Basically, you got a Supra engine in a GS300 body!

There are a few floating about with manual boxes although I'm not sure if they came from the factory like that. I was looking for one a few years ago but couldn't find a manual over here for sale and didn't want to import one myself.

Love the idea of a sober suited Lexus that's as tunable as a Supra

To be strictly accurate, the Supra is an Aristo engine and a Soarer chassis.

I had one for 3 years. She had a 1/4 million miles on her when it finally gave it to the relentless abuse I gave her. Great great car, but I was only getting 12 mpg around the town, and she needed a full front end rebuild every 3 years on Irish roads as I had it done and it was wearing out again when she expired. I got 174 mph out of her one day, as I had a PROPER de-restricter for her, the 16 wire one.

Never again though, 12 mpg killed my wallet in a bad way. I'm getting 22 mpg from the SC430 now and it's 90% as fast in everyday situations.
