As a bmw guy it is very satisfying to see a car that just cooperates. Life doesn’t have to be hard if you just buy a Japanese car 😂 I think these cars will be worth a ton of money in a few years
Enrique A Montero Absolutely, just the other day I was in my buddies 2019 Ford Ranger and all I could think was how cheap it felt. The doors where like tin cans, the armrest was already tearing, the engine was so rough at idle. Not knocking Ford, it’s just once you drive a well built Lexus, it ruins other cars for you.
I know. The build quality from the "Takumi" team has no comparison. When I was working on Toyota, I learned the 5 "S's". Now I try to apply them whenever I can. Even if it's not mechanically related.
Would love for you all to do a follow up video on the LS430. How’s the ownership experience been with some miles on it? How’s the supercharger? Do you hate the exhaust drone? MPG? Any other maintenance items you’ve addressed?

@@obungapyramid5525been in both. Lexus is definitely a lot sportier. Town car is the last great American sedan built imo. If I had to choose I’d pick the ls430 but those town cars are nice
This is so awesome I spent the longest looking for a good condition LS430 and never found one I liked. Eventually went with an LS460.. but still have a soft spot for the more boxier look. It's amazing !
Probably the best LS Lexus made.. Had 2 430s over the years and ive still got my 08 460 9 years of ownership.. i put the 430 slightly ahead of my 460.. in my opinion.. Fabulous cars and well worth all that effort you put into making your 430 the beast it is.. belisima
The music added the perfect touch of excitement and satisfaction to this video! Can probably drive this car another decade and not worry about any major maintenance!
I have installed a rear pumpkin from a gs300 which has stock lsd & 392 gears into my 02 ls430. Different beast!!!! They should have came factory like that in my opinion.
I have a 04 LS430 with 180,000 miles. It is mechanically in excellent condition, and I have done all of the regular services. Recently replaced the water pump, timing belt, etc. How much do you charge to add a super-charger?
Sad times, got rid of one of the safest most reliable cars ever designed. I don't see a reason for racing suspension or a SC. 6.6s 0-60 stock. I've hit 125 and still had more throttle to give and only 3.2K RPM. I bought a Tacoma TRD and still daily the LS430
This is awsome. Great Job guys. I have a 2000 Lexus GS400 with a Rod Millen Supercharger sitting in my garage since 2003. I live in Mexico and hopping one day i can pick it up and drive it again. I will need alot of help to tune it up and bring it back to life. Love these cars.
If your here for the daily driver this power is fun and well enough to send you to work and home and any other place. Racing also has so much potential in this car by upgrading and pushing it hard and losing a bit of weight too
Speed Academy , I am a avid watcher of you videos. I am a fellow gearhead, and always up to learning something new. I am not one to read all of the comments. But I would like some possible feed back from other subscribers of yours. I myself would much rather hear you guys talking about what is going on in your video, the louder music is in the background or forefront is more of a distraction . I am wondering if i am the only one on here that feels that way. Like I said before, I am always up to learn something new. So to a degree, subscribers opinions do matter. Hope I didn't come across to strong, just asking a honest question . Thanks for you great content. Keep up the good work.

Cleanest build in all of RUclips. Plain and simple ❤️

Very impressive. That is one built Lexus. Love how SVT was able to be fit in. Great job fellas
