can someone tell me what is suppose the seconds on a 0-60 for a gs 300 stock . as compared to the gs 400 seconds, also how much extra horse power does the ect power button gives.

From what I have read the ECT does NOT give you extra horsepower! It allows the transmission to shift quicker; both up and down shifting. I think it also allows to pull further up the tach to the redline at WOT...not sure about that one though.

he's right and the 0-60 for the GS400 is 5.7 seconds dont really remember off the top of my head the 0-60 for the 300 but google should help you out.

Silver GS

I believe the 300 will do 0-60 in 7.6 sec.

I think for the 300 it's 7.8.

Silver GS

how about 7.7

I think it's like 20 seconds for a 300.

Isn't that crazy when you think about it...

300hp - 5.7/5.9 seconds 0-60
225hp - 7.7/7.9 seconds 0-60

A full 2 second difference only adding 75 extra horses from Lexus! I bet if I added 100 more horses to my GS400 (making it 400hp) that I wouldn't be able to reduce the 0-60 by even 1 second...pretty weird, interesting though.

Gotta factor in that you're comparing a 6 cylinder to an 8 cylinder pulling the same 2 tons of fun....

does pushing the power make a difference in the seconds

For some reason i think my 300 can go faster than 20 seconds

No, not seconds; maybe 1-2 tenths of a second. But when racing an equal powered car it definitely could help to edge you out with the win.

i think the 300 is about 1.5 seconds slower than the 400/430 in the 0-60.

in the 1/4 i think the 300 is about 1 second slower than the 400/430, if i recall correctly.

according to Motor Trend

gs400 0-60 5.7, 5.8, 5.9.(although I have read 5.4 in some other sources)

GS300 7.6 to 60
