Sc300 vs 400
#31
IMO, if you really love and appreciate the Lexus SC then you should avoid aftermarket modding which in all likelyhood will reduce the reliability of your SC in the long run, besides maintenance on this car is expensive enough. That being said, be patient and get the best peforming Sc with the latest technology for this Lexus model, which would be the 98-00 SC 400. I currently have a 98 SC400, which I've had for almost 3 years and absolutely love it more than any other car I've ever had, including the 92 sc 300 I owned previously, and that car started my love affair with the SC.
To be honest with you modding a car that will not be used for track or show purposes or is absolutely senseless and a big waste of money. Especially in this economy it doesn't make sense to waste money on a car for only mere bragging rights.
Get a 98-00 SC 400
..and keep and factory maintained.

OT: Have you driven a Vishnu 135i yet? Impressive, but not worth the price, IMHO.
Turbos are the greatest invention known to man. Just having a juvenile badabing moment to feed the sibling rivalry. Being in my 3rd Lexus and 1st SC, I can't believe it took so long to get into a platform that can be fully appreciated. All joking aside, having owned a CLK from the target competition in the past, Toyota really hit the mark. Will be keeping this car greater than a year and setting a personal best.

I was comparing price in order to illustrate that the SC is a better buy. Weight doesn't matter because the you can always put the SC on a diet

Ryeno- you said a plastic piece of Emblem, when placed on an airbag cover, Might penetrate a skull and kill you in a crash, therefore its better not to run an airbag if you want an emblem on yor wheel That sounds like "False Information" to me...

Separately, the SC is longer than the Supra so again, what is your statement supposed to illustrate. Based on what you've stated, the SC is a better chassis in that regard as well.

wrong thread for this but its a possibility. An airbag deploys at about 200mph, thats a ton of force.
But i was talking about a possibility. You said the sc and supra chassis are a difference of 400lbs. Now that's a fact, something that can easily be proven. And your fact is wrong.

SC300-3655 lbs(http://www.planetlexus.com/lexus-sc3...00-sc400a.html)
436lbs difference Ryeno. Are you happy now?

Thats not the point, your logic regarding the question you were answering in the first place is 100% wrong. Now that you've been called out you change the subject. If you don't have a legitimate argument don't attempt to debate with me because you will lose like so.
P.S. No I don't have the money because I'm a college student at UGA working on my MBA so when I graduate next May I'll have plenty of money to boost 5 95 SC400's smart guy.
