well my girlfriend, errrr ex-girlfriend, has a 2.5S. now admittedly, i have never driven a GS3, but if it is as anemic as the four banger in the altima, i would get a TL-S. thinking that the GS3 should have no problem with it. its funny how the guy adds to the story as more questions come up

BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Altima = Civic = weak

GS = muscle = power to kick @SS

I think that guy on the Altima is good. He can't tell is it the GS300 or GS 400, but he can tell when the GS is passing him from the exhausts, it's a GS 300. That's petty good. I think the GS400 comes with the 6'' exhaust and the GS 300 comes with 2''.lol
The GS is lower, wow. May be the GS have 4 or 5 people in the car. If I have my family or friends in the car, I'll let the Hyundai goes by me at 70 mph, because the safety of my family and friends come first. I will not race them for the price of my family.
The Nissan is a good car with a lot of hp. But they don't know how to bluid a transmission, peroid. The LS430 with 290 hp will beat the Infinity Q45 with 345 hp, because the trans. and gear ratio set up( I saw this on the car mag). Mr.Johnson's thread for his 420 hp at the wheels with only mod for the trans. is torque converter and valve body....I think that kid is just running his mouth. Hey..my Tacoma 4 cyl. beated the Vett. too. Can you believe that?

While I don't think a 2.5 Altima is a match for a GS300, I expect an Acura TL-S will THRASH a GS300 in performance AND handling.

umm.... i am not sure. i have the tl-s, and i think it will just be a close run with the gs300. i have driven both cars and to me i think the tls is only slightly better, if any.

A TL-S will beat a GS 300 by a solid car length and some 0-60.

Fellow Moderators , suddenly I think I started a dumba$$ thread, close it please.

handling?? FR will always kill FF in the twisties... i'll rock any TL-S in the corners. As for power i think we would loose pre 90MPH but then the double overdrive or whatever on those cars just dont move after that.
