Damn those GS400's are fast
Damn those GS400's are fast
I was on my way into work this morning and some guy was tailing me into work the whole way. We got side by side at a light and when it turned green we punched it and he walked me (almost a trot), then we proceeded to run 100+ through traffic and I stayed right on his ***! It made for a very entertaining commute into work!
What are the specs on those things anyway?

I could give you the 0 - 60 and 1/4 mile times (5.8 / 14.3) but they are highway monsters.. they can run with lots of faster cars
with my modded 5spd i can keep up to 80 mph.. then after 80 the car just pulls about 10 cars to 130 mph

one of my dream cars, not because they are fast, but because they have no pillar on the door so you can open the whole side of the car and it looks so clean.I did play around with a GS400 from about 50-80 and I took him by half a car, but I was not 100% sure it was a fair race because I got the jump

Sprite could you not see 200's on the end of the speedo ? middle east ones go to 260kph.
As you can see why I don't bother w/ posting my projects up. Either way u get flamed from someone.
That thread proved it to me.

I would hate to own a $45k plus car to get smoked by a $30k V6 car and then to add to it to just see your lights the whole time.

"worthless" currency too. If you can do anything to make its value go down in the next few days would be good. The lower it goes the cheaper my car becomes

Well , if you like the 850, then you should go for the 840, it's faster. The V-12 BMW engine seems to be more about smoothness than out and out power. Mercedes, too.

Yup. If it's a BMW, and it has 50 in the middle, then it's the v12. I think there's only 2 models, the 850 and the 750i/il etc

, you smoke this expensive azzz car over and over again I would trade it in for a faster car, but the worst part is you said he got pulled over, I would be twice as pist off that a maxima full of people put the spank on my expensive GEEride. This is funny though, funny characters in this Max.org forum

Yeah, I know, that's what I meant with the 850, I just didn't recall all the letters. I tend to pay attention to the body style (8) and the engine size (50). The rest are the niggling little details.
