Didn't mean it in a bad way - but I though the SC was based on Supra chassis? Wasn't SC called "supra something" in japan? In any case, whether it is based on Supra or not, I didn't mean it in a bad way, Supra is one of the best sport cars ever made, and there's no shame in basing anything on it's platform.

The Intergra GSR is a blast to drive, if u drive it hard, gas savings will be minimal, someting to think about

Agreed, and like I said before, the only good reason to make this trade is only to get a newer car with lesser mileage.

I would. GSR is more fun to drive than a SC400.

Uh, the entire suspension is the same as the Supra from the hubs to the frame.
The Integra I had didn't get all that great of gas mileage, had no low end, was overweight imo.
Very over engineered though, and yes it was stolen.

The SC was platform specific, it was built to be a world beater, which it was at the time. That is also why the price soared as the yen went up.
Lexus spares no expense in its top models, the LS and SC
