Lexus says the '01 LS430 goes 0-60 in 6.2 seconds, and from the googling I did, the '90 300zx Nonturbo makes it to 60 in about 7 seconds. Your Lexus would win!

python Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 hp to weight ratio is what matters, i think the ls 430 would win myself, hes going to spend too much time shifting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IansLexus Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 hp to weight ratio is what matters, i think the ls 430 would win myself, hes going to spend too much time shifting I had a 300zx NA two years ago (too slow for a sports car, so I bought a 95TT).... the NA was honestly not a very fast car. The LS430 should win, it could be close, but the Lex should pull alittle harder. How good of a shifter the 300zxNA driver is could make all the difference though...

jcrome04 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 no way the stock 3.0L V6 would beat the 4.3L V8 5speed. The LS will shift faster, has more power, has more torque, more technology, better quality of everything. I'm guessing he's just some tuner who thinks he's fast cause it's a manual???

nc211 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I raced my 95LS against my buddies 87 or 88 Z turbo, and it was close actually, didn't win, but wasn't blown out either. I use to race him in my 01 Maxima, and we were tied neck n' neck. I would think your LS would take him easily. Just don't get directly behind him, cause he'll get you with the smoke screen coming out of his tail pipes when he goes over 4,800 rpm!

chilkoot Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 the 1st gen WOT button is a rubber circle about the circumference of a soda can, the tip of the pedal hits it when floored. it's a fun button. speaking of going fast, even with O/D off, trac off and ect set to pwr unless I give it more than half throttle I can't get my engine to go above 2.5k rpms on a brisk rolling pull, it shifts every time i break 2000 and I go from 5-40 with several shifts and no satisfying roar, albeit still rather quickly. Is this normal ls behavior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcrome04 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 make sure you know when your shift points are, ie: my 97 LS400 1st=~45mph 2nd=~83mph ... etc When I punch it from 30mph or 65-70mph the RPMs just fly up to the top and my car goes like a bat outta hell!
