I think my sigpic says it all. I have to say, I found this thread totally by accident on a google search, but it's really comical to see all the animosity SC and Supra owners show to each other.

FWIW, I drove an SC300 for a month or so. I also drove an NA Supra. They were both slow and gutless after driving the TT (especially since I've only owned hardtop TTs - since 1994).

can i pick both? I love my SC, the style, comfort, and subtle design and it being a sleeper is perfect...but at the same time, if I could get my hands on a TT Supra at the cost of giving up my SC, I would take it...but I would have to get another SC later on..

The sc is the better more luxurious car but if you want to be the man you get the supra

If I had money, I'd get a supra. Everything is just "that much more" expensive when modding a Supra.

What parts are you thinking about that are that much more expensive? They mostly use the same parts for modifications of the power train as far as I recall....

The Supra is a classic and maybe the best consumer car Toyota ever made. Wouldn't we all kill to have Toyota make another car like this? TT with that 6-spd? Good lord! If they started selling them this year for $45k I'd be standing in line. I love my SC but would dump it in a heartbeat if somebody gave me a similar condition TT.

I agree -- they did some of their -- and the industry's -- best work on the 4th gen Supra. There are a number of people who presently own and/or have owned a variety of high-end cars along with the Supra, and say that their opinion is that there has never been a better all-around platform.

best combo

sc300 + 2jzgte + 6sp = heart of a supra, comfort of lexus

I never liked the looks of a supra... kinda frog looking requires some body mods to look SICK. and interior didnt impress me either. Only thing is sick is the MOTOR N TRANNY! =P

One is the definitive Japanese muscle car (at least aside from the R34 Skyline GTR) and the other is a nice little niche cruiser.

I'd trade 3 mint SC's for 1 mint supra. Probably 5 mint SC's.

Supras with 60-70k miles in great shape go for like 20-30k.

at the end of my day i want my SC maybe its because i keep it sparkly clean and also im happy with the motor it came with and not aiming for GIGANTIC BIG HORSEPOWER NUMBERS. Both the Supra and SC and are capable of the same power acheivments so id say it comes down to looks...i like the SC looks much more
