LOL why??
My old man has one.. I will let you know if I am able to get him to run against me sometime. Our trans and v8 were spawned from the LS460, but it definitely is much slower.

Yeah, despite Lexus claims otherwise, the LS460 does 0-60 in 5.8 secs at best.

I thought the LS600h and the IS-F shared the engine

The LS600 has a CVT, but I know that the 8speed from the IS-F is also used in the LS460 sport or something

In either way, the IS-F smokes both LS's
The thing with the LS600 is that you can cruse at 100mph with at less than 1000rpms

Haha...that is sick!

The LS's weigh nearly THREE TONS ~ 5300lbs... so I don't know why you would even bother racing it...

A ton is 2,000 lbs. in America, 2,240 lbs. in the UK, and a metric ton is 1,000 kg.

...It is hilarious how few really know the difference between various units of measurement...and the fact that because of this, you had to post this. You are probably still confusing a few people by posting the kg in the last part though.
