Default GS 350 AWD Acceleration

Can someone please explain this.. I found these videos on youtube of 07 GS AWD hitting 60 in 5 seconds flat. The first one he mentioned it's an AWD but the second is obvious since there was no slipping. I thought they might be in an inclined road but the second gear seemed normal to me. I also see they rev it for a bit before releasing the brakes. I should try mine now.

What do you need explained specifically? for the 07 GS350 AWD the listed 0-100km (0-60mph) is 5.3s

Sooo, considering the speedometer doesn't actually know how fast the car is going and only how fast the wheels turn, all you need is a slightly worn out or smaller tire to have upwards of 15km/h (10mph) error.

and there is not actual precise stopwatch, it is hardly precise i doubt you would be able to notice a less that <1s error

My point is our GS is so powerful for a V6 and real world 0-60 is quicker than what Lexus claim it to be. And can't wait to see the new twin turbo V6
