Greatness Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 whats everyones opinion on the better one cuz i have a choice right now and its really hard
Steady2001 Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 alot of people say the 300 cause its the supra motor, but i say 400 cause thats what i have and its fun as hell
JohnH Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 I've had my '95 SC300 5 Speed for 13 years now. Including tuneups.. I've spent less than $7k for service in that time. It is by far the most reliable car I've ever owned. (Ive had many cars in my 54 years) Plus.... The 26 MPG highway is a definite plus these days. It's not a screaming V8, but it gets past 60 in 2nd gear pretty quickly. My .02
grnsc40095 Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Greatness, Click on link and read the facts about the Sc 300/400, if you still can't decide on a model. Take the Sc that's in the best condition inside and out. http://www.intellexual.net/faq.html
JoshuaV Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 SC400! Just plain out better, Unless your going to swap, turbo and build it.. Then i'd go with a SC300 IMO
Clyde 1 Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Just put your foot deep into the right pedal...and the decision will be obvious.......4.0 rocks
lemaylexus Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 If I had to do it all over again I'd buy a 400. That's just because I'm not knowledgeable enough to do a engine swap and I just want a reliable ride that goes like stank. If you're the type to do tons of mods, the 300 is superior. But don't get me wrong, I love my 300 to death.
lexypam Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 You will not be sorry if you buy the SC300. I love mine. I sent you a picture. It is still in perfect shape. Fun to drive. I think it is the most beautiful car Lexus produced. Looking at them go down the road, or just to see mine in the garage is a good feeling. Of course the color makes a big difference.
Clyde 1 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Don't get me wrong.........I wouldn't mind finding a well kept 300 , it would be a great auto to have in the stable.......if its a straight up... one or the other kinda choice..........4.0 no doubt
tc32 Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 i agree with everybody else whose saying the 300 if your going to mod but the 400 if your not.
V8 Cat Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Greatness, Click on link and read the facts about the Sc 300/400, if you still can't decide on a model. Take the Sc that's in the best condition inside and out.http://www.intellexual.net/faq.html Go with the SC in the best condition you can find. You will be happy with either one I think. Some of the car magazines liked the SC300 more because it handled a little better since it was lighter. Also they liked the in-line six cylinder engine which was not too much slower than the V8. The top speed of both cars was over 140 MPh. You won't get the punch off the line with the 6 cylinder that you will with the V8 - that's about the only downside of the SC300. If you were buying a brand new one I and money was no object (the v8 was about $7500 more new) I might go with the SC400. Buying used to me it's a no -brainer - GET THE SC IN THE BEST CONDITION.
DoeMarie Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 i agree with everybody else whose saying the 300 if your going to mod but the 400 if your not. I have a 93 400sc and I love it and it's been a great car. Don't know much about the 300's but I have no regrets having the 400.
LEX_MAN Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 SC300 Easier to work on the engine and boost galore ;)
UCF3 Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 don't know, but I think is all about age. I-6 is more of the tuning car for younger people. V8 is more for people who have moved into a profession or family, and would prefer to have power but need to be more relaxed. If you have to make a single car decision, then I would select the SC4. Luckily I don't which is why I have three
