Transcript

If you're willing to sacrifice a little reliability, this build totals around $18, and it will destroy Hellcats all day. The foundation is a Lexus yes c 400, a naturally aspirated luxury coupe that most people overlook. You can snag a clean one for around $7,000, and it's the perfect sleeper platform. Sleek, understated, and ready to hide serious horsepower under the hood. First, get a supercharger kit that will shove massive amounts of air into the v eight. Upgrade the fuel system with a high flow pump and injectors to mash. Throw in long tube headers to free up exhaust flow and top it all off with a proper tune to pull it all together. This simple setup pushes the stock 260 horsepower yes c 400 to a staggering 500 horsepower. That's the most you'll be able to make on stock internals. That's Hellcat level performance in a car that looks completely harmless, and it's rear wheel drive, lightweight, and a total sleeper. This build will tear up the streets and embarrass anything stock on the strip. So tell me, would you build this beast? I dive way deeper into builds on YouTube, so go subscribe if you want the full breakdown. Rank in the bio.
