello fellows,

Why is it that you all are acting mysteriously about testing the car's speed? Or is it just the modesty of Lexus-drivers ;) ?

I will tell you how fast mine goes; I tested in on the German highway on a piece where there is no speed limitation. Conditions were good; almost no traffic and good dry weather, good view. This regarding the mentioned dangers op speed; fast driving is not dnagerous if conditions (and driver) are good and responsable; for instance you shouldnt drive 250 km/h when there is a lot of traffic I think, although Germans have an other opinion ahum...)

I was driving with my brother and he asked me how fast the LS400 would go. I told him I didnt have the faintest idea ( I hadnt driven faster than 235 km/h with her) so we decided to test it. I told him to tell me if he got scared.

In no time the needle pointed out 250 km/h. I accelerated till 265 km/h and then I myself got scared haha. not my brother, he was just sitting next to me smiling from ear to ear. The car didnt have much power left so I guess my car (not modded, standard '95 LS400, 264 hp) would go as far as between 265 and 270. Which is really fast enough...

By the way; at that speed she still drove like an angel. No motorsounds, no stange road-behavior, stuck to the road and steering was fine too....felt more or less the same as when driving 160 km/h, only more wind (an more adrenaline haha).

Greets,

[Bison]

whats that in mph??? did it float about?

bison

[SpeedyJ]

That is about 177 MPH.

Greets Speedy J

PS What do you mean with float? If I was flying? Almost.....hehehe

[Bison]

Is yours standard??

There is no way it would do that speed!!! NO WAY!!
