They all had the cool smooth nose... the 97-00 just had that lame grill insert, thats all.

92's the best btw. Cuz I said so, and I have one.

That's an easy question. A last run 2000, it IS the pinnacale of all SC's.

Just realize, they are hard to find and pricey.

Correct. Only the people who don't have one will say no. It ended it's life in perfect form.

I would have to disagree.... 92 is still the best year.

And thats because I do not have a 2000.

I'd say any of the 1998-2000 for the V8 SC400. More power, more gears in the transmission, really transformed how the car drove, its a lot faster. Finding one is the hard part, for those three years they made very few of them, 5 speed SC300's are less rare than 1998-00 SC400's.

well i mean you're comparing 3 years of SC400 against 6 years of SC300 production so yeah there are going to be more 5-speed SC300's. but it's true, 98+ SC400's are pretty hard to come by
