Default That RX really goes!

Well, for the first time in 3 and a half years, i have floored my RX today just up to 40 from a standstill. I must say, it seems a lot of quicker than what they say in the mags. I have a 2004 RX330 AWD, and it must be the torque cause its crazy fast for me. Although, it does sound like its about to explode.

anybody do an accurate reading of a 0-60 sprint? I must be going crazy, seems just as quick as my IS

Take it to the track (1/4 mile), I take my RX300 to one every week. Unfortunately, I am 7,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level down here so would not know the true sea level time, but I remember reading that Consumer Reports got a 17.0 on and RX330 unlike those 16 second times quoted by Lexus.
