Default The hunt for 06 GS300 begins.... thoughts

Ok... the battle between NSX and GS300 has now ended.

After careful evaluation of driveability ( practicality ), looks, luxury, comfort, image, and some other stuff.... the Lexus won overall,....

I think as a long term buy... an 06 bought today is gonna make more sense in 4yrs or so, than purchasing a 94-97 NSX-T.

Now... you already know I cannot leave the car stock... so let's look at my options.

I saw springs available for this car... not sure what heights,... but does any one know if it's gonna need camber kits with the available kits out there?

20" rims - race style chrome, staggered setup.

Not sure how much lattitude I'll have with the audio set up,... if I want to transfer my amps and speakers / subs into this from the SC400.

I'm not sure about the performance options out there as of yet... any input is helpful.

I like the head unit,... but I guess I'll loose dvd capability... or does the nav support that,... provided I find one with nav.

Any other suggestions??

Oh... has anyone seen a black one with the ivory interior??? My choices in color right now are the glacier and the black.

The SC400 has served a good tenure,... but it is now time to retire, and start a new legacy.

Ive seen used '06 GS3's in the low to mid $30's.. I should pick 1 up soon I love the GS350 but I'll wait a little while for them to come down in price.

exactly... I'm a business owner tryin' to be financially responsible.... so this one fits the bill all the way around.

My race days are dwindled down to nearly nothing... maybe I'm growin' up a lil bit....

The 430 is cool... I'm thinkin' if the price was right... possibly.
