Okay before you start flamming.....Calm down. I'm on 20's now so I'd probably go neck and neck with the S500. But I did not have an Intake at the time.

The S55 was surprisingly slow for so much horse power. We went to 0-60 ... had me buy one car. Why are your cars so slow???

The S55 is not slow- please remember that you are comparing apples to oranges. The S55 is one heavy beast and its a full size luxury car just like the S500. The GS is midsize and the stock GS's pull around 5.8-6.0 zero to sixty times. I had a GS400 with the same exact rims you had with a Supra Turbo rear, Rod Millen torque converter, Swift Racing intake/Exhaust and it still wasnt incredibly fast due to the fact LD1's weigh in at 34lbs each!!! I loved my GS and it was fast but no where near my current ride.

You should compare the LS430 to the S55 and then see where you are at. The S55 runs from 5.4 to 5.7 zero to sixty romps so there would be no battle there either. Also a full car length is quite a lot at 60 mph. Of course the S55 will cost you about 30k more.

Oh by the way I like your ride, it looks a lot like mine did but I didnt have a body kit. Welcome to the site.
