Celica question, GT vs GT vs GT-S Options

[SuperCharged]

Hey everyone...I get my license in less than 2 months and I'm car searching at the moment. I have been looking at Celicas for the past two months or so, and I think they are a pretty good canidate for a first car considering what I'm looking for. Anyway, my question to you all is which Celica do you all think is best? The 6th gen. Celica GT has 135 HP and 145 lb-ft of torque, and the current Celica GT has 140 HP and 125 lb-ft of torque and the GT-S has 180 HP and 130 lb-ft of torque. I know the GT-S has the obvious torque advantage, but of those three which do you think is going to be the best to live with, most fun to drive, ect? All three are good handling, fun to drive cars which is what I am looking for, and the price is about the same give or take $6K.
Thanks

The 7G Celica GT-S the 2ZZ-GE Engine. It is rated at 180HP at the flywheel. The 2ZZ-GE and the 1ZZ-FE found in the GT and GT-S Celica models are the latest 4-cylinder engines offered by Toyota. They are all-aluminum 1800CC (1.8 litre) 16-valve engines with VCT.

History:

The 1ZZ-FE was introduced in late 1988
The 2ZZ-GE was introduced in 2000 (on the Celica GT-S)

The 1ZZ-FE and 2ZZ-GE has different bore and stroke. The 1ZZ-FE (Celica GT) has more response due to the higher low end torque.
The 2ZZ-GE was designed with a "G" or "sports" head. It is interesting to note that the extra 50 H.P. will not come into play untill AFTER 6000RPMs. So if you are looking into an automatic model...you must be shifting the "sport shifters" to get the extra 50HP above 6000RPM or your car will accelerate jsut the same (or a bit slower) than Celica GT. Also the Celica GT-S has a High Compression ratio..if you thinking of custom turbo..etc....well you could figure it out lol im lazy...

The Celica GT has the 1ZZ-FE which is smooth to drive with enough low end power to get you going. The Celica GT-S takes more effort but having more power.

The 6G Celica GT has the 5S-FE engine with a manual or automatic there is enough torque to get you off the line but feels "slower" at higher end. If you DO NOT live in California you could swap in a more powerful 3S-GTE engine later on (if you want to deal with this/have enough money/parents will let you shell out that much/ etc etc) BUT if you live in California it is only street legal to swap in the 3S-GTE in the 94-96 Celica's.

ALL are good cars. I own a 6G Celica GT. My aunt has a 7G GT and my cousin has a 7G GT-S. they are all good cars. IMHO stock I really liked the Celica GT and GT-S interior amenities. I did not like the back seat area (like other cars).

BUT there are people who just have to have the best. Their thinking is "oohhh I could get this car and just do this later" when the reality is that you may not have enough money or be a hassle. If you want a "low cost" performance car then go for the Celica GT. Its capable of the remarkable 3S-GTE and etc. If you care nothing for performance or just want to look good to girls or appeal to guys or iono someting then the Celica GT is the one for you. If you want a high rpm scremer that you like the way it is then get the Celica GT-S. Its all based on what you want. If you want the most power overtime...6G Celica GT with 3S-GTE. But thats just my opinion...i'm tired...i'm at school...and I might have some (or alot) of errors..blah blah blah im stupid...oh yea you know why Chikens look up all the time? they are asking god "when will I urinate" have you ever seen a chiken pee? well have you?!?!"

btw: yes a Chicken with a 3S-GTE is pretty fast.
