JUst looked up the factory times... its going to depend on the driver, the GS400 does an acceleration of 0-60 at 5.8 while the 350 is rated at 5.7

I think your comparing the 400 to the 430, the 430 had a bit more torque.

I wonder where they are getting their numbers from, I assumed they would just carry over whatever Lexus claimed for that year.

GS350 has better top end and better transmission/gearing. Our engines seems to be mainly a mid-range performer. They die out a bit on the top end.

Time for some video proof. No one willing to star on you tube? I am retired from filming as a result of two failed attempts in my Gs400 vs boosted SC300's

I've ran against a stock 350 before, and my 430 pulled away from him until his headlights were in the distance... but I believe that if my car was stock then it probably would have been an even match
