AngelsAmongUs Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I have been looking for my car to come along for six months now. I must have looked at 50 cars (all SC400). This morning as usual I did my local search and hit a wholesaler with one about fifty miles away. I bought her on the spot!!! Minor interior issues are all I have to worry about - Automatic shift button is cracked, parking brake cover worn, normal driver seat wear though not bad, stitching loose on passenger seat and rearview mirrors are sun damaged (first year spent in TX according to Carfax. I am going to enjoy fixing her up this summer. The only problem I forsee is keeping the speed down. My other car is an Integra that is nice but has no top end. Struggles at 70/cries at 80. Driving my new car back I was doing 100 with knowing it. What is the top end of these cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermancam Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I went 150 miles an hour in Arizona, very early in the morning with no traffic in sight. Car was smooth but there was some wind sounds from the sunroof. It was the fastest I have ever been in a car in my life. Not bad for a 92 SC400.

jzz30 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 top speed is drag limited to 150 or 149 to be exact but if your on a down hill or in a vacum for that matter it will go faster haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn these are fast. I can't wait to start playing. PS. Not that it is the reason for my getting her but... The females really seem to go for this car! :whistles: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Got mine recently too. Never been over 85 in it, but it drives very smoothly at those speeds. Mines a 96 with 205500 miles on it and it still looks and drives like a car with 50000 miles other than a slight engine shudder which I recently found was just a motor mount. Love this car! I'm going to have mine repainted in a couple of months b/c it has a rather large dent on the rear and some dents on bottom behind the wheel wells (should be able to cover up with some ground effects which will also fix the rear bumper at the same time). Can't wait til its finished!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait til its finished!! I left my Acura at the lot to take the SC4 to my insurance today. My girlfriend drove down 95 with me to drive the Lex back with me in the Acura. I still love my Integra (very reliable) but she was left in the dust. I thought I was being slick asking her and not one of my buds, but I was wrong. Said opening her up and feeling the power she stated it was better than s*x. Anybody need a slightly used girlfriend??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed the sudden surge in Lex SCs around the DC area. When I bought mine three to four years ago there were barely any but lately I've come across several.
