So Greg got a new car, too...

And just like Nicole, he also got a 2000 Lexus ES 300. What are the chances?

Found out last night when I went over because Peg needed help with her wedding program, and mom needed help with her homework.

Total cost was around $20,000, but also only has around 20,000 miles, so that's a pretty good price. And I finally looked up the specs at Edmunds.com:

210 HP @ 5800 rpm
220 ft/lbs @ 4400 rpm
Curb Weight: 3373 lbs.

I wonder how much HP was added due to the VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing - Intelliget). Anyway, a quick comparison with my car, based on the factory specs:

200 HP @ 5500 rpm
205 ft/lbs @ 4500 rpm
Curb Weight: 3053 lbs.

So I guess the extra weight is probably what made it feel not as powerful as my car. Though the intake in my car must make a difference, too. The new GTS has 210 HP because of its MVIM (Mitsubishi Variable Induction Management) intake, and has a curb weight of 3307 lbs.
