5spd for sure. They're getting rarer by the day.

Really? Kind of hard to forget ScottURNot's car or a few of the other boosted 1UZ's around here...

You say you wanna go "wild." Why not just buy a sc400 for dd and go wild on the 300 you already have?

As I said.. It's a manual (rare) Factory not a mod.. And it's a White Girl... Her butt aint that fat Yet... but wit some 19's and dropped just right WOW!!! My other SC is a Black Girl.. salvage title so i use it as a DD paid 1500... yeah I could go wild wit the BG but I have my eye on a SC4. I thouht about going 400 but the super charger seems expensive.
what's easier a NA to turbo or SC4 CHARGED?

If you want to go wild, its always sweet to see a sick blown 1UZ with a 5 speed swap. Its not that...hard to find a 5 speed 300 or swap one on those. 1UZ FTW!!!

I test drove a 92 sc400 and was really not impressed at all. The auto felt really weak, almost slippery and the power difference was barely noticeble over an auto sc300.
