^ I didn't think there were any drivetrain changes from 98-2k. What changes?

My bad, i meant to say get the 98-00 instead of the 97. 97 still had 4spd auto.

No, the 98+SC400 VVTi has 290hp. The SC300 VVTi has 225hp. My butt dyno can certainly feel the difference

i could see you waiting for a 99+ but the difference between the 97 and 98 are negligeble

So the addition of VVTi and a 5 speed trans are negligeable? That's the biggest change the SC400 ever got in it's production.

Huge difference, wait for it. Good things come to those who wait.

Maybe he meant 98 and 99. Makes more sense
