We must remember that the M5 has 400HP that is one hundred more than the GS430...So to go head to head against the M5, Lexus will have to pump up that engine close to that figure.I think that the M5 does 0-60 in about 4.8 sec.

The GS430 competes very well against the BMW 540i in acceleration they are almost dead even in braking i think the GS430 is slightly better and in Top Speed the GS430 is slightly faster.The BMW 540 is better in handling but because of that the GS430 has a smoother ride specially in bad roads.
If toyota wanted they could do a super high performance GS430 to go against the M5.
Or a High performance IS to compete against the M3 that also would be very intresting..
