I think US versions of the S550 (that's what it's called here instead of S500) and LS460L is about the same in speed, depending(a little) on how loaded with options(heavy) the cars are.
The 2008 GS460 for the U.S. will get the same middle east version of the 4.6 V8 with no direct injection though, with only 342 hp
