Question

One thing that I have found strange since taking delivery of my GS400 is how little pressure is needed to keep the car at significant highway speeds.

It seems as if I'm barely touching the pedal and the car is maintaining 80 mph on level ground. At 65 it feels like I'm just a bit more than resting my foot on the gas pedal. Sometimes I find I have to work at holding my foot off of the pedal because if I just relax it I'll be doing 90+.

Is this unique to my GS or is this something you've experienced with yours?

i noticed that also when i was driving justin's gs4. it takes very little foot pressure to keep the car goin @ its speed. im used to driving my gs3 so when i was on the freeway, i maintained the same amount of foot pressure and then i realized i was accelerating past 100.

i also noticed that takes very little to shoot the car forward from standstill. gotta love that silky-smooth engine and tranny.
