Probably just a typo but the ES350 is rated at 272hp on premium. Beginning with 2011 they rerated them at 268hp on regular.

sorry yes a typo. but remember this it's all weight to torque to to grip to areo to um...

anyway, you can get low sixes from a stock 350 if you try hard enough but the thing is is it worth it. the pleasure of the car is that if you are on the highway and you want to get past a punter in a vaxhaul you punch it and you from 60 to 90 in nothing. that;s what its there for.

raw speed get a G 37 but give up that cool smooth Lexuy feel, brother.
