Well i can see where you're coming from. A couple months back i finally got rid of my SC and as much as it hurt to do it, I knew it had to be done. I got tired of dealing w/ all the problems and the cost to maintain the look was killing me. Kept cracking those wheels . Anyways i'm moving on. I'll probably get flamed for this but i think my next car will be the S2000. A beautiful machine and fun to drive from what i hear.

What else? I wanted Toyota build quality and a car that will give you a 100 extra hp for the price of an intake, an exhaust, and a boost cut controller.

Agreed. So much work to make such a nice car. Why start over? Boost it. Or get a nitrous kit.

Or go nuts on the interior and make it that saddle dark red leather... Mmmmm

I say, take it to the track and run some High Performance Driving Events in it. Scare the bajeezus out of yourself and you'll NEVER get bored then.

My opinion is to get what you want. If you want to try a Surpa TT then go for it. If you like it great, if you get tired of it, sell it and buy another SC or any other car you feel you want to get. You can either think about owning a Supra TT and if you really would like it or get one and find out for yourself. Sure, the SC is a nice car, but they are pretty affordable now so you can always get another one if you really want to go back. Part of the fun of project cars (If you are into that) is building them to your vision, but once it is done and you feel an urge to keep builiding, the only other choice in that case is to get another project car. If you have the means and the desire I say go for it and try all the cars you think you want. You might actually find something you like better than your SC.
