hi, my names Erich, im 17 and i cant choose between buying a 6 G celica or a mustang..either '89-'93 GT or '99-'04 GT. im kinda stuck..ive always wanted a mustang..but the celicas are really appealing to me now. i would want either of the cars to go fast..but i would want to work on it my own..and build it to be fast..which models should i be looking at?.i have roughly for a spending limit. i want a maual tranny too. i'll take ANY suggestions!..thanks.

Mustang GT for:
Power, Aftermarket...

Celica for:
Reliability, fuel economy, looks, rareness

I am talking stock for stock. You can always slap a turbo on the Celica or swap a better engine and be faster, but it'll take a lot of money. The Mustang will be faster and easier to mod in terms of aftermarket parts, but it's not as reliable, it burns more gas, and it's more common. I am not biased, but since I've owned both cars, hands down...I'd pick the Celica. smile.gif

Having owned a fox body mustang ( 91 ), and now a celica GT ( 99 ), the celica is hands down a more fun car to drive. The newer mustangs are pretty nice, but I'd still take my celica over one, personally. As stated, mustangs are commonplace, celicas not so much. I've seen three since ive bought my car a few weeks ago, and ive been looking.
