. A new IS300 would be a close race. The GS300 is a 16-17 second car, no problem at all beating those. Same goes for the ES300.

LOL, I remember when everyone used to ask about my dad's SC300 (mine now)....I would always say V6......kinda embarrasing, little did I know. And when I tell people now a days that its an I6, there like "what's that"

Most people are idiots. They think V6s are superior to I6s, which couldn't be further from the truth! It's a damn shame Lexus is going to lower itself to 3.3L V6s. Following hte footsteps of Mercedes I guess . One thing I've always respected about BMW is that they've never used V6s no matter how hyped up they became. Now all they have to do is make their I6s work right!

The GS3 traps at 89 miles mph in the quarter so it's a hair faster then 16 secs but no, it's not a 17 sec machine. But that's magazine testing. I need to take it to sears and vsc and see how it does.
