Default sc300 handling capabiltys?

I heard that the sc300 runs on the same chassis as the supra and I know supra sway bars, suspention, etc will bolt on to an sc300, but its wheel base is 105.9" and the supra wheelbase is 100.4". Is length the only difference? Will the sc300 perform exellent with an upgraded suspention on a track? Will it handle like a supra?

To simplify it out for you; with money, anything is possible.

I don't know about outhandling a supra, but with tt sway bars, Eibachs, Tokicos and 245 Victoracers on 8" supra tt rims, I would say it handles excelent. I've received a lot of complements on how the car handles twisties and holds the road in carousels. On the other hand, it accelerates like a pig, especially uphill (at Road America).

That said, after I relearn how to drive the car after going NA-T (BL kit, PT61 325-425 rwhp) this year I will upgrade to Titan adjustable bars and Tien Flex coilovers next year. I selected the Flex because I can get springs to keep the front rear balance as it is currently with the Eibachs
