plans for new car need some help.!

You keep saying get the 240 for RWD.. i'm pretty sure the SC300 is rwd too. I know the sc400 is, and the sc300 has a longitudally mounted inline six, which would be extraordinarily hard to make it FWD. Lexus would be flat out stupid to make it FWD with that engine positioning/chassis.
And yes, I think you should get the SC300. Hell, after doin some research on it for this thread, I want one now!
Look at these pics, I think they'll convince you:

Be sure to check out the second page with the engine pics.
Specifically, this one:

I think they're dead sexy, and I don't like many Japanese cars.

I say go with the SC. And about turboing the 2JZ-GE, just go to IS300 fourms or mkiv supra forums, I'm sure there are plenty of people who have modded the 2JZs.

0oo man those are the most sexy cars i ever seen.. so beautiful but so fast looking omfg, i think im in love, who ever said sc300 were not as good looking as a 240 was wrong.. o0o man these pic make me wana slap my mama. i thinking more and more the lex is worth the investment, but the damm poll says different..
thanks for the pic btw,

The poll is just everyone's all spoogey over the 240sx(and rightfully so), but I mean.. the lex would be a damn pimp car(sorry datsun boys, but you'd get far more ladies with the lex), and you've got a proven 3.0 inline (supra!) motor already in it with plenty of aftermarket support. I know I've seen some rediculously powerful supras... Both are RWD. The only negative in my mind about the lex is their kinda tough to find in manual, but I'm sure there are plenty of strong trans that'll bolt in place of the auto, since most supras have manuals.

sc300 is a nice looking car in my views but dont get me worng some 240sx are bad ass like the one that tat posted up.. man why does decisions have to be this hard,
also i was reading a expence sheet of what this guy did on turboing his sc300 (angles sc300) o0o man i think i was gona die with the price he came up with..

check it out, its kinda discouraging.. but in the end i think its worth it, if i do this project it will be long and hard and difficuly but worth it in the end..

You need to MAKE your parents understand that the non-turbo and turbo models are completely different cars. The same basic body, that's it.

Us DSM'ers just dont give up, huh?

But seriously, they're night and day apart.

id say get the 240, its alot cheaper, tons of parts, and you'll have tons of fun in these cars!!!

[drftk1d]

if your dad doenst like mitsu get a talon :P

i say sc300, but i saw the poll and didnt notice it was a s14 240.

oh and on a side note i've never seen tat's car in my travels.

[turbo2nr]

drft1d do you visit nyc alot? if you do maybe one day me you and tat can meet up, tats car is great, fast, good looking, nimble, and lots of fun and the boost is great when the car is running good, he is the one that really got me into the 240sx thing, his car is nice kinda makes me wana do a 240 so i can rival him.. lol ill get a black s-14 and he has a white.. lol

i doubt he will ever see my car if hes not from teh city. unless he goes to the tri state 240 meetings, then he might've seen my car, i will not describe how my car looks, but i'll just tell you this, it stands out alot. not because flashy though, i have no big wing, no stickers etc. the car just stands out in general.
