Next point, Lexus is stating that the 3GS4 is the fatest Lexus ever - hmmm, did they forget their '98 stats? Anyone have idea?

Redline is 6400 RPM on the 430.
I think this depends on what condition and what options you want. The ML sound system is just better than Nak or Pioneer. The 430 Nav is better. Some of the little quirks of the 400 have been solved on the 430. The 400 has better options relative to modding engine wise. The 430 looks better due to nicer rear tail lights ( not much else to distinguish between them ), then again you could upgrade the tail lights on a 400. As far as quickness, I'd be willing to bet that this would have much more to do with the driver than the cars, as far differences.
Get the car that is the best buy relative to condition, color, mods, mileage, etc, Good Luck, I'm sure you'll be happy with whichever GS4X0 you get.
