What does a Lexus need 4 exhaust tips for? They look odd
I was curious enough to look it up.. it's got 4 exhaust tips so people won't feel foolish for paying 62 thousand dollars for a 4 door Toyota instead of a Corvette.
5 liters, 11.8 to 1 compression is going to require the highest octane you can buy, no skimping with 89 or 87.
Top speed 170mph, 8 speed paddle shifted transmission, 3700 pouinds, and 416hp, 371 torque ft pounds.
It's got 2wice as many gears in the trans, goes twice as fast, has twice ans many exhaust tips, but has the same power and torque as my 1969 R/T. It costs about the same, but my R/T isn't depreciating. And the exhaust looks weird.

374,000 mile Toyota, original owner, and it has not been rebuilt (except replaced timing chain) even has the original alternator still working as planned
One new starter, one new timing chain because of the plastic guides that got brittle and broke (stupid idea that a lot of companies have used... morons. No plastic in the engine! Heat kills it!) one change of the spark plugs at 250,000... and that is about it. Remarkable.
I remember posting a true story about some woman who kept a car for decades, and kept track of all the replaced parts, number of batteries, number of mufflers, etc etc.. but this Toyota hasn't needed that long list of replacements.
