Default What kind of fun is there in a GS4? V8 300 horses!!

I am curious what can i do with my GS4? Since it is a rear wheel drive, there must be some kinda fun. I like that pushing feeling on the freeway but what else is there?

what exactly do you wanna do?

Nothing better then hitting the freeway with the power mode on and flooring it!

Well there is certainly is a lot of ponies underneath that hood. Since the GS is a pretty big car you need them.

You could always take it to the track, and see exactly what else it could do.

There are more then a few in California.

Thunderhill, Sears Point, etc.

1) fill up tank with 91+ octane

2) get to a stop light

3) light turns green stomp on gas and hold on

I know what mean Rom, I bet our 91 octane here in the bay area is still more expensive then the 93 and 94 octane on the east.
