Nice find! "Used Lexus" has become my default answer when someone is looking for a big, reliable used car.

I don't think it's faster than my sports car though...

0-60 in 6.2 or so seconds is fast for a car this size.

1/4 mile in the low 14s is quite fast for a car this size.

These things are big and not billed as performance cars. So for them to out-run quite a lot of cars that are billed as such makes them fast - for what they are.

Oh, it sure as hell isn't slow. I just got the impression from the thread that they were fast-fast, not V6 Camry fast.

Either way, I like it.

Nice buy. I love the 1uzfe it's a very refined and smooth v8. I have that motor in a Chrysler Conquest with a 6sp manual. It's a bit under powered by todays standard but still quick and uber comfy. I do have a supercharger bracket for it if you want to feel a little boosty but I dont think those rods in the vvti will like it very much.

It'll go from monster truck to laying frame stock everything but the controller. Also that isn't bad money for that body style, they hold resale much better than the first gen ones.
