I have a 92 sc300 as a daily right now, honestly i hate the way it handles in terms of a RWD sports coupe. but as a luxury car its nice, and refined. The economy could be better, but im not that concerned with it as much as i am with the rx7. The auto-transmissions on these cars suck balls btw, and i am indecisive if i want to spend the time and money on converting the car to manual or just selling it right out for a manual SC. There arn't many aero options that make the car look good, and sometimes just dropping the car on nice wheels tends to be overly done among the owners. From a tuning aspect, its kind of a hit or miss. One thing i absolutely hate about the car is the weight, even the doors them-self enough to wear out the hinges after a few short uses. And im not about to spend $1700-2000+ for quality carbon doors, and opt for a side bar for added side impact protection. The only thing i can think of to offset all the crap and lack of this car has is going for the 1jz or 2jz-GTE for that added power to pull the weight of the SC, and upgrading the breaking of the car, those small 1 pistons done do very well to stop the heavy load. the SupraTT front and rear brakes and diff swap right in with very small modifications. Look into it.
