I have seen some of these photos before and it definitely fits the thread, I think. Which Lexus drivetrain is it?

Why not? Let's think of "muscle car" in a little broadly!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
