No the GS-F lacks the low end power for daily driving, compared to its rivals with torquey V8 twin turbos. It isn't really about top end speed or 1/4 mile times at all. That big heavy segment of cars needs that effortless low end punch, rather than ringing out a normally aspirated engine in a big people mover. The na Lexus motor is more suited in a sports coupe or smaller sedan.
