Since you're used to all that power, why not opt for the 450H or wait a short but for the 460 beast?

I am at a loss as to why you are moving from that E55 to a GS350.....

Just by looking at that E55, it is obvious you are a hard core modder with a serious performance machine. The GS350 cannot compare to that car in terms of performance or dynamic capabilities.

So I guess you are moving to a GS because of other reasons that you had your E55 for.

Wow! Your E55 was really nice

Hopefully when you get your Lex and mod it, it'll be as nice, if not, even nicer

I dont care for the power really. The amenities and options that the GS has over the E55 are wow! The thing w/ the GS is that I'd like to get the air runner system on it...w/ the 450h I wouldn't have the trunk space for it

Aristo, I'll give Kirby a ring and see what's up. (wait LOL I thought it was ARISTO! HAHAHAHAHAH)
