SC300/400 vs Current Sports Coupe
I heard many people often compare the SC300/400 to many current sports cars such as BMW 3-series etc. As far as performance goes, it seems like a well tuned SC seems should hold up because its basically an elongated Supra chassis. A well tuned Supra can almost out handle and out accelerate anything. If equiped with the right coilovers, brake upgrades, and other Supra suspension upgrades, could an SC walk allover many other cars at the track also? I head some people
Additionally, the SC has the refinement, elegance, and comfort that are beyond the levels of most cars out there on the road today. I definitely think that despite it being discontinued today, its still competitive against luxury sports coupes out there today

well for me being a current honda owner i would say hondas are great for commute and reliability, but i want a little more luxury and preformance in a car, i mean honda can preform pretty well but i like the fact that the sc300 can almost be limitless in upgrades and hp. and i think the american nissans arent that reliable sc300>s14

keep your eyes open, and you will see that in a few months, the 2JZ-GE will be just as limitless as the GTE!! buy the SC and then start searching and reading... you wont be dissapointed!

I agree, you need a lotta money to make a SC Coupe faster...But then again, to make any car perform faster and better than it's stock set up, you need a lotta money

Try this: JIC coilovers, JIC stb, Daizen sway bars, Daizen bushings. These four mods alone will make an SC drive on rails. This is the setup Manaray had on his otherwise stock SC400 riding on 16s and believe me the handling ability of that car on canyon roads is enough to make your passengers soil themselves. Hell I don't have half those mods and my car handles incredibly well... add a Torsen differential and Supra brakes on all four corners and you'll have a very capable track car...
