TEAM LEXUS GS 400 Race Car for SALE!!!!!!!
As many of you know, Team Lexus began back in 1998 in the Motorola Cup. There we ran two GS 400s, and had many victories including the first win ever for Lexus. One of the two cars is being restored to the original race trim, and sent back to Lexus for their museum. The other car has now been made available to the public for purchase.

This car is in excellent shape for racing. It has already been stripped, and equipped with a custom rollcage. It has JRZ suspension, Borla exhaust, New BBS wheels, New Cooper Tires, New Stop Tech front brakes, Sparco harness, New transmission, and K&N intake. The motor and transmission are pretty much stock due to the series restrictions when we ran this car, so it is in good working order with no mechanical defects.

$12,500

Heh, looks like it's an automatic though... or am I missing something. Is that some kind of weird custom gearbox... it's got 1-5 on it.

- G.Irish - 01-25-2007

Its an automatic. Lexus didn't offer a manual for that car (I think they still don't). Kind of a cool car, especially for the price but I wouldn't buy an automatic track car, even at that price. Now if they put one of their old Grand Am Cup IS300's up for sale that could be cool. But then again I'd be hard pressed to find a good reason to spend money on a non streetable track car that didn't have many places to race.

Shit, I'd put a big ass turbo on it and make it a drag car haha. Build up the rear end and the trans a little, put on a high stall converter and a shot of nitrous and wheeeeeee
