This thread is fun but a bit ridiculous, the title says Trade your SC, so it needs to be equivalent value..
Also when someone say I want a FD RX7 (or whatever) has the maintenance and potential work needed on such cars been considered carefully as well?
Realisticly if you sell your SC on Craigslist what could you have gotten, yes a 1999 Civic EX

hands down the RX7! I had mine for two years, she only was drivable for 5 months (3 pre-swap and 2 after LS1 swap) before some azzhat pushed me into a guard rail then fled the scene (the reason I got the SC). I simply spent two years building my dream car only to have it taken from me 57 days after passing inspection. It was a full chassis lift customization dealio that I did myself. 
I never even got to "play" in her, I just daily drove it to and from work while dialing in the details. I just wish I coulda raced it once or taken a turn a little too fast just once, but alas, I got one good burnout and that was after the accident and I went to jail for it

Adding RX7 FC Turbo and AE86 Hatch for the heck of it to my list as well and maybe a MK3 Supra with a GTE swap.
If I need 4 doors GS400 would be on the list
Come on guys lets hear some more, doesnt have to be stock for stock it can be modified or even for shells or trade plus cash

True about the Firebird Turbo Trans AM (same engine and transmission) but I have to correct you on 1985 GN/T-Types. They had the same SFI fuel injected turbo 3.8L V6 as 1986 and 1987 cars. 1985's were non-intercooled with different ECU tuning from the factory resulting in a 200hp rating.
The easiest thing is to look for a 1986 or, certainly, 1987 GN/T-Type since '87 had the best engine tuning from the factory.
Grand Nationals weren't standard turbocharged at all until 1985. Before that the same (non-intercooled and even lower rated) engine was an option.
The carbureted 3.8L turbo versions (again, same basic 3.8L engine block design) dated from 1978-1981 as an optional engine in the Regal series.

AAAAAND I have to correct you. The 1984 Grand National was the first year they were turbo'd. I had an '84 and was in the GN game for a while. You are correct that they were SFI though. The turbo'd GNs never came carb'd. There were Grand Nationals before 1984 but they were carb'd and non-turbo.

Joey, I've always loved the SVX but like the SC400 they never came with a manual transmission. I've heard of people swapping them to 5-speed and turbocharging (or swapping in an EJ20/25) but stock they're nice cruisers too. Built at the same time as the '91 Soarer, Mazda Cosmo 20B, R32 Skyline GT-S (T) and other luxury coupes of that era. And they look great IMO.
czar07, I like your list. I'd add the 288 GTO and Lancia Delta HF Integrale.

I think its just a cool 90s car that gets overlooked
