No SC400's are stick from factory. The TT sc you are talking about is most likely a SC300 with a 2jz-gte w/6spd.

Yes, the black one you're referring to from LexusSC400.com is an SC300 5-speed with a GTE swap.

Wuts your latest high mileage log?

I'm at 155K and still going strong. Still looking to eclipse 300K. I don't use it as a daily driver anymore so it
should last a bit longer, and take a bit longer to get to 300K

How are the other high milers doing??
