I know I don't need to tell you this, but you shouldn't have sold that beast I sold my first sc300 only to buy another one, and I'm nowhere near the level you achieved on yours bro....

It's even more fun to turbo VVTI Get an IS300 and you'll love it.

I've spent a lot of time in my SC's (4 years ) and in only one month the IS has replaced the "I don't want anything else" feeling. It's still a Lexus, it's newer, it's more refined, and it shares the same motor as the 300 guy's love to boost AND it has more potential with the VVTI. I've seen the SC guy's complain about VVTI, but I have also seen the power of a VVTI under boost and it is awe inspiring

I still love my SC's and always will, but technology and boost can come together happily in the newer models

Comparing the SC to the IS...?

The SC is one of the best looking cars of our generation.

The IS, on the other hand, is one of the dullest looking.

He want's a change, that's why he sold it. I've already been quoted as saying the SC looks best, but the IS drives ten times better. These are cars, we drive them.....

I felt exactly like you felt after I sold my SR powered 97 S14. I was thinking of selling my SC too when winter comes around again a vip style LS is in my sights but who knows I change my mind weekly

What is it in a car that you are looking for?
What was the reason why you did sell that car?

If i were to build another car for myself after i get my SC300 the way i want it, it would be to import a vvti chaser. After i single turbo and put down at least 500whp and run 11s, ill probably sell it and get one.

I know they are not really "legal" and such, and would have to be registered with loopholes, but o well. And i dont wanna year about me and illegal imported cars, i know it wont be truely legal, but i dont care lol.
