Default newb question? 5spd Sportcross?

All:

So I have a 820whp Supra, and frankly I'm getting a bit old for it - so I've been contemplating either a GS or IS with a good GTE swap - that way I can have my cake, eat it to, and have a comfortable car to boot. However what I REALLY want is to find a 5spd sportcross, to do the swap in... does such a thing exist? Every vehicle I find for sale has an auto - Of course there are plenty of 5spd IS300s, but I haven't seen a single sport cross?

I mean the reality of it is I'd probably use the V160/161 long term anyway so I'm not sure it matters, but definitely makes things easier if the donor car is already a standard trans.

Negative, the USDM Sportcross only comes as an auto. =(
