Vette Boy Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hello All, I just picked up an '02 GS430 with 70K miles. 30 months old, fully loaded with Nav, Mark Lev and 17" wheels. I replaced my 96 Impala SS with many mods, runs a 5.7 sec 0-60 and 14.2 sec quarter. I was tired of the old hag but I couldn't give up the performance...so I started looking at V8 sedans. Then this GS popped up, lots of miles in a short time period, just what I wanted. I also have a 96 Vette, LT4/6 speed with lots of mods and more coming. I plan on keeping the GS430 stock, I love the performace and luxury. It'll take me a few miles to learn to drive the speed limit. My Impala was a lot louder Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vette Boy Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 Where to begin.Ill try to mak it short.... Yer sick brother, get some help I modded up my SS big time. Then I went for an LT4 Vette 'cause it weighs 1000lbs less and has 100 extra HP. I'm keeping my GS stock....once I crack the factory set up and start "improving" the rattles and hassle start coming. I need a clean reliable business ride, the GS is as fast as my SS stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new big400 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Im teling you once you atart you wont stop.This is a very capable car and I also planned on keeping it stock and a daily driver.Now its a very tough and capable daily driver.P.S. these mods have been on for years and I havent had a single prob of any kind and also no rattles.These cars are just as reliable if the mods are done correctly.
