Default Differences between SC300 & SC400 ?

Hi all

I can see you guys are compiling an FAQ and that my question is listed, but, as the FAQ is not yet finished and I'm to impatient to wait, is anyone willing to answer my question now ?

What is the difference between a SC300 a SC400 and a SOARER ?

Thanks in advance !!

300 is just a 6 (manual or auto tranny) Yoo CAN make it into a turbo or twinn turbo. There are lots of threads about turbo conversions.

In Japan they offer a twinn turbo 6 but It was not offered here in the US.

no turbo version or turbo upgrades for the 400

Also, I believe the TT version was a 2.5L TT. Some Soarers were available with air shocks that can be "retuned" -- not our standard shocks. Soarers can be found in Australia, Europe, and Japan.

For US: SC300s have 3.0L straight-6 motors, whereas SC400 have 4.0L V-8s.
