I always thought GS350 was really fast...

They're not going to stop using a V8 in the LS and put one in the Camry lol

But I realized it has the same 0-60 as a Camry V6 LOL. (Camry 5.7 seconds and GS350 5.6 seconds)
I used to have a 2012 Camry V6 SE and when I bought my 2014 GS350, it didn't feel much faster.
Now I see why haha. Still love the car but wish it would have been a lot faster.

I thought the GS was a little slow on the pick when I hit the gas pedal in the beginning. After doing some research on the forum and reading what has worked best for faster acceleration, I can honestly say that I don't want to drive another car if it isn't mine. My car is a blast to drive and I love driving it on the highway.

I always had the notion that the GS was a quick car also, until I actually drove it flat out and realized it could be quicker. However, there are other factors of the car that make it an enjoyable experience to drive, especially as a daily driver which makes me look forward to driving every single time. Yes, it is a little embarrassing to tell everyone that 0-60 time is in the mid 5's considering the competition's 0-60 times, but cruising down the streets while the car is turning heads is a good feeling that far makes up for it.

I think the new Camry will still use the old 2GR-FE engine. If so, then the power would be the same 268 hp / 248 lb-ft of torque.
I hope they can back up that look with better performance. The older Camry V6 was a sleeper, bland but fast. This new one looks very aggressive.

If 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are that important to you, I don't think the GS is the right car for you. When you consider everything this car offers in terms of luxury, comfort, amenities, performance and reliability, I think it's pretty impressive. Other cars may do some things better, but sacrifice others.

If I were complaining that my LS is no faster than a GS despite it having more power and a V8 (which is true) you'd have more of a point imho.

Has anyone here tried swapping out their differential carrier with the 2nd generation IS350 carrier? Those cars have a final drive ratio of 4.08 (compared to the 4th Gen GS350 final drive ratio of 3.769) and the 2nd Gen IS350 is capable of hitting 0-60 times in the mid-to-high 4s!

I didn't know the old IS350 was in the 4 sec. What about the new IS350? Is it the same as the GS (slower)? What went wrong here?

Well the car consistently rated number 1 or 2 in the segment the GS competes in costs about $65- $70K when equipped like a GS, and has 0-60 time over 7 seconds - go check out the '17 Mercedes E300. If you want a dragster go get a Hellcat. If you want an appliance go get a Camry. All a matter of personal preference.
