Still can't drive it... Was watching what few videos there are of the SC400 and GS400, just isn't the same. Of course I rather have 100 hp with a manual than 300 hp with an automatic. Also of the two why is it the GS400 gets the shift buttons on the wheel and not the SC400, whatever Lexus. I wish I had $300 to throw away because then I could try an Exedy/Daikin o.e. replacement clutch for the Firebird to see if it's notably lighter on pedal effort.

Thats a question I can not answer on why lexus did that between the two. I have driven a manual swapped sc400 and it was amazing!! Its a completely different vehicle. I wish they came out of the factory that way. But my swap will be beginning soon which will be nice. Also to respond to the rarity of these cars. Anything with black interior has a leg up. I would love to get a 00 sc400 triple black, thats my unicorn. But I plan on boosting this Sc i have currently. 92-93 UZ'S love boost, and its non interface which I love.

Yeah, the '92-97 being non interference would be nice though at the expense of having the 4-speed auto instead of the 5. Though I do like the looks of the '95-96 the most, with the smooth front bumper and those years only tail lights. If I weren't so averted to an automatic it's definitely what I would get, but I just don't see an automatic as being remotely fun at all. And I know this because I drove my father's '96 Z28 that was an automatic, and the Firebird is at least 10 times more fun to drive.
I've been thinking about trying to drive the Firebird, but I've been afraid to try it and re-aggravate my knee. This post has been edited by Box: Oct 7, 2017 - 2:24 PM -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Still can't drive the Firebird, tried with the brace and it didn't do anything to help. This time my entire leg was shaking and quivering after trying. The tendons and ligaments throughout my leg are so tight my patella won't move, so there's the problem. I honestly don't know what to do anymore...

I have 11 cars total and I need to make room for 2 more additions I’ll be adding by the end of this month. I had my fun with it, I was bored of it becuase it was complete I couldn’t make it my own, my 47 plymonth is the perfect platform for what I wanna do over winter. Cars keep me sane, so does variety
