ok, guys, everyone, let's add more than a second on every cars 0-60 performance out there. Enzo ferrari now gets 4.4 sec (3.3 sec previously). Jaguar xj220 now gets 4.4 sec (3.4 sec previously). Let's add one or so second on every cars out there... Including school and church bus and trucks. What does a church bus run in 0-60? Is it 18 seconds? Let's add 1.5 second on that. That would be 19.5 seconds. Oh yeah, hate to bring this up (not against the bmw fans particularly) a 335i 0-60 is now officially 6.0 seconds. What does a bmw 550i run? 5 seconds? Let's add 1 second. That would be about 6 seconds 0-60.

Im curious to see what the 0-60 is for the GS350 in real life. The torque on the GS350 comes earlier in the RPM. also, since the GS is a lil heavier it might get better grip and could launch a lil harder. Ive never driven one so i couldnt tell you. It will definitely be in the low 5's. I wouldnt be supprosed at all if it hits 4.9
Are the 3.5L motors tuned differently in the GS versus the IS?

I tried today and only reved up to 2000 and it just spun like crazy. but i kept my foot on the gas and 2nd gear came kinda powerless, I got 5.6. then I tried it without reving up just givin gas and got 4.8
I think you are right, they test on tracks with better grip than on the street and they car rev up to 3000 RPM

You are awesome! Almost like I was commanding an RC car from far away! Thanks for trying for the benefit of the group. Now thanks to your diligent research I will remember not to rev as high next time I try for a quick start on non-racetrack pavement. Who knows, with adjusted 0-60 times of 1 second longer as this thread has suggested maybe we can now rest easy.

The GS350 says 274 @ 3600 RPM
the 3 lb difference in torque is impossible to detect.

I have only street tires though and they are the stock ones. with something better you might be able to launch a lil higher.
the track is great. it is NHRA and its a very good track

is there any other car that is that quick 0-60 with around the same power and weight? it just amazes me to think that a automatic car with 300hp that weighs 3500lbs can run 4.8 0-60..
we should make a thread with all cars that run 4.8 0-60
example:
'08 charger srt8 ........425hp 420tq 4160lbs. 4.8 0-60 +119hp +143tq +630lbs.
'07 ford shelby gt500..500hp 480tq 3920lbs. 4.9 0-60 +194hp +203tq +395lbs.
'07 aston martin db9..450hp 420tq 3881lbs. 4.9 0-60 +144hp +143tq +326lbs.(v12)

Rather irrelevant to any particular car on any particular fuel blend at any particular altitude and temperature on any particular road with any particulalr tires on any particular road. There are no absolutes, only ballparks.
Best 0 -60 mph time will be when it is driven off a cliff. Only works once, though.
