How Often Do You Go WOT (Wide Open Throttle) With Your GS 350?
#17
I've seen it listed from 5.4 - 5.8 for the 350. Less power, but less weight too. I think they're very similar in acceleration, much like the LS and LS Hybrid.

But after 60, there is no contest that the GS450h pulls insanely quick. It has a huge advantage at the top end (since weight is less of a factor when you're already moving).

P.S. - WOT at least once every few days.. especially on the highway when no cars are around.. it's good for the engine.. at least that's what I like to tell myself haha!

I go WoT when a slow poke, old geezer in a late model Corvette hogs the fast lane babying his retirement car and who never pushes his car beyond speed limit dispite having 500+ HP on tap. When an opportunity like this presents itself I get to hear that awesome sound generator and engine wail!

Agreed, the GS450h and GS350 are very similar in acceleration at take off/launch to 60.
But after 60, there is no contest that the GS450h pulls insanely quick. It has a huge advantage at the top end (since weight is less of a factor when you're already moving).

I hate those inconsiderate biatches that cuts u off really close without even looking and signaling. I honk and beam the crap out of my brights and by the time they look up in their mirror I'm already gone.
I love it when u flash ur high beams at night quickly it looks like a lightning about to strike.

As often as possible entering a highway, passing etc., but I have to be careful as I get beyond speed limits really fast (here in Ontario, getting caught over going 150 kph can get your car impounded and big $ fines).

Yea I recall going up there to toronto and saw that I drove after the border going pretty slow I think I was going the 100KM and everyone is zipping past me and from then on decided to go with the flow of traffic there.
