Sold the GS for the SC because the SC has way more potential for modding/enjoyment then the GS did, as nice as the GS was i was all too often faced with having to either mod stuff or rely on others to make something rather then just buy it off the shelf. Espicially when having to wait for parts from overseas and no real engine stuff available for the 400 either (the headers were just released and not of the greatest quality either)

Gas was a factor too, i was getting around 17-18 mpg inthe GS, now i'm right around 24-26 mpg in the SC. Not much but i'm happy.

I'm piecing together a reliable turbo kit for it now and keeping it around 280ish whp. Should be enough to have some fun for now and then maybe in the fall, swap engines with a 98 2jzgte and have it nice and legal.

as asnwered above, the 99+ SC's came with the three spoke wheels, which i'll be swapping out asap.

Those cars are sweet. There is a guy sellingone in Atlanta right now that has a 5 speed. I would hop on it for a second car if it were not so pricey....
