Default Which car is faster?

I drove my friend M37 Msport pack and I aslo test drove the GS 350 luxury pack got it on Sport plus. I felt the M37 is quicker on the acceleration? I know edmund review GS F Sport out performance other on its class. It said 5.5 sec on GS and 5.5 sec on M37. Some website said 5.4sec on Gs and 5.2sec on the M37. Have anyone here experience on the acceleration on those two?

Driver's race, both even even though the M37 has a 3.7 liter engine good for what 330hp. Lexus ponies have always been solid and accurate.

I didnt buy the GS because of its acceleration. I bought it due to its full package, it's NOT the fastest sedan out there but it does everything I need for a DD. We have had it for over a year and we still love it like when we took it home the first day.

My concern is Im not sure if my thought were wrong. I did not ask which one is faster then I get the faster one.. GS F sport is way better over all.

I certainly didn't buy the GS for its prowess as a race car because that it's not. It's a family hauler that has a lot of technology wrapped up in a very nice looking package.
