0-60 Mph, How Fast For Stock Gs400 ?

[Jeff]

I own an LS but have been looking into a GS and was wondering what the 0-60mph time is in a GS400 ? I looked it up on edmunds.com and it said under 6 second. I've owned an under 6 second car a few months ago (Porsche 951) and the GS400 I drove did'nt seem even close to the acceleration of the Porsche. Has anyone ever timed a GS400 and what was your results please.

The GS may carry more weight but its a powerful car. Try test driving a newer model 01-05 GS430...very impressive car.
