It's a GS with a de-tuned LS460 V8, it's expected to be fast and smooth, I wouldn't call that a sleeper.

The real sleeper is the first generation GS450h. A real rocket with that Otto Cycle.

I was at the local drag strip watching my brother running his SC. There was another local Lexus guy with a GS460 with bolt ons..... I kid you not but I saw with my own two eyes it ran a 13.00 1/4 mile. That's almost IS-F fast. Definitely did not expect that. Sounded mean as hell too.
