2000 Lexux GS400 Mellenium Edition vs 96 Camaro RS
 

my friend drives this 2000 lexus, and i just got my camaro. his GS has 360 hp, and it's a v8. my camaro rs is a v6 and 200 hp, but i want to see how much faster his car is. so at 2am, me and him went on don mills around cummer, and we pushed on the gas. for the first 3 seconds we were head to head. after that i could just see his taillights disappearing ahead of me. at around 100kph his car just blazes pass me, i never knew a stock lexus can outperform a camaro, and i guess i was sooo wrong. but it was a fun experience, had a lot of fun racing him.

maybe if you had a Z28 you'd have a chance.. or a nice blower for that wimpy V6... my moms GTP would smoke you lol

ya but v8 isnt practical for day to day driving, especially when the gas price is 1.33 a litre, i cant afford 100 bucks a week on gas man lol.

Ok a V6 camaro is a crime...

Shoulda bought a grand prix.

lol v6 camaro is good enough for city driving, i didnt want to buy a drag car, just in chance that i saw a good deal on a camaro, so i bought it lol.

GS400 doesn't have 360hp, it has 300hp.

and my GS400 did 14.5@96mph, a stock v6 Camaro does like 15.8

his gs400 is mellenium edition, it has 380hp

I have platnium edition, it has 10000hp

Millenium edition is just some small stuff like different trims and such, it doesn't have 380hp, go on a dyno and if it pull more than 270whp I'll give you $200.

how the hell does his car go from 360hp to 380hp??
, someone with RMM supercharge kit only put down like 320whp, quit talking from your ass.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :appl: :thumbsup anywayz, wow, a gs400 runs 14.5, i thought it would be in the 15s cause of its weight. nice story anyhow

you'll be surprise how few mods it requires to hit 13s.

well on the inside of the door, it does say that it's mellenium edition, and in the manual it does say that it has either 360 or 380 hp, either one. not lying man. but ya anyway, it's a quite fast car for it's size, and consider that it's a family luxury sedan, 6 seconds is not bad from 0-100

what the hell you are smoking, the manual does not say anything about horsepower, and there's no Millennium model, there was only Platinum model in 2000, which you get HID, spoiler, and platinum American Express card, and in the US you also get NAV, we didn't get that here until 2001.

a GS400 DOES NOT have 360hp, nor its manual STATES that, or have Millennium edition.

go take scan the where it says 360hp, and post the carfax of such a thing as Millennium edition exists.

Thank you, come again. Sorry but you obviously know nothing about cars.

And buying a V6 camaro is definitely a crime...basically a poser car. No LS1 no care. They are weak in v6 format.

b4 i rolled my B16 EG i would SMOKE the V6's like they werent even moving lol.. and all i had was IHE , cams and a chip lol

Travis

true i hate seeing v6 camaros and firebirds such a dissapointment shouldnt have wasted your money on that and should have bought something else that would cost less on insurance and would still kick its ass

hey, at least it's a stock car and will smoke most suped up cars on the street, so stop ur kid dissing and get a life. and if u think there's no such thing as the mellenium edition, stop talking, go to lexus dealership and ask the superviser about that car, cz most of u civic ppl never even heard of such secret car. Peace Out!

lol secret car. was that a special edition for FBI or something.

360 hp...bs

b4 u say anything and make a fool out of urself, like i said, go to a lexus dealership, and ask them, if they say it doesnt exist, i give u a million bucks lol.

LOL its probably referring to the colour 2000 had a new colour which they called Millenium Silver Metallic

ЪЪЪЪЪЪЪЪЪЪ :smokin:

haaaaa, first of all, your POS shame on wheels, that you refer to as a camaro, is a very slow car that will lose to most modified cars (modified in terms of performance of course, i'm not talking about body kit and like that), and second, most of us civic ppl know waaaay more about cars than you do (since you apparantly think that a V8 GS has 380 hp). so plz stop embarrassing yourself.

oh, and if you wanna post a kill story plz get all your facts right.

haha talking with ppl who has ego bigger than their balls is a shame, so im not gonna talk until u give a visit to the lexus dealership dude, how about this, we'll meet up, i'll show u the car manual for the lexus, and if it says 380, u give me 100 bucks haha, if it doesnt say, i'll give u 100. deal? or u too scared?

or.... how about this, you scan the manual and post it. Anyway, there is still no way that your 16 second camaro beat an rx8.

lol... y? u too scared to bet ??? now that ur ego's are out ??? lol jokes.

I don't give a what that manual says, you wanna prove me wrong post the info. BTW from everything i read the only mention of millenium that lexus has is the millenium silver paint, no millenium editions (again you can post the manual to prove me wrong). I still say you don't know about cars. you're probably one of those people who think that they're camaro is quick because because the dealer said so. get a real car and then we'll talk.

V6 Camaros are BS.

LS1 power is the . Gettin a v6 fbod is like getting a 4 banger mustang back in 91
Still looks cool tho...

The lexus is BS :gives:

everything is bs to you....

i think you should save the $100 and try getting ur car down to the low 16's

everyone is entitled to their preference in car, but personally, if i didnt have the money for the insurance or gas on my z28, i wouldnt have bothered with a camaro. everyone knows that you buy a camaro for the V8. hehehe.

i like the look of a camaro, i think it looks better than civics, more aggresive styling, even with a v6. and in the summer when the gas price hits $1.5 again, i aint gonna be the one whining about not even driving my car, i'd still be cruising on the highway, cz a 3800 series motor is pretty much a very effecient engine compared to other v6's on the road back in 1996, im getting 22mpg, a 2002 v6 gets around 30 on the highway. and why u comparing modified imports with nothing done domestic? it's like literacy test for highschool giving to a kindergarden kid. i personally dont know exactly how much horses im getting, but im sure if i add a supercharger, which there are plenty of for the 3800 engine, a turbo, and some nice parts, it'll be at least or more powerful than most equally modified imports, however i dont have the expertise and knowledge or money some of u guys got when it comes to modifying cars, nor do i want to get the attention of a cop or even harrased by them about everything that's done to my car, maybe that's why i have never been harrased by a cop about my car not being street legal, and i drove 40k in the past 8 months, i dont know how much u guys drive, but i consider 40k a lot for 8 months. cant wait for the 2008 camaro, u can actually chose it to run of 4 or 8 cylinders, that'd be awesome!

super and turbo wont work well lol

u can do alot to that 3.8 but its still a god damn joke. is it even a 5spd?

if it's a joke then why did gm use it in a dozen cars? it's a proven quality engine with excellent fuel economy and built quality, for a decade. the point of putting a 3.8 in a camaro/firebird is because they want to sell it to a vast audience, not limiting its audiences, it's a very simple marketing strategy. and for your question, yes it is a 5 speed manual, but 4 speed automatic. and i dont know if a super or turbo will work well or not b/c i simply havnt tried it yet, but i heard there's a lot of engine components you can put along with a 3800.

Listen the 3.8 isn't the joke. The 3.8 is one of the greatest motors ever built, as far as im concerned. However a Camaro is all about the V8 RWD 6spd monster power, getting a Camaro with a v6 is a god damn waste either go v8 or go home. Why take a car with lower optioned motor if you're going for a sports car. The car still looks cool, but half the coolness and image is about the fact that hey that could be an LS1, ya know that low 13s factory car.

Z-2-8, that's it.

PS did you just say its a 5spd A4?
Turbo the 3.8 you can do monster things with that motor.

thnx for the link, however when i bought that car 2nd hand, it was automatic, i was thinking of swaping the transmission, but mechanics told me that it's gonna create trouble, so im just gonna stick with it, i hate automatics. my next car is gonna be the 2002 camaro z28 special edition, hopefully i'll get one with low mileage and manual transmission, it's unbelieveable how many camaros had automatic, that's totally stupid, a sports can should be ONLY manual!

The problem is ud need to swap ur motor to for a manual conversion, not worth it.

Yah go for it a Z is an amaizing vehicale, an SS is plain cool and a 35th Ani SS is even cooler.

thnx, i really want to swap the transmission, let's say the tranny break down, and i really want to keep the car, and i want to swap it to manual, is it possible? can i keep it under 1000 bucks to swap it ?

No, to swap in a Manual into your car you need to swap the engine with it. So New Tranny+New Motor+Labour=prbly like 3k easy.

You are better off buying a new car like I said.

V8 is fast even with auto. I heard it smoke evolution from 40 km/h

camaros rock
