Slickvic Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 http://lieuxdits.free.fr/mazdalogo90.jpg Like knowing what the "candle" emblem on early 90's Mazdas stood for (I know now). Oh, you mean the "toiletbowl" logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfxdave99 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Uh....IIRC, the GS430 comes with a V8. (puts down the crack pipe) yes V8 not v6.. hp/tq numbers are correct tho If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Uh....IIRC, the GS430 comes with a V8. Yeah, that's a 4.3L V8 vice V6 as was mentioned above. So what was this the older GS300/GS400 (3.0L I6/4.0L V8) or one of the new 2006 versions? If it was a GS400, they can haul bauls, even off the line and the Inline 6's are pretty sweet but they're also hamstrung by the automatic transmissions. Guys like that are jerks and need a beat down just to keep them humble. BOT - I really like having my car debadged and find it helpful in parking situations because there's less chance that someone will ticket a car that they can't identify without calling it in. Besides, it cleans up the rear of the car a lot and makes it very cleaning/detailing friendly. SBT - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyMtnGT Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I had a little fun with a manual IS300 the other day. From a stop light... let's just say he gave up before I shifted to 2nd.... I had an easy car length by that time:cool: I'm sure he had no idea what just dusted him, until I politely showed him my rear:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
