0-60 and 1/4 mile

^I would say those are conservative numbers given by Lexus.
The IS 350 does 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. I would say the GS350 is a tad slower than that. But it is also feels faster than the GS 430, which is suppose to do 0-60 in 5.7 seconds. I drove all 3 of them back to back.

I used the regular during sport mode once and the engine wouldn't allow me to downshift past 5000rpm ( somewhere in that ballpark) so I was stuck in gear until I upshifted. When I was in power mode, it allowed me to go to redline... in fact I am new to sport shifter (vs manual shifting) and forgot to upshift, so I pegged at redline for a couple of seconds (3rd gear), soon as I banged it up one gear, the car shot up; went from like 45 to 80 in a few seconds...power baby

I have an IS350 and my sister has a GS350 RWD. From driving both car, the GS350 feel a lot slower than the IS350. I haven't driven the AWD yet but I think the RWD is a mid 14 second car at best.
