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?

yeah, i want you to have the most amount of fun possible with the car, trust me, i'm not trying to dissuade you from buying it.
i really want a 7th gen too. the *whole* selling point of the GT-S is that after about 5k rpm or so, it changes the cam profile slightly, and the engine winds up faster to redline. that's how it makes the extra 50hp or so. it's like the toyota version of v-tec from honda. when you get it, make sure they check the 'lift bolts' for wear & tear, if they're broken or bent you won't be hitting lift. sadly i know more about the 2000+ celica's than i do about the 6th gens, and i dont even own one  good luck with the car though, it's nice. |

I agree with these other people.... buying an auto GT-S is like throwing your money away. Why pay for all that extra technology and power when the transmission can't even access it?
