Not doubting what you're saying here, but this seems quite unreasonable. If coupled with reckless driving and/or DUI, then I would think it probable. Could you point me to your source?

I did a few searches and the best document I could find says nothing to that extent (do a find for "100 mph" inside this .pdf): http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/inju...oc/caspeed.pdf

in response to the unsure stopping response/distance of the new GS.

The car is amazing in stopping.
Yes, I have driven others where I feel they stop faster, but for my car only weighing a few hundred less than the GX470, becuase of the additional engines and added batteries, in my GS450h, the car stops amazingly.

While going 100, just to see, I punched the breaks fully.
Not only did the seat belts wrench down on me, becasue of the PCS, but the car stoped on a dime, and with no side to side motion, and no steering wheel movement. Kept me in a straight line till it was stopped. Quite amazing.

Not to worry about that. Also, the side to side movement in the car when avoiding a pot hole or tire on the street is amazing with the ****. The car moves from left to right with EASE and NO BODY ROLL. Another amazing feature.

135+ mph in GS450h.
169 mph in old VFR.
180 mph on new GSXR 1000.

all on legal closed tracks of course. Nothing illegal here.

as far as the low pressure indicator, since i changed my rims the light was on. i tried the steps to clear it but it didnt work. so i just ignored it after i checked all my tires.

It would be interesting to see the top speed via GPS, like a Garmin 2610 or so.

All of my Honda motorcycles INDICATED about 7% higher than ACTUAL speed.

Heard it was a liability dodge. Dunno if Toy/Lexus does that too or not.

Do you want to re-think that statement? Perhaps you were just joking...yeah, that's it.

Fastest speed in my GS? 80. And I'm not proud of it. It's a luxury car and is driven on public roads. I really shouldn't speed.

-40 to 120mph with power not on

The fastest ive gone so far is 172 in early 5th gear. The car is geared for 202mph. I dident go that fast due to tire ratings. But after christmas and my car has its presents installed and tuned, im going to make the first 200mph+ 3gs vid.

I believe these cars have a governor that limits top speed to around 140. You must have modified your ECU and have access to a landing strip. And this is a 247 hp GS 300? Does your dad know you did this?

Yeah...that's the ticket. Yeah...

MRxSLAYx

Its 145. I have about 350 with all the mods that i have. And hell ya i have alot of tickets. My parents get mad. They regret ever buying me the car. But its there fault for ever buying me a 50k car.

I don't believe this was a liability this dodge. This was just fraud on some of the car and motorcycle manufacturers part. Since you were showing an indicated 7% higher your car would also record that you drove 7% FURTHER in distance which meant your car went out of warranty sooner which would save the manufacturers a lot of money. There was a lawsuit recently about this issue...

Ive Had My Gs350 To 138 Racing An Old Vette. Highest Ive Been To Was In A Porsche 911 Turbo . I Hit 178 Mph. My Freind Says It Will Break 190 Mph. I Didnt Have The ***** To Go All The Way. I Was Content With It Bec Before That My Record Was 148 In My G35, I Was Racing A Mini Cooper Supercharged With Nitrous. I Will Never Forget That Little Car. The Oly Way I Could Beat Him On Open Highway Was To Top The Hell Out. As I Passed Him At About 135 I Turned My Head And We Made Eye Contact. It Was Like A Scene In Some Damn Racing Movie

With Full Exhaust, And Intake This Gs Will Probably Produce A Very Modest 18-20 Hp. Dont Believe The Crap On Hp Figures When You Buy Products. There Is A Big Difference Between Whp And Hp At The Fly Wheel. With Automatic Transmission You Will Usually Lose 10-15% Of Your Power In The Driveline. 303 At The Flywheel Doent Mean 303 At The Wheels. Dyno The Car And You Will See. Im Sure Its Got To Be Rare To Have An Owner Dyno A Lexus Gs, Even In Southern Ca
