The salt causes 15-20% tire spin. 140 on the salt is comparable to around 160-170 on asphalt.

its a top speed run not a test of acceleration

dambass!!!!! its fucking salt flats dumb shit...they go for top speed not 0-60 time...dont you fucking know anything about the salt flats or you some fucking poser buying a lexus thinking you're hot shit...let your balls drop

[Teztost3rpwn]

People don't understand, the IS300 may not be the quickest 0-60, but that 2jz keeps on fucking going and going.. i got mine up to 145 on a stretch of highway in west virginia at about 2 am. it would have done 160-165 but i ran out of straights

Y'all check out my video. All stock 2004 Lexus is300. I went for quickest time not speed let out of it at 140 was passing and meeting cars so thought id slow down lol.

@boohaahaa Wheelspin would cause the speedometer to read higher that the speed of the vehicle. If the speedometer is reading 140mph and 20% of that is wasted, it would be ~112mph on a surface without wheelspin.

@whathefmate Oh my, you told him didn't you?

@TheTwinturbo300zx LOL

[ANGELSRAGE77]

It's amazing the percentage of illiteracy that's out there. Great run, taking everything into consideration. Did you have the traction control on and was it equipped with the optional LSD?

[freedomsoldier187]

I think I can I think I can

[TheTwinturbo300zx]

@boohaahaa No, its not 160-170. The top speed on the IS is 140, its gear limited. I have done it on asphalt so it cant go faster then that.

[ebradahusla]

@boohaahaa But 140 on this speedo is the same on salt flats as it is on asphalt. 140mph on a gps speedometer on salt flats would be what it comparable to 160-170 on asphalt.

@ARFNSX fuck bro this is sik I just picked up one thats 5speed but past 100 theres wind noise from a crack or something in my door and it just doesnt hold its own. I had a 05 Mazda3 before this and it handled better at top speed then my lex. Any suggestions. I already had it looked at by a mechanic
