Replying to: commofficer (May 01, 2005 3:41 pm) Expect really low gas mileage (10-12 mpg)... and expensive prices for parts.. fairly maintenance intensive, as well... Great cars to drive, though... and I think they are great looking.. regards, kyfdx

Thanks for all the input. My wife says my car needs to be replaced and I thought this would be the perfect "classic" LPS. I didn't know that the mileage was that bad though.  I will stay clear of the V8, thanks. I like the old straight 6. It seems like a relatively simple engine. Capt. Phil |

"Which is faster..has more power..my friend and i are arguing about this. I have a Lexus LS400 and he has a Buick Regal with a supercharger. I think his has more power at first, then mine will pull away. We can't really race them though, we live in the city. I thought i would ask people who probably know what they're talking about, because we don't." I was curious about this, so I did the research. As pearl said the Buick will win, at least in a 0-60 test, but not by all that much. You have the advantage in engine power, 290 hp  6000 rpm and 300 ft-lbs 4000 rpm, vs. 240 hp 5200 rpm and 280 ft-lbs 3600 rpm for the Buick. Unfortunately, that difference is offset by 328lbs. of weight in the Lexus. He'll get to 60 about a half tick before you will (6.6 vs. 7.1). On the other hand, he drives a Buick regal thats currently worth about pocket change, and you drive an LS400, so I'd feel pretty good about that  If you're that concerned about beating him, trade for a GS400, and you will.

Replying to: lexusguy (May 02, 2005 10:24 am) How do you know which LS400 he has??? He could have a 1990-1994 or a 1995 to 1997 model. In which case the Regal supercharged would dust it in every which way possible. |

| True, I did assume it was a '98+. Could you help us with this question lpc05? What year is your LS? | |

Curious to see how the Luxury Sports Sedans did last month. Thank you
