Since I owned my GS300 from February of this year , I can't help but notice how strong this car feels. I have other cars in my stable that I use for play, but this GS is pretty quick. My GS is used for business and to cruise in but several times I had to get around somebody or pull out ahead of traffic and the acceleration is spot on.
I searched on this site to see dyno readings but was very unsuccessful. You veteran owners of the GS, have any of you guys dynoed this car yet. I am bone stock besides lighter wheels. Very curious if this car is putting out a little more than what is shown from the factory.

Gs300 has great gearing (3.9x) to help improve acceleration

I know the 300 and the 400 are night and day in the performance department, but this 300 is pretty quick. Especially for its size, it moves pretty decent. My buddies 227HP '01 Maxima couldn't keep up and his car is several hundred pounds lighter than my GS.
Just observing from what I have seen , still learning about this car.
