[QUOTE=STSupdog;4397542]I have Both....

Both Single Turbo, Sound system, Rims , etc...

Both are Fantastic Cars!! but, Sorry Guys, Nothing replaces the Supra to date.


Man,

You got such a great deal on your Sc300. I recall seeing it on Supra Forums and was hoping it didn't sell for another couple of months, then I seen a post my new daily driver....good buy and nice ride.

I totally agree on your above comment but some here might think we ar bias, even though we own both

I was just thinking today about ditching my Sc for a MVIV NA. But them i realized that why would I want to be part of the crowd? I'm happy knowing that my car isn't like every other tuned car out there. To see a well tuned SC is rarer than a Supra itself. Knowing that I own a car that will always have a look of timelessness (if that's a word), have the heart of one of the greatest Japanese engines ever built, and still be a luxurious ride, is what I would much rather have than sayin' I own a Supra.

SC's don't hold their value for ****. Get the Supra. If done right, it is everything an SC owner would dream of having. I on the other hand have different plans for the car.......the ultimate daily!

It depends, if it was a DD i would take a built Sc. But since neither would be a DD I would take the Supra. Love both though

Supra for the oil squirters, resale, and getrag. I bought the SC for the creature comforts, the more mature look and the interior styling.

I don't think the Supra wants the ****ty resale value or the extra 300lbs.

I've own both. The people that pick sc's over supras havent experience the crazyness that comes with the package in owning an mkiv twin turbo. I wouldnt even consider the SC luxurious unless you count it being a lexus as a factor, so im not sure where people are getting this notion of the SC as being a far more luxurious choice. They both drive and ride pretty much the same, but the supra has a tighter and more precise feel.

Also, which car ends up with the most OEM parts hand-me-downs?


supra - fun to drive, own and build. Flexible platform that can be tailored to your unique driving style.
sc - superficial "get da ladies, street cred, mad respekt, tell eveyone you drive a lexo" as far as the replies i've read on the last few pages

I see the poll shows 60, 40

You guys are full of crap if you wouldn't prefer a supra, unless you have a family and need the room. As far as performance and looks and even name the supra murders the sc300. The cars resale values show what's in demand and not since they were similarly priced new

The supra looks too much like a hyundai tiberon, a bit ricey, especially with that big azz racing wing. The SC is much more classy. The only reason the resale value is better for the Supra is b/c of the movie Fast and the Furious. If I'm going to get a sports car it would be a real sports car like Porsche or a vette.

I would say if I had the money .. Supra TT 6spd White hard top

If money is an issue( which is the case for me) SC300 will be doing a Twin Turbo Swap w/ 6spd... My reasoning, SC300 for $5500 + $5500 ( for 2jzgte 6spd motor and trans) still not close to buying a cleaning stock supra which can run in the upwards of $25,000 ...

By the time I spend $25,000 I should have a 600 to 700whp SC300 ...


Quick Reply: supra vs sc300 what would you choose?
