Default 1/4 Mile,0-60 Times for stock GS 300?

Do 93-97 GS have the same 1/4mile, & 0-60 times as the 98-2003?

What will the average GS 300 run in the 1/4 mile?

Stock 1999 GS 300 does the 1/4 in 15.9 sec at 89mph. Thats pretty slow.

Unfortunately, our car is a slower than the newer generation GS3. I think our 0-60 is 8.5 seconds and the quater mile is 16.7 seconds. Minivan killin' territory.

to make matters worse, those are numbers for our cars stock!! Add some 19 or 20" wheels, subs, amps, etc, and it gets even WORSE! The thing that really burns me is the soccer mom in her 3.5 Altima can dust me, and not even know I'm trying!

Hey Dropped GS... scroll down just a little and look at my thread "1st Gen GS Model Description".. this will show you the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times... Est. MPG as well as a lot of other stuff. Hit the link "Click" To get the nbrs on the newer GS go to the Lexus site and go to "model library" to view their specifications. The first gen is not there.. but you can access its info via my link.

BTW, the 1st gen GS300 with the four-speed transmission is about a half-second slower than the version with the five-speed. I'm not sure when Lexus started putting the five-speed in the GS, I'm thinking 96 or 97.

The 5spd started with my year, 1996. That is also the year that they half cleared the tails and split the tailights with a metal bar.

Jmai, I'm with you, if I'm gonna race someone, I just start accelerating 30 seconds before them to gain momentum!!! LOL
