Here's the lex build if anybody is interested.... just need to put the cage in and buy real tires and brake pads....

I'd say you won't need ghettochargers.....that Lexus V8 has power as is...especially in a lighter car....you can probably get near 1000lbs out of it....make it around 3200lbs and its 260hp? engine is plenty...
Nah, not for the power, for the redneck/ghetto engineering aspect! Actually, we had at least a numerical shot at a win at nelsons until a couple of last minute penalties followed by by the diff grenading from getting rear ended hard (twice).. That with all of 100hp.....
I was hoping to get the lex down to 3000 or so... Need to get it on the scales to see how close I am... On my real race car, I guessed within 5lb, so I hope I can do the same with this one!
"Don't mess with Lexas!" LS400. We survived another one! See website link for build details.
