SC300 would be my choice since most people think 400 is better because of the number and it has a V8, but the 300 has a lot of potential, only thing is good luck finding a stick they made them but very few had them. IMO the SC is much more sporty than the IS and as before you get the 2JZ in it. I just checked autotrade and found 159 SC300's for less than 10,000 and 1 IS for less than 10,000 and it's an '01 salvage car. it's up to you an IS is more functional due to it having 4 doors. My secretary is from Port LIncoln, Australia and she was telling me it's about $3,000-$5,000 shipping and in NC it's a couple thousand to get it legalized (NC bases a lot of their emissions standards off of Cali) and you can get an Altezza RS200 with a 6 speed from Australia for less than $15,000USD and be one of the few people in the US with a real Altezza. Check this one out, remember the price is NZD: http://www.autopoint.co.nz/DesktopDefault....ias=autopointnz
