I got about 17-18 city until I put in my TC, now it's 16-17. And I can defined as a 'lead foot'.

I like the gs. But if the car is only selling 270 to 300 a month. Something is wrong. I feel lexus should make more commercials/promote or something. I really didn't see a reason to upgrade the gs to a 430 from my unstanding the car doesn't outperfrom the 400 series.

But some of us, who were silly enough to get a V8, are doomed for life because WE JUST CAN'T GO BACK.

I have never heard it was .5 seconds slower. I think Lexus quotes it .1 seconds faster (5.8 vs. 5.9?) Or I might have it reversed.
It is slightly heavier but it also has more torque and a better torque/hp curve (comes on quicker due to the bigger engine).
I would think they would be a dead heat.
