Re: What about the GS430???

Actually, the GS400s and 430s have the same axle ratio and transmission and engine except for exhaust. None of these cars are available from the factory with a real LSD. They are slightly lighter but remember I removed the rear mufflers and the spare and jack. I also modified the intake. Yes, in pure stock form the GS is quick... just not by very much. Most don't give the LS much credit. Thought I would try to change that
