You would win from a roll because they are AWD.

Are you sure its a GS400? I couldn't find one of those, there's a GS430, GS300, IS300, but I don't see a GS400.

If its the GS430, then for the magazine racer (you know who you are).........

Ok, lots of corrections here
No GS of that body style is AWD, and in 2001 it was now a GS430 (4.3L V8 enlarged from 4.0L V8)

I would say it would be a close race depending on the condition of the car and whether it is stick or not.

Probably a drivers race.

And no, it was never 14.0 flat.
