Have you decided on what your going to do for wheels? Just import a VVTi Chaser already, and be Mr. VIP.

So that means that there was only 56 people in the USA in 1997 that liked that color?

Did RSPs ever have black interior from the factory? I've seen pics, but never in real life... I figure maybe it was converted. I really like RSP, but I dislike tan interior equally as much

There is one for sale with 2JZGTE pushing 800+ HP over SF forum. It was owned by one of our CL member before he blew the motor.... that thing is a beast!!!
I think is going for 55K, I wish I had that money to get it...

Yes it did come with factory black interior. DaShizt, a member here on CL bought a 97 RSP with Black Interior and 5 speed (...and only 27k miles) Talk about a rare one. Seeing as they only made about 200 97's with 5 speeds, there were probably only a handful (if that) that were RSP w/ black interior.

I like the RSP...not on the SC though...on a Supra...hell yea
I just think its the wrong car for the color. I like it for the rarity if anything.
All the RSP's that I've seen on here have been nice cars.....but

I rather have this guys color over the RSP


As always IMO

I used to think that but it all depends what you do with the car... of course if you go VIP style, RSP looks pretty out of place, but if you go with a sportier style and get the right wheels/etc., RSP looks good
