Question enough hp?

Don't you think that the LS needs more hp?
I know that the car is very fast, its faster than an MB,Q45,745,A8 and the JAG, but the Q' has 340hp the bimmer have 335hp the A8 have 310hp dont you think that we need the 332hp LS that there is in some places???

I think that the LS has enough horsepower already since Toyota machanic can make all of the horsepower on the ground unlike the Q45 where they are 30 or 35 more horsepower but yet the 0-60miles, quartermile time and so on are still slower than the Lexus. Maybe Nissan engineer cannot use the most out of the engine. I also think that the LS suspension and the engine, weight, etc combine together make a very even. (perfect calculation)

The Ls while somewhat fast is the defenition of luxury and is not trying to attain Hp levels of other vehicles that focus more of there attention on performance.

The LS430 is fast, but its not faster than the MB 745... and its not faster than the jag xjs... unless your talkin bout a diff. jag model.. but the 745 is 0-60 in 5.9 and qm is 14.38
