I just got a 93 Q45 yesterday and i totally love the car, such luxury and handling! But just out of curiousity what do these cars typically put down on a dyno? I've read about the 278hp japanese rating but its really higher thing, and i know my Q45 pulls really nicely. I searched a bit and could only find 1/4 mile stuff, 15s, 14s runs. Pretty good if you ask me. I dont drive my Q like that, drag racing a Q45 is like playing football in a tuxedo to me. I'l give it the occasional full throttle romp but i usually drive it very smooth. Done over 200 miles in it already its so nice.
In case anyone is curious, its emerald green with 120k miles and exceptional condition inside and out. The guy gave it to me for 4600 bucks. Its so much fun to just drive, i dont have to race or corner hard its just fun.
