PETRONAS TOM'S SC430
There are 6 Lexus SC430 in 2011 series of Super GT. Each of them has technical support from Lexus (=Toyota), but this Petronas Tom's SC430 is the only car that has full support, both technically and financially.
It is the flagship car among all 6 race car SC430, positioned to develop and test new parts for them. If the newly developed parts show good effect, other SC430 will have them on their car soon as well, or at least by the next race. The role and responsibility lies heavily on the team and drivers of this car, but this is the best team Lexus has got. On 2009 series, this car won the championship.
To write about other car manufacturers, #23 Motul Autech GT-R is the flagship car of Nissan, and #18 Weider HSV-010 for Honda. The best drivers/teams are assigned for these cars.

This is the exact same car and model year that appears in GT5!
Kazuki Nakajima, a former Williams F1 driver, and currently a driver of 2011 Petronas Tom's SC430, showed what this car sound like, and what it can do! It was twice louder when I heard this car in person.

Lexus LFA Nur Race Car
Photos: http://www.facebook.com/JDM.clips
The LED "Blue Flash" on top left corner of the front window is not for decoration. Those are equipped on the fastest 36 cars among hundreds of other race cars, and are used to tell other slower cars that a fast car is coming right behind. It works especially well during the night race. To have this equipment is a true honor for any racing teams in 24h Nurburgring race. It took Lexus 5 years to acquire the Blue Flash, and they regard this as one of their milestone.

2008 Lexus IS-F Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour
Well ever since I did the video on the 2011 IS-F I have been on a search for the famous ultrasonic blue mica that had been featured in all the original press releases for the IS-F upon it's release. Plus I wanted a more smooth orchestrated video that taught viewers a little more about the history behind the car, my search is over and I hope everyone enjoys! In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2008 Lexus IS-F. This car is also part of the vast hendrick performance collection. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
Thanks a lot to Hendrick BMW of Charlotte, NC for allowing me to film this video! For more info on this vehicle as well as others visit www.hendrickbmw.com

2011 Lexus ISF 6 Piston Brakes Painted F Blue, Custom Logo - Plus bonus Smoke!
in anticipation of my new wheels that are being custom made for this car, i wanted to change the color of the brake calipers. I love the color and I figured since they didnt have a blue ISF on the lot when i got this one, that this would fill the "void" just fine for me :D The new wheels, as stated in the video will be 20" Black on black 3 piece wheels with an offset. They should be ready next week.
In the meantime, while i wait for my wheels to be finished, i called up Roy Devore, the man responsible for painting my Tahoe and Chickens Hoopty Caddy (search candy blue Escalade in my vids). He didnt even hesitate and came right over. After looking at them closely, it was determined that we could paint them completely without taking them off. I honestly didnt want to mess with pulling them off the car anyway since it would be a pain in the ass. As you can see, it turned out great! Having my own lift really helped and Roy was able to hit the brakes inside and out with no problem. We had some custom logo's made for them and they turned out perfect.
Special thanks to Roy for doing a spectacular job, as usual!
