I know our cars have 306 HP but the car is so heavy that it doesnt really feel that punchy.. dont get me wrong, it has plenty of power but its not like it snaps my head back when I hit the gas.

I don't think the GS350 is suppose to snap your head back. That's the GSF's job. Haha

What we need is torque to break our necks.

If the GS has 300+ torque it'll be gold. 700 I wouldn't mind too. The S Class Benz has over 600 torque I think and it's more than the HP and it's a heavy car too but the damn thing can move!

You always know the car is going to be fun when you check the numbers and see it has more torque than it does hp
