I'm gonna run my friend's 4th Gen GS350 F Sport.

I'm gonna be mounting several cameras on both cars to get a good footage together!

What are your predictions?

I raced a 2008-2009 GS460, it was not going no where from me. We didnt start together, but if it was a 0-100 I would of had him. I also raced an LS460 about 5rpm it start pulling on me and then at around 6rpm i start catching right up. GS350 is fast, I won''t be suprised if you will be disappointed and get a GS350 after

I would hope the 460 wins but seeing as Lexus has tried a new design it could beat the 460. I do want to see this.

Would definately want to see this. I'm looking at waiting until December of 2012 or a long as December 2014 before moving to the 4th gen GS, but I'm really interested to see where Lexus takes the new GS.

I would think that the GS460 would pull away in the top end.

Depends on how you'll do this but I think 460 in the straight, Fsport in the twisties.

Bro your 460 will mop that thing in a straight line. You ran a 13.6 lol a 4GS can't do that.

Edit: My bad that was Rider but you'll still mop him.

How is this even an argument.

460 will win. More HP. Same 6 gears.

Be sure to mount a cam on the trunk of the 460 facing backward

I will be mounting a camera on each car's rear fender. This way the view would be looking at the leading car pulling away, rather than headlights blurring the footage!

PS: Also, I have been told that my car back-fires on every shift! It would be nice to see that too!
