Default first 1000 mile trip in gs400...

From St.louis to south bend and back today, Just bought the car, WHAT A GREAT RIDE!!! I had no issues and still got 23mpg with 3:91 rear gears!!(running 3200rpm at 80mph). found out that my gps system cant keep up with the speed of the car on a short run to 110mph, other than that i am honestly impressed with this car on trips! Oh....to the idiot with the charger hemi, sorry friend. Next time bring a couple more ponies when going from 10 to 90, didnt mean to embarrass you that much in front of your girl.. (get an srt fool!!)

funny things when I picked up my 430 from Chicago 3yrs back, driving to NYC, one of those things tried to play around, I was able to muscle one around as well

when i took my GS3 on its first road trip (1700 miles roundtrip) it was smooth as silk. don't know what it's like to have a V8 in the GS but i can vouch for the comfort during a long ride

couple years ago I did seattle to san diego to san jose and back to seattle alone in 5 days, 26XX miles. What an awesome trip in the V8, on Work wheels nonetheless

Enjoy your GS, I still love mine 4 years later
