Question about SC300 5 speed >>>>
properly driven is the SC300 faster or slower than a properly driven SC400 (92-95) both STOCK??? I have seen 0-60 times for both cars, but one of my older Autoweek magazines tested both and said that they got a 0-60 time for the SC300 of 7.0 secs and for the SC400 7.2 secs. I plan on purcahsing either a 5 speed sc300 or a 92-95 sc400 and putting on the regular simple mods such as intake, exhaust, etc. I know I will never ever put in a supercharger or turbo. So which one of the cars is faster properly driven stock and mildly modified equally ??? Not trying to start a flame war, just want opinions, facts, etc. to help me decide on which car. PS. I can drive very well with a 5 speed, been driving it since I was 16. I like auto too, especially when I am lazy so it does not really matter, just want which one is faster. Thanks for any info.

I think the SC400 is slightly faster than the SC300 5-speed stock for stock. But the difference really is negligible, the real question is which one will be more responsive to basic power upgrades...

they both respond the same
in the 1/4 i think the SC3 wins
i've never lost to a SC4 except Abutler's; and only after we past 110mph... i had two cars on him before that... and he had everything except a torque converter (including WR ECU)... in the 1/4 i would have had him
