If you could hand a list to lexus to build an SC based on anything you could dream and they could make it happen what attributes would you add to the SC that it doesn't have? We have had wish lists before, but we always stick within the realm of compatibility with them. This is a dreamers post of anything goes.

I'd like to see it have nitrogen shock suspension, an engine that has more torque than needed without boost so it always has instant grunt, high bolster seats with lumbar support, and full tiptronic paddle flap gearbox.

 

More engine and tranny options, like the most popular swaps nowadays:
2jzgte x v160
1jzgte x r154
1uzfe x manual

more factory tuned torque and hp
sleeker, less bulky, more sporty front seats

Other than those, anything else and it would be a totally different car IMO that none of us would probably fall in love with.

 

Blue tooth

 

The engine/transmission options listed above as well as a TRD warrantied supercharger kit for the 1uz that would have hood clearance. And obviously a v160 behind it. Maybe supra LSD B series differential.

 

5 or 6-speed manual trans available for the 1UZ
Factory LSD
Updated HID headlight and projectors (with corresponding clear lenses)
Heavy duty/upgraded center vent, lower and upper door panels
Upgraded head unit
Magnetic ride shock system with a more modern wheel/tire setup and ride height

 

-1JZ-GTE and 2JZ-GTE with R154 and V160 as factory option would be nice.
-1UZ with an R154 and more power stock.
-Better quality interior (the leather in older SC's doesn't hold up too well)
-Factory LSD
-Optional black headlight housings
-Sportier seat options
-More interior colors
-Factory HID's
-A factory V12 from the Toyota Century as an option
-Bigger trunk
-Stock Supra TT wheels instead of those goofy wheels the early SC's came with.
-Rear side windows that can roll down
-Rear windshield wiper
-More powerful stereo

 

Put the V160 transmission back into production so they don't cost $4,000 for a used one.

One thing that bugs me is the dual exhaust for the SC300. Its a straight six, one bank of cylinders, one exhaust pipe, kind of silly IMO to branch it off with dual tips. I know they did it because it "looks better" and to save tooling costs for having two different bumper covers(single exhaust for 300 cars, dual exhaust for 400 cars).

As for the interior, does anybody make a good looking a pillar gauge pod???, one that matches the factory tan or grey interior?

 

4k for a used v160 where? Duel exhaust looks more GT, why go single? looks like a less of a look to me, its a i6 so that is why it looks like that under the car, if it was a v6 then that is when you see it slit to the otherside, makes sense

 

Bring over all the japan goodies that the Soarer got ......no need to change it for US Market

 

Well maybe I was exaggerating, but the v160 is stupid expensive used or if you happen to luck into a NOS one still in the box its type of $$$$

^ Oh and its still very lame we didn't get the 1JZ-GTE from the Soarer as an option in the US. Same thing with the GS, JDM had the 2JZ-GTE as an option on that car.

 

500hp v8, gear driven cams, top of the line race suspension, comfortable race style interior, fat performance tires, supercharged, paddle shift 8speed manual tranny, on board diagnostics,navigation,top of the line sound system. Wow! I think I just.built a Ferrari. LOL. How about just a good middle class afordable SC for us not so rich car nuts.

 

400hp, 5 speed, 87 gas, and 30mpg please.

 

Not happening unless you swap in a GM/Chevy LS based motor and a T-56 6 speed manual. Those make great power and get great fuel economy with that very steep 6th gear overdrive in the transmission. 30+mpg on the highway is what you get in a Corvette, Camaro, or Trans Am with that combo.

 

5 speed sc300

 

Targa and or hardtop convertible option would of been cool.
