Well played motor trend. well played.

 

Love it. Imagine if the V8s were lowered with stiffer suspension at the time they came out

:P

 

I could care less that this is a repost. It brings joy to people who love the second gen. gs and I just saved them from having to search for it. So ha haa

 

agreed with 10 characters

 

no it doesnt and then bump one of the many many many reposts. also that video is terrible, its like the first video camera that ever came out. The "something wicked this way comes" video is great

 

Thanks for sharing. I certainly got some joy out of it despite the self-appointed moderators who feel otherwise. It's fun to think how the GS400 was the world's fastest and best-handling mass-production sedan, if only for a little bit before the M5 showed up. Lexus may be boring but they're sure built top notch.

thats cause you're one of the best noobs who is full of intelligent thoughts and def some knowledge of our cars

 

Thank you, thank you. It's time I get the recognition I deserve.

 

What a great video!

 

It was the world's fastest automatic production sedan. The M5 (E39) was only offered with a manual transmission.

 

I literally played with my self while watching that video. and than after watching all the other links "that guy" posted about my reposts, played with my self some more. lol

 

^^ Oh my.

And I wasn't aware it was labeled the fastest auto sedan in the world, I too thought it was just the fastest in general.
As mentioned, the M5 came out, and the AMG supercharged version of the E55 came out in 2001 where as before it was NA. Have to admit, that is still a very fast car by todays standards, especially with some mods.

Did anyone see the Australian version of "Something wicked this way comes?" It mentioned the GS having "Formula 1 bred suspension." I didn't know double wish bone front and multi-link rear was that rare back then. It was either marketing, or there is more in common with F1 in the GS than I know compared to normal double wish bone/multi link suspension of the time.

 

I'd totally believe the suspension tech was ahead of its time. I know for a fact all my bushings and struts are worn out and yet it drives completely satisfactory. I can't wait to see what it's like when I refresh everything.
