I love the old Z32 300zx. I never considered buying one until after I got my SC. I prefer the SC over the 300zx because 300zx's are hard to work on and I like the way the SC looks a little bit more.

lol prices are still steep, and your car sleeper as long as you stay out of boost that thing sounds sick

I have a thing for egg shaped cars (see my sig, the 73 sr5 had an oval shaped body, hence mango). In my world, if it's round and has two doors it's sexy

It was a graduation gift. My uncle bought it new back in 93. Put 20s on it. Beat the s*** out of it. Let it sit for a couple years. And finally gave it to me. I got big dreams for it but little cash to make them plans.

i will never forget the first time i noticed the sc. i was about 18 and working in an oil change shop. this guy brings one in and when i got in and closed the door the steering wheel dropped down and i almost soiled my undies. the guy was standing there with this grin like he knew his ride was pure class. i never imagined being able to afford 1 until last year when i realized how cheap late model imports were getting. i set my mind on getting 1 and now it sits in my drive proudly. and the auto tilt steering broke a week after i got it. lol. i love it tilt or not. i followed the thread here to fix the gear skipping teeth. but alas the auto tilt ecu is deadskie. keeping an eye out for 1 then it should work.

wanted something different from the hondas and nissans in my neighborhood. there are a few nice ones here, but the majority are literally pos civics and s13s. i wanted something clean, affordable, and had potential for power.

I fell in love with Solaras for some reason. And during some poor google search, i ended up getting results for a Soarer. Researched it, found out that the fabled Supra was designed from it, and it was happily ever after.

Well after being the owner of this beauty:


The center consoles messed up because I was running wires under it.

I never thought I could love another, until I laid eyes on an SC and well I just couldn't help my self I cheated on my 88 Chrysler Conquest TSI with an 95 SC400 and my TSI committed suicide:

"Shameless plug" But seriously The SC is on of the best cars I've ever owned. It gives me the best of both worlds luxury and sport! Not to mention dependability.....
