Don't forget the mileage has lots to do with it also.. These cars were 0 to 60 in 5.9 sec when brand new.. Age, wear and tear will definitely make that worse. Guaranteed a fresh engine rebuild maybe even tranny would net better times IMO. Still no matter what the age or mileage is these cars are still worthy..
What do you expect out of a 4000lb car with less than 300 wheel horsepower?.... Not to mention a lazy final drive ratio and stock everything?
Actually a GS400 weighs 3693 lbs with 300/HP & "not under 300HP". I agree the car is the video is OK Performance for a car with almost 200K miles but I won't be braggin to much doing runs when a car is not in Peak condition (w/ check engine light).. I guess I'm a bit biased as I never ran a time over 14.5sec in any of my GS4's (stock) but I also have mint condition low mileage too.
I'm sure the car would have done better if I fixed the cats and ran it again before I sold it lol. All I'm saying, is that anyone that thinks these cars are fast in stock form is skewed.
