Wonder if they have the new rating for the 350Z M/T as well. I always kind of doubt if they actually achieved 300hp with the VQ35DE.

Thats cool.
Surprised they arent dropping the new 4th gen VQ engine in there. But I guess it would be sort of redundant just like the GS350 and GS430 will be. lol, however there engines will sort of be like the current Lexus lineup with the IS350 & GS300.

Ya me too - the later year G35's (the ones with 298) all seem to dyno a little lower than you would expect. Of course all the 260/280 ones dyno at about 15% dt loss or less. I'd say the 298's will be down to 290hp, and will lose almost no tq. No biggy, like SICK mentioned it isn't like the numbers will make 'em slower.

I hope that car in the picture is not driven on anything but glass-smooth roads. There's almost no tire around those expensive rims to protect them from a pothole impact.

Prices are creeping up. Didn't the M45 start at 45k last year? Its now 49k? The sport is 50k? Didn't realize it had 5.1 sound to the GS 7.1. Well I guess the cars do come with more features standard though.
I expect sales to hold where they are, which is solid for the company.

What is the 7.1 in the GS? In Home Audio the 7.1 is generally extra side channels or side/rear channels. This is useful if you have a large dedicated listening room, but how does the GS utilize this extra channels in a car? Just curious as I'm just not sure where those extra channels could be of any benefit sice speaker location would be critical.
