I know about brakes/tires, but my point is this. Do you think that Lexus (Toyota) would change something so significant on the same platform?

We're not talking about the new '06s, but the '05s, which (if I remember right) are the same as the '98s.

GS400: 98-00
GS430 gen 1: 01-05
GS430 gen 2: 06-?

I think that that's actually the same "gen". Besides the engine upgrade, I don't think that there was an actual platform upgrade.

Just like when the changed the engine in the S2000 from the 2.0L to the 2.2L.

So this more of a thread to highlight stupidity rather than the abilities of the car?

sounds like it

98 Lexus GS400 weight - 3690 lbs 60-0 @ 113ft

Where'd you get those numbers from?

05 Lexus GS430 weight - 3715 lbs 60-0mph @ 129ft

How can it get worse? Did they forget how to make the car brake?

more crap added to car

Did you put any thought into it before you posted?

Adding 25lbs to the car adds 16ft to the braking distance?

change of the brake booster, change of the wheel cylinders. there is a couple of things

and yes, adding weight will change your braking difference, although I didn't catch that it was only 25lbs difference, oh well

I wonder why they would downgrade parts and lose that many feet? It seems like it wouldnt be worth saving the money

whats up with the viper stopping distance? seems insanely high for a performance car
