I'll address your comments individually:
You could take a clean black SC with 97 bumper and taillights
throw on nice 19's with a good offset
customize the exhaust, tint it --- wouldn't you have the same appearance?
Trust me, if you post your 97 SC and it looks like this, everyone will drool over yours as well!!!! Always remember, the marque of any great thing, is the amount of ease it APPEARS to be accomplished with!!
Sorry man didnt mean to jump on ya, but its a pet peeve of mine when someone hits me with the "oh he just got some rims, thats it", when I have lots of other detail work in my car!
Good luck with your SC and I hope it looks just like this only in the Bordeaux Red Pearl!!! (on of my fav SC colors
)

19 inch CCW wheels are pretty cheap they are ~$2200. Also the offset is easy just call ccw speak with john and tell him you want the same wheels SW has. He will look up the info on the computer and make the wheels.
The wheels are the easy part. If building a 97turbo SC was simple everyone here would have one.

SW, I'll look forward to meeting you aTX2k4 and getting to see the car in person. Just wish I was able to bring my sc300 down 
We'll be trailering my buddies supra down, and it's only a one car trailer.

Hands down
Hands down...I think SW(clint's former) car...the blk/blk SC300 is the best SC lb for lb..I've ever seen....bar none. I can't think of any other car in this forum that comes close.
I know there's a couple that are faster (barely)..but nothing this clean and classic looking w/that kind of sleeper power

hmmmm
Others in the form could confirm higher times...but I think Ebanks who was running a T88 turbo up in the northeast was doing 1200hp..and was aiming in the 10s...
His(ebanks) car kept breaking from what I read......someone correct me if I'm wrong
SC300Turbo(Jeff) not sure if he sold the car yet..but years back I think he was in the 12s..
I don't know of any other turbo SCs putting up 12's or higher...
I think other cars might put out more hp..but again..if it breaks...it doesn't count.
