Supra
Pros: 2JZGTE, Getrag manual if you can find one, some rare targa-top, it's an absolute animal.
Cons: Cop/theif magnet, too many of them been thrashed too much, parts (for me) are more expensive than a Soarer/SC, front space is not bad but you might as well not have a back seat.
Soarer/SC
Pros: Luxury, rare 5-spd manuals, timeless lines, Supra parts interchangeable, roomy for a coupe.
Cons: The usual wear and tear of a car of this age, value depreciation.
Summary: Cliche, but Supras are like a girl with STDs. You wanna hit it but afraid of the consequences
If it was between a late model Supra RZ/GZ with the Getrag 6-spd, leather interior etc and ISN'T trashed for the same price I'd consider one, but otherwise I would much rather my Soarer. To me they've got more class than a lot of other Japanese coupes, however I wouldn't mind a late-model Supra RZ... I like class more than ***

A twin turbod Soarer versus a naturally aspirated Supra is no competition. I just hope that the Soarer can still endure the test of time. So far, many nice ones still look reallly good and modern for a 13 year old car.

As far as comfort and driveability, I couldn't sit or drive the Supra for long periods of time, everything just seem so stiff and uncomfortable. Supra seats hold you tighter than SC seats but, it doesn't have enough cushioning IMO. It seats a bit too low and hugs a little too tight for my personal tastes. Comfort and inflated pricing seemingly drove me away from the Supra market. Although, it's a great car if your into lots of speed and sportiness. All in all, comfort and driveability plays a huge role in my book.
Those are strikes I have against personally owning a Supra. I still feel the perfect car is a SC with a 2JZGTE. Comfort, style, speed and luxury all-in-one!
My advice is to figure out whats more important to you and narrow your choice down with that. Whatever choice it might be, it'll be a good one since they are both very solid cars!

Thanks all who replied ive cme to my conclusion that being dunt dah dunnnnnnnnnnn the 5-speed sc300. After weighing my options the sc300 seems to be much more practical for the life I have,and I also thought about what im going to be doing for a living which is real estate and i can pick someone up in a supra just wouldnt be classy. Thanks again all and i welcome myself once again to the lexus family

If you want a sleeper, go with the SC300. If you want the sports car/race look get the supra. In my opinion, the two cars are very very similar. The supra tend to be very expensive whether it is turbo or not but the bottom line is, they both have the same motor, 2JZGE.

And you get the love here and in other places.....do you want to be a sheep among wolves or a wolf among wolves?
Basically, I know, I have always loved the SC AND the Supra. The best of both worlds is an SC (Supra Covered-up) that can scoot like these:

If you got the $$$, get the supra. If you don't want to spend $30k for a nice old supra and would rather buy a mint sc300 for 9k and put 20k in mods into it.. then u know the answer.
