Racing question
Ok so lets say i'm racing my GS300 from a stop light. Which is better to do... put it in 1st gear and then shift on up thru the gears as I take off from the light? Or leave it in DRIVE and push the POWER button and the VSC OFF button? Or a combination of these options? Which will produce a quicker response?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Less prep work when racing in a V8 GS400/430. Just hit the gas and you'll beat most things on the road or a respectable loss.

Can one really get the wheel(s) spinning with 300 just hitting the gas pedal to the floor?
In some circumstances it's hard to get the 430 to spin the wheel(s) so I'd think it's even harder with 300.
I'm talking about stock 300 on dry and flat tarmac with VSC off (and possibly but not necessarily the power mode on).

I can spin the tires pretty easy in my 300 with the VSC off, dry blacktop. Then again, Im on stock tires
As for revving higher, I dont buy that. Even with the power button off, I can nearly bounce off the rev limiter when letting it shift on its own with the pedal to the floor. I dont do this often though....267k miles...Im sure the inserts could use some refreshing...js.
