Default newb here considering sc400

I just totaled my 99 v6 accord show car and am looking a for a rear wheel drive car that has potintial. I just wanted to know if the tranny is good on these cars for one because i droped 5gs in a tranny for the accord that would handle 500hp. I am going off to college next year so i want a car i wont have problems with i would really like a 98-00 400 but i might get an earlyer model. I plan on 19x9.5" wheel son the back and 19x8.5 and a lowering job to beggin. Just let me know you input guys i would really like to here info from owners before i buy one of these beasts. Thanks Matt

Sorry, I was in a hurry as i usually am working 3 jobs. Anyway i did some searching before i posted and just wanted to here owners opinions. Trying to figure out if ill be happy with the car off the bat do to my accord putting down 300whp anyway. It looks like chargers are in the works for the 92 to 97 models but not the 98 through 00. Now do gs400 engine parts work on the 98-00?

I believe only the LS parts work.

If you want to keep your engine relatively stock get a SC400. If you want your car to be a monstrous beast then get a SC300 and strap on all the Supra parts you can afford.
