First saw this car featured in the 1991 July edition of Road&Track while sitting at a dental clinic. I was 18, a freshman in college driving a beat up Corolla needing a root canal. Dentist passing by saw my jaw drop open and told me to keep it that way later when it's my turn. A sleek 250hp V8 coupe that rocked 16" rims, a premium Nakamichi sound system that came with an optional 12in cd changer, does 0-60 in 6.7secs-I told myself I'll own one someday. 15 yrs later I bought my neighbor's '93. Bulletproof 1UZFE motor. Turnkey car that's buttery smooth in stock form but has potential to become a wild animal whenever mated either simply collectors/headers along with hollow cats on a full NA build - I couldn't get enough of the exhaust pulses through the headers it emits, really awesome! I've done almost everything to it (except FI, sadly it's too much $$$), but I've converted it's only factory option 'auto'slushbox into a 5spd manual (sourced an SC300's trans + drive shaft, mated it to an aftermarket bellhousing), tuner parts -- big win lip, 5zigen exhaust tips, mandrel bends, repainted to paint code Lexus 3R7, Bilstein shocks, H&R sport springs, lowered it to a credit card fender gap-because -moar-low-on-stretched-tire-you name it..After all these years (17), it's time to retire it (just purchased an Audi RS3). However, as much fun I know I will be having with the RS3, I'm still keeping the SC -- after all, the SC's got the RS3 by having that one more extra pedal ---the new universal symbol of 'OG car enthusiast approved'.

One of the best cars I've ever owned hands down!
Believe it or not I found a '95 SC 400 in a parking of a electrical shop,"alternators, starters, etc....I bought and had been driven hard. I paid $800 for it and it for 5 years, parked in the winter and every spring just opened the door reached in and turned the key and it was running. I drove the car hard until I let a friend drive home one night, it had some electrical issues the radio didn't work and I didn't care. Well my x-friend decided to tear it apart and that was the end of but hands down one of the funnest, coolest cars I've ever had and I've had 100's.

great stylish ride
One of my favorite cars. Lexus was on top with this one. Apparently the design was so good they didn't change it for another 20 years.
