Rcts Is300 Tt

[Altezza]

I got the following from Reg @ RCTS on the weekend. All I have to say is, "I want one too." Good luck to Reg and the guys at RCTS!!!


Hello Guys. This is my One Lap update for you. We are looking quite good for the 2003 One Lap of America Race start line at Watkins Glen Raceway, NY on May 3. Our Twin Turbo 2003 Lexus IS300 light weight with 2JZ-GTE VVTi from a 1999 Toyota Aristo is making fantastic power.

At 11 psi boost, with upgrades of RCTS tuned HKS F-con V-pro, custom RCTS Intake, front mount intercooler and 3.5” exhaust, the engine yielded;

352.80 HP Rear Wheel
355 Ft/lbs/Tq at 4000 RPM at the rear wheels.

300 Ftlbs Torque @ 2600 RPM,
240 Ftlbs Torque @ 2000 RPM.
160 Ftlbs Torque @ 1500 RPM
Top Speed 157 mph @ 6800 RPM in 5th Gear.

My old friend Mark love and I will be driving the car in this years race. This will be the sixth One Lap of America we will have run together. Four times in the RCTS/Sonic 1994 Supra TT, once in a 2000 BMW Supercharged M Roadster, and now again in the RCTS Canada Engineered and Built Lexus IS300TT. We hope to finish the grueling event without any mechanical problems as we have done in the past six races we have run together.

Once again consistency and reliability is our prime focus, and early analyses of the RCTS Canada IS300TT looks great but I keep reminding myself that this car is fresh out of our shop and was designed on paper, just as the IS430 I was involved with at TTE Germany, it’s the first IS300 like this anywhere in the world. To add to the excitement, we will only have one day to test it on our local Calgary, Alberta, Race City Motorsports Road Race track. Then we will be driving it across the country for the start of the event on May 3 at Corning, New York's fantastic Watkins Glen Raceway. The One Lap of America is a grueling seven day event.

Very Nice i wish i had one!

[ninspeed]

hmmm, what day do you think they will be testing at race city??? that would be a fun day

I think I might go down to take a look today...

*edit* I just got back. It looks amazing. The IS300TT from the car show is there as well, I guess it is in for some tuning.
Reg is currently taking orders the the Aristo engine IS's It costs $22,000 plus the price of the IS 300. Not to bad for 350hp to the wheels.
You can also get the turbo put on the Stock IS300 motor for $20,000. I guess it takes a ton fo labour. It comes out with more HP then the Aristo engine, but less torque, so the Aristo eninge is better suited for the IS. In case you are wondering about the price, that includes the transmission upgrade, and everythying shown above in the pic. Typically the engines brought over are from cars off the street, not the junkyards as well.

He said they will be testing on a private track day, so unless you are a member of the Calgary Exotic Car Club, so can't go. With that said, my Dads a member, so I think I might just stop in....

That's cool and all...but how do they plan on keeping up with the supercars?

[Altezza]

They are running in the 4-door sedan class with the IS300 and not against the Supras, Vipers, etc..
