You guys are kidding right? No an AWD car won't do a brakestand. When all four wheels are powered and you hit the gas and brake at the same time, all you're going to do is sit there and find out exactly how quickly you can overheat your trans and destroy your torque converter.


And for all of going "I would never do this to an 'expensive' car"...........people do burnouts and brakestands with cars worth twice or three times a GS. Your brains would probably explode if you've seen what I've seen. Try watching a guy in a F430 do a rolling burnout or a Bentley Arnage T-24 Mulliner doing donuts. Hell, drag racers do a brakestand to clean off/warm up the tires before every pass. Including the fellows who show up every Wednesday at Englishtown in their high 11 second E55 AMGs.

A GS300? BFD. At the end of the day, it's just a car, and if this is how the owner gets the most satisfaction out of his car, he's the one that makes the payment every month.

Disregard the T/C fail at the beginning.

I don't think thats a 300. I think it's a 350. Notice the lower side moulding is chrome. I believe the 300's are black.

Ummm, I never seen a lower side molding any other finish than chrome (unless owner painted it). Black? All 3GSs have a chrome lower side molding, including the GS300.
