In fact, a 5 spd has similar horsepower at the wheels as an SC400.... Its a good thing we have a torque advantage.

(about 3 seconds until someone contests this one)
This is good to know. One of these days I want to go at it with a 400. Any takers?

If your bone stock just like me (inactive ECU upgrade) then I'll race you any day of the week, twice on sundays!

Seriously, I would love to race an SC300 5 spd... and at least get a ride in one for a few minutes. The only other lex that came with a manual is the IS and early ES300s, which both lack a certain "cool-thingy" the SC series have.
