Default Acceleration times (published)?

Anyone seen the published 30-50, 50-70 times for the GS300, 400 and 430?

I haven't seen any magazine articles on it, I pulled my stash out of the garage and going to start to look. Anyone know if the mags reviewed the GS?

I dont think anyone would publish 30-50, 50-70 times As they are not that common at all.. i think you'll probably find 0-60 times 1/4 times

30-50 and 50-70 are your passing times, used to be super common. I guess many cars today suck at it and maybe it was hurting sales of weaker cars. But it is a great acceleration measurement.

Pickup Road and Track or Car and Driver, they used to ALWAYS have it on all cars they rated.

I would be happy to see how the GS400 does around the Top Gear track myself.....

C&D or R&T or both I am sure have tested the GS3 or GS4, in the timeframe of the car new, and the car being as fast as it was compared to the E-Klasse and 5 Series, that would have garnered a lot of attention.
