Toyota Soarer (Lexus SC) was produced in Japan between 1991 and 2000 and  designed foremost as a luxury car being a total success. Build quality is superb, trim levels are up to the standards of Euro cars and it bristles with innovation. It delivers effortless performance and is one of the most comfortable vehicles on our roads. Many those cars were exported to the USA and re-badged as Lexus SC400 for V8 models and Lexus SC300 for V6 models. The Twin Turbo model was not exported to the United States and was only available in Japan. The Lexus SC400, SC300 and the Twin Turbo models have since been replaced in 2001 by the Lexus SC430, which has is a similar coupe concept, only convertible and much smaller.

I have now owned my SC400 GT-Limited 95 for three years and I still appreciate this car more and more than the day I have bought it. This amazing classic car has about 90k and is still absolutely trouble free and very reliable, fun to drive car I've ever owned. My car has received high flow intake and exhaust system upgrades, which brought to me about 18 hp more. Original 16' whiles wore replaced by chrome 17' Rims with Nitto high performance ZR tiers. I have also modified my stereo system to gain total of 300 Watts RMS. output. The tail lights and the corner lights wore customized to have a cool look at night. My V8 is running on Mobil-1 fully syntactic  motor oil 10W-30 with by-pass high filter efficiency Amsoil filter. Never before have I driven a V8 that revved so freely; punters can approach the 6500rpm limit almost unknowingly. Getting the automatic transmission to kick-down is the key to making the 1680-odd kg (3700 pound) Soarer rapid. Cruising at a constant 80km/h, drivers can push the accelerator to the floor and wonder where the grunt is. But mash it quickly down and the engine leaps to its peak-torque revs and the car really burns along. I felt in love with this car so much that I will keep this beauty until it literally falls apart. There are many SC lovers like me around the world. The example would be Lexus owners club in UK and  Japan. All of them have a communication board, annual SC meetings and other cool annual events. Unfortunately, there is no place like it  in the United States and therefore I decided to create the soarer meetings board in Tri-State aria on my own, so all of you SC lovers in NY, NY and PA will get along for a nice ride one of  those sunny days.
