Having an automatic trans was the difference . If he put a test pipe and exhaust on that thing pretty sure I'll get walked easily .

Great run considering you had a passenger too. Didn't expect the win!

Thanks man! On the 1st run after the 3rd honk he seemed to have been hesitant at first, so I didn't take of initially. I asked em why I didn't hear em take off at first . He told me it takes the automatic a second to take off. So the 2nd race after the 3rd beep I didn't wait this time. Made a big difference in the outcome

That Lexus weighs almost 4,000lbs; it's going to need more than 303 to be fast. Even the lightest model weighs 3,800lbs.

Not denying the Weight.The weight and the trans are what gave me a fighting chance. But it still makes more power and a hell of alot more tq (274) than my little 4 banger . I only dynod at 201 whp. The only other video I saw of a gs350 taking on a s2k. The s2k got walked bad

Exactly... That's why it makes this run impressive!
