I have had a few run ins with supped up Mustangs, Camaro SS, and Vette's....all late models, even a pair of Ferrari Modenas racing on the tollway....This car has held them all at bay and even walked away from a few.....I dont race around alot, but living in Dallas TX as I do, drivers do all sorts of hateful things to you on the road. Every car I have is capable and can get away from many, but so far this thing has not been caught or passed......I LOVE IT!!!!

Noble Spinel Mica, the best color!

Congrats and I wish you good luck with it.

Matador Red replaced Noble Spinel Mica when the LS was refreshed for 2010. The Noble Spinel Mica is darker, more burgundy,

As an old time hot rod street car guy our 08 ls460 has almost enough motor. Which is a compliment from me. Fun to have a motor

380hp and 8 speed automatic can beat most things on the road. Pulls hard on the highway. Just don't try with anything with AMG, S, SRT, M, V. on it .

I honestly did keep up with a pesky motorcyclist who wanted me to move over on a 3 lane highway with barely anyone on the road! I moved over from to the center lane and when he went by, I punched it and was on his tail up to 130 for 2 miles. When we ran into alittle traffic he started weaving thru traffic to get away. For his safety I backed down. The top end is great!

The only way that's happening is if you're racing people that aren't racing you. You'd probably be close with a C5 Corvette that's bone stock, as well as a 3V, but both are faster.

Also, your wheels are on backwards. The longer edge of the blade is supposed to be facing toward the front of the car.

yes you can walk if you have a car or two on those cars and kick it or get a much better jump off a light your likely not going to have a 400 hp other car pull on you with the LS
if its a 6--700 hp car then it will pull and pass.
not saying the ls is blazing saddles, but 5.4 0-60 on my rwd with some smart driving is hard to catch up to once someone is napping at a light.
its a fun powertrain the car is a land yacht and can pull like a tiger
