the quarter mile time is slower too for the GTZ....
Maybe they mean the ES v6?
gotta b an esv6... it is lighter than the GTZ w/ the same exact engine.
hmm here's some interesting data

2k3 GTZ 3296lbs

How the fuck do you count?
Peanotation's post compared a 1999 GTZ (3165 pounds) to a 2000 ES (3252 pounds) The way I calculate it that makes the GTZ lighter by 87 pounds. So what the fuck do options have to do with anything? In this case the heavier car was faster. No conclusion as to why. And if you compare model year by model year there's no 113 pound difference in the lot. :dumbass:
Ah well another addition to your post count, regardless of the accuracy of the information.
go back to galantforums fishbboy. oh wait....being a dick about someones mistake...adding to your post count....hypocrit
yes but if the 2k 8g is heavier, how is it faster? I don't think those stats are accurate. When I tested my 0-60 (old fashioned stop watch), I was well in the 8 second range. Maybe they mixed the i4 stats w/ the v6s.
Only thing that i can think of is that the 99 GTZ is cal spec and the 00 ESv6 is fed spec.
Anybody know if the EPU mapping changed from 99 to 00?
