I love my '06 GS300 AWD because of her looks, feel, ride, technology and handling but it has no power off the line or in the first 3 gears. Is there a chip upgrade that can help with this or am I just SOL?

get a turbo. I've seen nice mods you can do for a few grand that'll solve your problem.
I've even thought what can I do with my GS450h. I think I am SOL becuase of the limited space b/c of the 4 engines this dang thing has, but you have options.

Look into a supercharger. Owned a Regals GS with 240 hp and 280 ft lbs/torque. With FWD, the car would burn 60 ft of rubber from a start at 3/4 throttle.

Why manufacturers do not add superchargers for added muscle w/o sacrificing mpg is puzzling. I would much rather have a supercharged engine then turbocharged.

maybe you should've purchased a 430 instead

Looks like it's too late for that so why go there.
I'm happy with our GS300. The 245hp is enough to pass the slowpokes and then some. It's a big car and can never become a sports car. I know how much fun it is to drive a quick car though. If you're not concerned about warranty void issues, I agree with getting that supercharger. Then let us know how it rides so we can live vicariously through you.

how bout this.... find a way to safely add some horse and torqe to my 450h. I'm serious.
I have no room in the hood so I have no idea even if this is possible.
I didn't buy the car for the mpg, I did it for the CVT and the instant torqe so give me a suggestion and I might just roll with it.
Any ideas? Is it even possible?

Nothing is impossible, just depends on how much time and money it will take. In your case, A LOT of money is needed.
