Actually, I believe my 07 GS350 has an advertised 303 hp.

 

2006 GS430 Is Rated for 300HP

 

i'm afraid to go that website simply because i will envy any other GS owner out there =[

 

Thank you!! Stuck....will clean up later

 

corrected, thanks...

 

very useful info eyekutr

 

My '06 gs300 can play mp3 through it's ML sound system

 

Interesting, I have never tried it since I have an ipod adapter, but it has been discussed extensively against this

that's interesting? as far as i know 06 gs can't play mp3 data cd. when you say mp3, you burn mp3 data files directly on cd and play off that? you sure you are not changing them to cdda format?

 

Great info. I was just wondering what is a lighted scuff plate?
