Oh, ok. Yeah, I guess it was a fail. I was thinking there were some thought there about not losing traction in snow mode or something.

It is slow by today's standards for a 80k+ luxury car.
"Slow"? I dunno....compared to any of the other luxury sedans on 0-60times.com, it's as fast or just slightly slower than the others. Unless you;re talking about top speed, which it sorely falls behind, but that's only because it's governed. It's capable of far faster top speed. For example, the Aston Martin Rapide S has a 0-60 of 4.6, but a top speed of 204 mph. So the LS is not far behind in 0-60, but incapable of keeping up past 130 mph or so.

the car supposedly runs a 13.9 on the 1/4.. maybe with stickier tires 13.7-13.8 must be possible. which I don't think is slow by any means.

With as much rubber/sticky goo as there is on the line at any commonly-used legit drag strip, street tires aren't going to slip on a full-throttle launch (probably).
