Most Desirable Year For The SC?

[SPRUCE SC300]

Just thought it would be fun to get a poll going. I personally like the 97-2000, but would prefer the 95-96 taillights on the 97-2k model.

I am definitely in favor of the 95-96.

These SCs have some improved features from the previous years and do not yet have VVT-i which I think is a joke.

But that's just me.

What's wrong with the VVT-I engine?

[SPRUCE SC300]

HUMM <_<

What's wrong with VVT-i

[SPORTcoupe300]

Alright.

After doing a lot of reading on the VVT/VTEC systems, I'm going to have to take back what I said about VVT-i

The only reason I said it in the first place is because a friend of mine tried some cams on his SC and ended up breaking some stuff.

I guess it was his mistake.

Either way, VVT now seems to me a great improvement to the engine and now I just wonder why it hadn't been done decades ealier.

I'd have to say 95 is best. They made the corner lights turn into fog lights. The front center intake bumper is painted black. All the kinks are probably ironed out. Computer is still OBD 1.

I don't understand why the Is300 with its 2jz-ge engine has 215 hp and 218 ft-lbs torque. Even with its VVT-I it's not as high as the sc's 220-225 hp range. Well it's probably true that the vvti engine has less emissions and maybe a broader torque range, but where's the hp?

[SPRUCE SC300]

You’ve made a valid point about the horsepower, but the is still has a better 0-60 and ¼ mile.

I hear that 95' SC300s are the best for the 2jz-gTe swap because it has more room (less work trimming stuff = less time = cheaper swaps).
