Stock Acura TL-S w/Navi VS. ??? Lexus GS 400?

So I was waiting at a stoplight today...and this teenage kid in a Lexus GS pulls up to me and starts revving. I didn't think much of it at first cept the fact that it was getting pretty annoying that he kept on doing it until the light went green..and on top of that, he had some annoying ass system..bumping away with the trunk rattling like no other from the subs. Maybe he wanted to race?? ...So when he went in front of me, I saw it said GS 400 on it. If I can recall my memories..GS are suppose to be pretty damn decently fast. How fast are they compared to our cars? Considering that I see him pretty often in my area, If i was to run up against him on the stoplight again, would it be wise to run against him?

Thanks in advance.

Assuming its a stock GS400, and if you've got some mods, you can probably hang with him up to around 100mph ... after that, his v8 will destroy you. Can't say you'd beat him cuz GS400s are no joke, but certainly hang with him.

fully modded, a type s can hang for a little bit from a roll, but the gs will destroy it pretty goo.

I went with a GS430 once, and I'll never do it again,I rather save the gas

2 simple reasons: a monster of a v8 and RWD.

Not by much, id say around 80mph... half a car length ahead, 100mph full car length ahead, 120mph you see red lights blinking in the horizon. Just keep it under 60 if you want to win LOL.

I always thought the car with more torque would do best off the line, not at higher speeds?

The GS may win but it's still ugly.
