I'm not sure if i'm going to keep my 6th gen or sell it but I am going to buy a 7th gen. The one i'm looking at is carbon blue (looks black). Its a 2001 GTS auto/manual. Sorry, what ever you say im not going to get a manual. leather-sunroof-side bags-alloys-60k mi. I have it on hold right now. Price is 12399 from dealership. The 6th gen I have needs work and is too old and weak. May keep it around for the hell of it or may post it to sell on here. Any comments? What do you think of carbon blue/near black color? Any suggestions on what to mod?

if you aren't getting a manual, then you shouldn't bother getting a GT-S.
lift occurs at a certain rev point, an automatic won't be able to keep the rev's high enough to stay in lift through the gears, so it will be a small difference between yours and a manual GT. i've done my homework on this, check out newcelica.org and you'll realize what a difference having a 6 speed means with the GT-S. not trying to knock your purchase, but you are short changing yourself if you go with the automatic. the beauty of VVTL-i is being able to stay in lift after shifts, and downshifting in to lift to take off.
