huh?? are you posting in the right section? the IS doesn't come in the 400? if your talking about the GS/SC then the 300 is the v6 n the 400 is v8.

Yes this is posted in the wrong section, but the main diffrence in the v8 versions is they usually have more features.

There is no IS400

There was an IS200 which was only sold in other countries which is the same as the Altezza RS....although i believe they tried or did sell in the states for a bit and just stuck with the IS300 series

And there is the IS430 which was a prototype that did not go into prodction
It used the 4.3L from the GS400 and used a 6spd tranny from a supra

maybe you're thinking of GS300 and GS400?
