    If they ever sold an SC300 Twin Turbo in the US then it would be that by far. The GS430 is pretty pimp though.

    Nope. The SC300 uses the N/A supra motor. The Supra TT engine/drivetrain is an easy swap into the SC300 though.

    but, they did have a soarer TT in japan (SC300, with the supra TT motor)

    also, they have a current Aristo turbo i believe.



    I'd hafta go with a current GS430


    btw, u've got LS430 listed twice. where's the GX470 and LX470?

    The NA Supra engine, is it the same as the TT engine only not TT or are there other differences? My point being, if I take the NA motor and turbo/TT it would it be like having a TT Supra motor?

    no, it's weaker, different oil pan, there's really small differences, but generally the NA is said to be able to handle 600hp stock, while the TT can take over 1khp stock

    A lot of people really like the IS300. I love it too. I drove it a year ago and when I floored the car off the line, it literally roared and jumped pining me against the back of the seat. I thought I was going to have a stroke at the age of 26. I have never felt so much torque in my life. But, I still get turned off when I see how much this car gets dissed. It does not get it's due credit. If you look at Honda sites or BMW sites, they really trash this car. It is a big laughing stock for them. Everyone and his brother with a Civic and a CRX is harping about how he smoked the shit out of an IS300. Some of them claim it is slower than a Corolla with a quarter mile of 17 secs, which is completely untrue. As far as I am concerned, I love it.
