What's up guys, I had created a thread a few weeks back about a G8 GT VS. a GS.
After really looking into the G8 I decided I can NOT do without luxury features and plush interior.![Cool](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
My question is, which is the best GS with the most aftermarket support in the performance area. I have done searches, but I have came to the conclusion exhaust and intake is about as far as you can get with most models. My goal is to have one fast bolt on GS.
I was wondering if you could add the same parts from a 2nd gen 430, to a 3rd gen 430, since they share the same engine. Parts such as headers, lsd, gears, srt intake and so forth. The GS430 isn't my first choice, due do gen4 NAV, but if the parts are compatible off of a 2nd gen, this may be the model to get. And before anyone tells me that if I want high performance, to get a different car,.. I really like the 3rd gen styling, and I there is really no other car I consider, I just want it to be fastER. Thanks for any input.

They make superchargers for the is350 so possible on a gs350? I would say headers off a 2nd gen would fit a 3GS 430 also I'm not sure though just in theory. I have seen the 2nd gen Srt intake on a 3GS.

The reason I mentioned the GS430 was because I know of a few modded ones that can put pretty good power on. I know I ask a lot of questions, but I really want to get it right, as I plan on keeping the car for a long time. I always regretted getting my GS3 as it was a slow compared to the 4.3.. Thanks guys. I'll look into the is350 S/C and see if it's compatible. I didn't even know they made one.

Hmm, I assumed all the GS would have about the same weight lol.. And when I mentioned knowing of a few that could 430s that put down good power, I was referring to the 2GS. Decision decisions!

Yeah a local shop did a supercharger is350 back in 08. All black. Pretty sweet. It was fast but then again I had a camry at the time so... Lol but it was pretty decent. I would have rocked it.
