How can you improve performance on a 2013 GS?
Is there anyway to improve the acceleration/horsepower on this thing that's not terribly expensive?
I know it goes about 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. I would love to get it under 5 and closer to 4.5. Is this possible?

I believe the 5.3 seconds is a bit unrealistic for a stock GS 350 with 306 HP and ~3,900 lbs. Nevertheless, to reduce 0-60 mph just 0.1 (1/10th) second you need a lot more horsepower. To reduce 0-60 as much as you want (0.3 - 0.8 seconds) would take an additional 75 - 150 horsepower if RWD, and a bit less if the car is AWD.

As soon as I got through breakin I raced my buddy in his 328i with the turbo 2 liter and he pulled on me pretty hard. Even worse he added a $300 plug and play tune and now he pulls on me really hard. Took his quarter mile down to low 13s, which is solid for a 3500 pound car with a four banger. Too bad we don't have a turbo to turn up the boost on! But our v6 is silky smooth and stout in its own right!

The cheapest way to hit those numbers is to wait for a GS-F.
