After coming across the Lexus.com "Knowledge Center" in another thread that listed most things you'd want to know about your specific year, and the fact that it's slow at work, I compiled the numbers together because there's always "how many of my year" or "how many 5-speeds" threads.
3883 MT sc300s alone is a rare number! more MT 350z are issued per YEAR
Even the overall numbers are pretty rare. There are a lot of cars that people would think are rare that have higher production numbers. The total number of SC3/4 made is about the same as the total number of Jaguar E-types made or the number of 1st-generation Corvettes. And carnage among SCs is surely higher because most of them were DDs and most of the survivors appear to now be DDs for teens.
Very much moreso with the 98-00 cars. I spent 5 years looking for a VVT-i SC4 before I found the right one, and then I saw those numbers and realized why it was so hard. Compare the 2,418 SC4/VVTi with the number of 8 cyl Ferraris produced in the same 3 years (somewhere around 8-10k).
