I'd take an SC over a Supra. I know the Supras are much better overall for performance (better handling, lighter weight, stock turbo, etc), but that's all it is, 100% performance 100% of the time; there's little compromise. When you really look at it hard, the Supra is actually quite ugly and ricey. An SC on the other hands shows much more class and style. It looks sexy on the outside and feels much more luxurious on the inside. Personally the Supra's interior looks like the same boat as the Celica or the Eclipse, which scores big yuck points in my book.

Dont get me wrong, I think the Supras are really cool cars, but the most I could see doing with it is drag racing and showing off at car shows, not driving it daily. I mean, when you really think about it would you want to pull up to your girlfriend's house in a Toyota Supra or a Lexus SC? An SC is dressed to impress, so it wins for me hands down.

if your going to make your supra kinda like how orido's street car looks then i say supra. alot of times i see supras but the looks just dont flow for some reason. thats just my opinion.

i used to think both cars were the same but there are small differences like the length of the car and the gas tank position

Hi guys, I am new here, and my vote goes to sc, just because I had a supra before and just wanted something a lil cooler and not played out, with more luxury features like sexy body lines of sc.

Depends. I'd rather have a TT late year Supra, but if it came down to a NA MKIV vs. a SC300, I'd take the SC300, because it's way cheaper, and you can dump all that money you'd save into the SC and beat TT MKIVs

I'd take a stock 6-speed TT Supra in nice condition over ANY SC300/400 out there no matter what it had done to it... Supras are going to be much more of a collectors car in the future. Then again... I could buy the Supra and pick up a beat SC for like $2,000
