Do you guys ever forget how powerful your GS4 is ?
Yesterday I was out to lunch cruising at about 45mph. When I was coming up to an intersection and the light turned yellow and instead of slowing down and stopping.... I mashed and the Pedal and floored it! WOW 
it felt so good all that power ...I forget my car has some muscle 
so after that I put on power mode and started playing with it all the way home from work 
just wanted to share
Remeber guys floor it once in a while ..it'll bring a smile to your face

unless you don't know how to drive, there is no reason that the maxima should take you... granted it's a quick car... but a V6 4door sedan should not take a V8 4 door sedan...
and btw... its a V8 lex can't touch NO bimmer V8... but again... that all depends...
nice try... please try again...

Now you say the GS is for old conservatives. There's plenty of young professional with GSs. Plenty of modded GSs, some having 500+ RWHP...not conservative at all. We made a choice based not only on stock HP numbers, but style, quality, reliabillity, etc, etc.
If I wanted the HP fun factor...I'd get SupraTT, mod it, and put it up against your M5 any day.
