I don't really need the hp but would be great. Also planning to keep the car as long as i could. Just asking what to get because I am planning on jumping on any low mileage 2GS that is white and if the motors on the 4s could last that long then i have nothing to worry about when i come across to finding one.

Lets also mention that the V-8 and I-6 get basically the same fuel economy.

I don't mean to sound like Jay-Z (4.6 vs 4.0 RR) but get the V-8

I had a white 2005 GS300 that was a company car on a lease. I drove that for a good few months. It definitely left alot to be desired speed wise. While it wasnt slow...it wasnt quick.

Now I have a 99 gs400, and its amazinggggggggggggg. It's hard for me not to go fast. I love it. SOOOOO much more then the 300.

If you end up getting a white 2gs4, then we can be like brothers haha.

Its like this, I have a GS300 and have never really been pleased with the performance. Handling with mods yes, performance no. To get the horsepower gains I wanted I needed to buy a used supercharger kit ($2,000), have it installed and tuned ($2,500) slightly upgrade the exhaust ($1,000) so with that said, I'm still only sitting around 300HP (dyno coming the first week of May).

IF....mind you IF I would have bought a GS400 or 430 my driving pleasure would have been different. I don't regret buying my 300 brand new back in 1999 but I wish I would have bought the 400. I always imagine what it would have been like to have a spartan looking and riding twin turbo V8 (after modding to the TT).

thats cool and all but wwere talking bout the 2nd gen gs and they are referring to the 3rd gen gs in that link

Str8 VIP

lol i remember that verse "imaginary player"

anyways im in the market for a Gs as well never looked into gettin the 300, i figure just go with the 430 because i don't want to get 300 and fantasize about the 4. kinda like being with the girl who just there at the time instead of the girl who u want

quick question? they still making superchargers for 430?? last one i've seen was te rod millen S/C for the 400. then i heard that votech was making them now? any info on this???

Get the 400/430. The 300 is slow unless u turbocharge it.

Hold out for a 430....Mine came with factory Nav and a wood steering wheel. Much faster car with about the same gas economy. Plus if you plan on putting alot of miles on the car, the V8 is a stronger engine the service center at my dealership claims.

Yeah man. The GS300 was my first car and I jumped on the first car I drove ( I love the color). I regret not waiting for the GS430, as I really feel the need for power, although I am going to have to turbo it one day.. If I had the V8, my needs would have been satisfied.. Go with a 430 man.. Prices are low these days. When I was in the market 98 400's where going for 13-14k, and 03 430s around 23k..
