quick question
01 or 02 gs400 (stock) vs my cl-s (I/H)
who would win
from roll
from a stop

 

for the '01 and '02 years, lexus only made the GS300 and GS430, not a 400. the GS430 stock for stock with the CL is close competition. seeing as the CL here has I/H, we know what will be the case.

 

in 2000 they made a GS400 and it pretty much hauls. so that would be very close for you to either win or get run over.

 

it should be close ...but I think that you should edge him out ....I raced a 98' GS400 and I pulled on him from a roll ...from the dig he may get you initially but you should get him in the end ....goodluck bro.

 

my homeboy has a 98 gs400 v8 300 hp. its a tank but 300hp. v8...

is the 01-02 gs a 300hp v8. if so then my money is unfortunatley on the gs

 

01-05 GS430's are low 14 sec @ 100mph cars, so they're definitely no slouch. I think with your I/H it would be a pretty even. From a stop, I'd give the GS the advantage. From a roll you might be able to edge him out from 50-110.

 

98-00 GS400's are a tad bit slower (mid 14's), so if it's one of those years you should be able to take it from a stop or roll.

 

though the GS 430 has higher stock hp, it outweighs the CL by ~200 lbs. and then it 's RWD.

 

you'll win... i did and i had a AEM CAI thats it... take traction off and throw it down to 1 not sport shift... sport shift he caught up on me cuz it shifts at 6500 rpm in 1st gear instead of 7. bring up psi down to 25 too lol cheat a lil

 

I'd say the Lexus.

 

its the 98 lexus and i got I/H

 

What?! you haven't raced yet?
don't post again unless you have raced and tell us all the details.

 

whats the 01 CL-s stock 0-60 times?

 

CL
Obtained from R&T July, 2002
0-60: 6.5 Transmission: Automatic
1/4 Mile: 14.9
1/4 Speed: 96

0-60: 5.9 Transmission: Manual
1/4 Mile: 14.6
1/4 Speed: 98

GS
Obtained from MT June, 2001
0-60: 5.9 Transmission: Automatic
1/4 Mile: 13.9
1/4 Speed: 103

 

The main thing in this case is the condtion of both cars.

98 GS is pretty old now. If it has less than 100K mi, I would put money on GS.

From what I read on the Clublexus forum, GS400 is faster than GS430.

It has something to trottle response.

 

The GS hands down.....my best friend owns a 98 GS400 and i have an 01 cl-s with aem cold air. He didn't beat me that bad from a stop but he did clearly win.....

 

01 CL-S would be a close race with you possibly losing.
6spd would definitely take a GS400 from a roll, not sure about from a stop though. I raced one on the eway from 70mph & 80mph up to 120mph-130mph and I was pulling on him the whole way, slowly but nonetheless we could both tell who had the faster car.
I'm in a 6spd, stock by the way...

~BW~

 

Had Intake and headers. Race my friend's GS430 and beat him. Before the race we were so sure that he was going to beat me that we were talking about giving me car lengths. We then decided just go heads up for the first race. To our surprise I pulled about 2 car length from the start and never look back. You will have a better chance if you are at a stop. Somehow GS has a slow responds, the car just don't go when you floor it! We raced 3 times at a stop and I beat him all 3 times. The fourth was at a roll, we are dead even till 100 mph

 

should have read this before posting.
