Does anyone have, or can point me to, the acceleration times for a stock GS430? Specifically, I'd like to know 0 to 60, 70, 80, 90, etc. I think either Road and track or Car and Driver had a spread on it in one of their issues. I'm hoping to settle a debate whether the GS is faster than a Cobra from above 80 mph.

Thanx, Peace

I could tell u this one right off the top of my head, NO, our GS's pull hard but not that hard, that's what Forced Induction is for =)

Please use the search feature on this board......
This is probably one of if not THE most addressed topics about our cars....
Not specifically GS. vs. Cobra but acceleration in general......
Please try searching first to avoid thread redundancy....TIA, Tiny

well from the encounter that i had (stories/enthusiasts) it would seem that the cars are similar from 80 on up. of course we close the gap the faster speed that you start from, where drag plays more of factor. in nascar they call it drag hp....specifically how much hp it takes for a certain body style to reach 200 mph. of course we cant reach 200, but with our more efficient shapes, it takes less hp to get to that certain speed. mustangs being quite "draggy" negates the hp advantage. hth....

By the way, I did try a search and came up w nuthin after 30 minutes! Lots of 1/4 mile times and 0 to 60 but not much else.
