Anyone run into this guy?

I was driving along 183S near the Arboretum on my way to run an errand at lunch today. I was on the phone at the time. Out of nowhere a light blue SC 400 got right up on my ass. Mid-30s driver w/ "I'm too sexy" white sunglasses. After about 5 seconds, he pulled next to me, rev'd his engine a few times, and kept looking over hoping I would ackowledge him. Perhaps I would've at another time but I was preoccupied. Anyway, he finally gave up on me and floored it. Turns out his car was turbo'd (I heard the BOV) w/ a custom exhaust. I LOL'd. Who turbos a 15 year old Lexus?!

Not yet, but i'll keep an eye out for him though! Guess he didn't want a car payment

You sure it wasn't a SC300. That 6 cyl engine is the same base engine used in the last gen Supra, and same engine that was in the older IS300. Plenty of people with IS300 and SC300 have full turbo setups pushing anywhere from 350rwhp to 1000rwhp. No Joke.

I'm pretty sure it was badged 400. Don't recall to be honest. I googled turbo 400s and they also appear to be popular. Until that day, I'd never seen one. /shrug

Turboed SC's are not at all uncommon. There is one in Orlando called "sleeper" pushing 866rwhp, looks COMPLETELY stock.

Its just a re-badged supra
