ES 350's 0-60 times
I know the ES isn't a sports sedan nor a fast car by any means but its quite underrated imo.
Here's a short of my 2014 ES350 ULK pkg with 18's doing a quick 0-90. I time it around 5.50 secs (0-60 portion) using a stopwatch. Its funny too because a GS 350 F sport is rated around that time.

So with all that being said the ES moves itself quite well for a 3600+ lb sedan for only being rated at 268 hp out of the 2GRFE

You should probably check your stop watch. I timed it in the video and it was 11.43 seconds. And since the 0-60 time is about 5.9 for a 2013 and 5.8 for a 15' that would be about right.

Using a app on my phone I still get a average of 5.5ish seconds based on that video for the 0-60 portion. Which site did you get those 0-60 times off of?
Thanks,

The specs for the 2018 ES350 say the 0-60 time is 7.1 seconds.

Did it really drop that much from the 5.8 the 2015 was rated?

The Lexus official time was way too long of an estimate. Car and Driver got (with a '15, which was mechanically unchanged from the '14) 5.8 seconds. My ES350 is quicker than my Mercedes-Benz C300 4MATIC, which I know is between 6.1 seconds and 5.75 seconds (depending on the source — Mercedes-Benz official, C/D official, Alex on Autos, etc). The issue with my Lexus was that the stock Bridgestone tires were such garbage that I could never even have half-throttle acceleration — and could never, ever have more than 1/4 acceleration if I wasn't going perfectly straight (basically, I had to drive like an old man or the tires would just spin well into 2nd gear — very difficult when trying to accelerate quickly for normal driving purposes, including on to another road). I put Michelin CrossClimate+ tires on it, and it's so much better now. Performs and handles a lot better, dry and wet, cold and hot. And performs a lot better in the snow. Those tires are amazing. But that produced a noticeable difference in acceleration because I could actually apply the wheel torque to the ground and accelerate...
