I bought a new GS430 today and traded my GS300 sportdesign (graphite). I loved the graphite color but something was missing when I was being outrun from a full stop by maximas and accords. I think I am finally, totally happy with the car I have.

 

Congrats to the V8 club. Many Japanese V6s are generating 240-280 HP range, hope Lexus will increase the HP in the GS3 soon.

 

Congrats rahtid - an I6 or V6 is no substitute for a V8.

 

true true. gotta love the power of the v8 and 300hp. Congrats on the car! post pics and do you have mod plans for it?

Thanks all.....I think I will drop it first then go from there, maybe a tint. I already had the dealership throw in a black pearl emblem package in the deal and I may just get some wheels to match the badging, either the BBS or Work termist mesh.

 

And that V8 is no substitue for the STi's H4.

 

Cool!

 

 

I picked up the GS430 today, I love the power but will be breaking it in since it has only 115 miles. The suspension is totally different from the GS300 SportDesign that I traded in, I liked the feel of that suspension better on the highways. I guess I'll be upgrading sooner than I though.
