Up to 1994 the SC400 have the bitchin 1UZ that takes best to boost among the V8s, but all UZ family are auto only. You can manual convert them, but it requires either a W or R series transmission (Mk III Supra among others) and an adapter bellhousing, driveshaft, etc - probably close to $1500 in total.

Other than that, the 300 and 400 are approximately the same - big comfy yachts with 200lb doors.

"the 300 shits and gets as well and handles slightly better due to less weight up front."
^^^
handling can be made up for with balls and power LOL.
