i need help deciding
so heres my dilema.. im wanting to get another lexus either a gs or sc. but my dilema being a want to get more performance and speed. with your personal experience what would every one recommend
gs300
gs400/430
sc300
sc400
im thinking i will do the sts turbo setup on the 400/430's or if i get the 300 i will gte if i can for less then 3k is that reasonable?
i cant choose what i want and i need help deciding. i was dead set on the gs400 since supposedly its a pain to tune maybe impossible to tune gs430s.
then i saw this video and now im thinking bout the sc now what do i choose

Your asking SC3/400 owners to help you decide between an SC or GS...?
Let me ask you this, do you have kids or plan on having any and afraid to put a car seat in a 2-door car? If yes, get a GS. If no, or your not afraid of car seats in a 2-door, then SC.
No but really, it all depends on what YOUR goals are, thus no one can decide for you. GS you have the option for a VIP car with some power, SC, well its self explanatory...Bottom line, do you want the weight of the 4-door, or the weight of the 2 door...do you know the costs of modding a 1UZ? Do you know the costs of modding a 1JZ/2JZ or to go na-t?
Too many variables for anyone to say "get this one!!", cause its what you want in the end.

With the agonizing lack of punctuation in the post, I would say he doesn't know much of anything.
Like searching the hundreds of threads, nay thousands in this site, and not putting a "What should I do" thread in the tech section.
How about you be your own man?
When you finally buy a car and "Can't figure out what wire does what", come back. We'd love to help.

asking for whats best for u is something u need to decide or have family and friends that know u help out. we are just a bunch of people on a website that know u from ur username and know nothing about who u r.
as stated above we can help with tech questions or the occasional looks good when u post a pic but thats about it.

my apologies for the quick typing and neglect of punctuation along with not very useful information at all. plus, yes i know i was asking both gs and sc lovers hoping to find out how many have had both cars and which they prefer.
thank you for pointing out that i do not care about punctuation. ive worked for lexus for 5years and know a "good amount of what the wires all do and what goes exactly where". plus i have TIS which answers all my unknown questions. I wont need your help on that, but thank you for offering your assistance.
dear mr. turbodreamz,
i do not know the cost of modifying either one of the 300's or 400's. i would love to go turbo but thats what im also wanting to find out is which series will be cheaper and more reliable to boost with stock internals a sc3 or sc4.
i will do the sc over the gs, since i dont have kids and dont want any, plus if i had to put a car seat in i will toss the kid in the trunk and strap it down safely
that was a joke. but nobody ever gets in my cars except me and my lady if shes honestly lucky enough, so the sc will be very practical. i pamper and baby my cars so i dont like letting people into them knowing they could scuff this or trash that, HUGE pet peeve.
bottom line is whats quicker, reliable, and cheaper to boost? roughly looking to spend no more then 3k.

nova- i owned the gs and just sold it last year cuz it was to sluggish plus i didnt want to shell out almost 2grand for 4 window moldings, thats my cost on those stupid things.
but ive never had the experience to own or drive the sc300's and 400's. longest drive ive had with the sc is only an hour and that was a customers car so i couldnt do what i would if it was mine.
it looks like i will be goin for the 300 and slowly peice together the turbo kit.
