Hey guys,

So my dad has a GS460 with the 8 speed gearbox and it's a rocket-ship. Numbers wise...it looks slower than the 350 on paper...feel wise though, the thing is geared so nicely just like the IS-F I'm sure, it feels faster to me. Obviously very close comparison. The 460 has more HP and torque but is much heavier. Curious to hear anyone's thoughts compared to mine. Thanks.

the IS should be faster cos it's "lighter" vs the GS....but GS is a different class....LOL

quarter mile the is350 will win, but lets say on the highway im sure the gs460 will be faster

IS on the low end and GS on the top end stretches

i would say IS350 is faster for two reasons:

1. it's lighter
2. GS460 uses a de-tuned version of the 4.6 V8, if GS460 has the same motor as the LS then it's a different story.

It's just a sensation. If you take a larger, heavier object and pit it up against an equally fast smaller, lighter object, the larger one will always feel faster. More momuentum builds up when there's more mass, creating more G sensation.

Momentum is not equal to G force. G force doesn't have anything to do with mass.

f=ma
force=mass x acceleration

They're very well linked.

Also
m=wg
mass = weight x gravity.

Exploit... assume gravity is space...!, then use that m back in f=ma

G's is not force.

Momentum is a function of velocity, not acceleration. If you are going fast in a straight line, but not accelerating, you will have lots of momentum, but not experience any G forces. If you discount friction, it also takes no additional force (thrust) to maintain your velocity.
