I didnt think i'd reget this soo soon but i wish i had bought the 430... I only bought my 300 back in september. At the time gas prices were retarted and i really didnt have the extra money to get the 430 but i really wish i did now... I cant stand lookin at all your v8's on here and then getting in my car lol... 2 things im really sorry my car doesnt have is the HIDs and the Nav...ML would be nice too....

Hind sight is always 20/20. Take solice in that you do have a Sports Design, not a lot of those around either.

i wish i got the v8 too but everytime i get in my car i dont feel that way anymore....plus i think i would of gotten in alot of trouble if i got the 8..

i sometimes say the same thing i wish that i would have bought the 400 instad of the 300 but like you said the gas rices were just crazy so i went with the 6 but that will all change soon enough

Drop in the turbo and all will be good

i have had both and now im back in a 3. I could care less. i dont drive fast.... its a luxury car not a sports car.

and that is what we have bikes for.

I hear ya, i dont really dirve fast either... and if i want to i have my R6. But for the times i wanna get up and go... the 6 just dont cut it....

i thought i saw a nice supercharger kit for sale in the classifieds that might be of help

Yea but then im going to void the warranty and knowing my luck, i'll blow the engine a week after i install it

in that case you swap the dead motor out for a jdm 2jz and we'll all be envious of you?

well i dunno...

i think the 6 is fine. has plenty low end power. up top its kinda weak. but i hardly ever get on it.

I have the v8, but dont drive fast at all. Its nice to have to open up every once and while on the freeway, but most of the time Im just cruising. For those of us that dont really drive fast, I suppose having the v8 is just nice for when and if you ever need that extra kick.

this is why in the 10 million threads that come and go asking 300 or 430 , most say 430

on the bright side,even though you sacrificed power, at least you have the beautiful charcoal exterior SD. They never made a V8 GS in that color.

The 300 and the 4x0 get pretty much the same gas mileage. I actually get better than my friend with his 300. There are lots of threads on this too.

im sooo thinking about trading my car in and getting a nice well kept 400 instead.

the value of my car versus buying a used gs400 is significant enough for me to take the plunge..

i can save a few thousand and put it towards more mods
