Has anyone seen what 2006 curb weight is supposed to be?

The new LS430 is supposed to be at least equal to the GS4X0 with the new 6 speed tranny, so I would say without a doubt the new GS will be faster still. Case Closed. Close the poll, I have answered your question.

I still don't buy the statement that the LS is as fast as a current GS43

I read in one of the car magazine that the 0-60 is est. to be 5.6. Again, estimated. So I don't know. But I will not be surprised is the performance is the same. Lexus spent most of the development cost on appearance and passenger comfort. They didn't feel the need for upgrading or reworking the engine. Hense, same numbers as the 2nd Gen GS. Except that the GS300 maybe now the GS 330.
