Sadly enough, never since I purchased my GS350 Fsport in November of 2014. I've lit up the tires pretty good but not at WOT. Sounds like I need go WOT on my commute home today

You mean since purchasing your GS 350 you have never mashed the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor even for a brief few seconds?

I know...I know...I should be shunned but it seems like every time I would have the opportunity to go WOT I have my girlfriend or kids in the car with me

you have great restraint my friend. You definitely need to go WOT when you get onto the highway

I dont do it everyday, so ill say once a week. This is my commuter cruiser car, so i dont really go wide open too much. But the main reason i got the GS was because its comfortable but if i want to go wide open then its pretty fast too. The GS has a wonderful naturally aspirated engine. 0-60 5.5 secs is fair and relatively quick for a mid size sedan.

It isn't 5.5.

5.6 is hybrid. 350 is slower.

I've hit 100 many times when WOTing, I just can't feel it and the car wants to keep going. It is a fast car. But I didn't know 3rd gear can go all the way to 100.

I've seen it listed from 5.4 - 5.8 for the 350. Less power, but less weight too. I think they're very similar in acceleration, much like the LS and LS Hybrid.
