SC300 5spd is more rare. some people STILL think they're all autos. Besides. it's a LEXUS forum! Supras have to live up to their SPEED image.

Whichever one you choose, dont get a car with a salvage title on it. There are enough sc300, and supras out there to find yourself a nice car without the salvage title on it.

Here are some pros and cons...

Supra:
Pros : Looks Good, Lots of potential, "cool" factor of owning supra
Cons : Much more expensive than SC3, doesn't have a turbo, cop/thief magnet

SC3:
Pros : Looks Good, Lots of potential, Lexus badge, more luxurious, cheaper than supra
Cons : expensive to fix/maintain, clean 5spd harder to find, heavy

You can't go wrong with either car. The same blood runs through the veins of both cars. That being said, I'll vote for the Lexus. After all, this is a LEXUS forum.

Your right but i would still have my dream car, and there will be a turbo on it sooner or later. And an sc will never be a supra no matter how hard i could try.

you can always make the sc as fast as a supra, after all, you're starting with the same engines, and it's a lot more luxurious

Yeah it is very luxurious, but i need something a little bit mre sporty. I will also get way more looks in the supra then i would an sc. Dont get me wrong i love them both but im leaning towards the supra, its just 10 times more sexier than the sc stock. Thats just my opinion.

SC, it's not much more to maintain than the supra, most of the parts are interchangeable, so you can get parts at toyota instead of lexus.
