Correction...More HP, 2 more cylinders, and 2 more gears.

Designo - the only thing I am worried about is your 460 is detuned to a tune of 20HP. Is the 350 detuned as well?

^ nop the 350s arent detuned. Even though our 460s are detuned.. I see that they perform very well.. maybe coz of the exhaust system.

Whatever you do, be careful! I think the 460 would take this one.

V8 against a V6... hmm (having driven a 460 not to long ago and a F-Sport), will be close to 60mph, after that bye bye GS350..

I use to have '08 G35S Sedan, though I know its really quick but i dunno about that GS460 driver, are you sure its a 460, looks like a Gs350 to me which won't have jack on the G35 Sedan. If it is a GS460, that driver doesn't know how to Launch.. I need proof its a GS460 in the video because a GS460 shouldn't lose to G35, maybe equal to it or a really close race but shouldn't lose nor win against a G35. but for OP question (GS460 against a new GS350 F-sport) will be close in the low end and GS460 will take the F-Sport over 80 mph.

It's the OP's own 460, but like i said in an earlier post his car has been detuned (according to him) so im not surprised that he lost. You are right, the G35 have no chance in the states. My bro has a 2 dr G35S manual though and that should be a driver's race.

That's my GS460 when I first got it, It had less than 1k on the clock! And yes, that was my first ever Lexus, and till today I have no *****in clue how to drive one. It's an auto so I just floor it!

My GS460 has 322hp as opposed to the Rest of the World.

If my car beats the 4GS 350F, then that's some serious bad ***** for the 4GS in these neck of the woods! Don't you think?

Here is a simple procedure you should follow before you start racing, Turn off traction completely, Make sure no AC or heat is on, Sport mode, Gas it and hold the brake at around 2 rpm then floor it once the third signal honks ( Well you need traction, Thats why the AWD has no problem with it). I also noticed you are slightly peeling out, well you might want to consider better tires for that GS460.

Detuned or not, the 460s are quick and I doubt ANY 350 can hit 13s.. let alone mid 13s
