I think you would have done a lot better from the dig, rolling start on a turbo is an advantage.

He would have to be FI (which he is not) to pull like that on a car that is equal if not faster than ours. I doubt the SRT intake and exhaust system can create that kind of power. I belive he may have pulled away, but I think the 350 stopped trying soon after

Here is a vid of a slightly modded GS400 vs. Is350 on the track.. Looks like the GS400 can hold its own with some bolt ons..

I personally think the difference is negligable between the two. It's just like how people say Maxima Vs. GS400/430...if you sleep on them they will edge you out. If a GS350 sleeps on the GS400/430 it could edge them out as well; stock for stock.

My car has some pretty good mods on it right now and I am certain that I would pull on a stock GS350. All are nice cars though. I'd rather have the newer GS350 only for the newer technology and better fuel economy...I like the 2nd generation styling better though and for its age it holds its own. My car just turned 9 yrs old. lol. However, I wouldn't "save up" for a new GS350...too similar in performance compared to my car. I would get something radically faster like the IS-F. Just my $1.83

Yeah, I think that's Kev's ride.
That's why I like the track, faster cars don't always win, if you are a good driver, get a jump on the tree and now they have to chase you down.

Anyone willing to see who's car is REALLY the fastest? Stock engines of course. aftermarket exhausts are fine I guess. Let's REALLY put this thing down on the table. Panties and all!
