Well I want a GSX cuz I'm sucka for AWD Turbo coupes but I've always like the 6th gen celica as well but from a performance point of view it seemed like the the GSX was the obvious choice until I found out about the GT-Four that never made it to the states. So which do you think is better and why? There's a GSX running 6.97 in the quarter mile so what do you guys think?

you can mod a 3sgte just as easily as you can mod a dsm or any other turbo car. exhaust, boost controller, ecu, fmic, upgraded turbo... its the same sequence in any turbo car. More boost=go faster. Its just cheaper to do it to a dsm due to cheaper parts. Why is this? Oh yes, greater supply of parts due to greater demand, due to dsm parts breaking all the time. I have worked on my share of 4g63's in the past, and every time all i see is failure due to poorly built parts. The thing i love about dsm's is how you can take a $1000 first gen and make it run 12's for under $5k if you do the work yourself. The thing I love about my st165, is not needing to work on it at least once a week, even while being relentlessly abusive to it. And how my car's chassis was designed for motorsports, not just with the thought of "how cheap can we build a turbo 4cyl car that will sell and go fast". The tactic Dodge and mitsu have paired together to accomplish since 1989, until the curent srt4. What do srt4's and dsm have in common? Mitsu turbo technology, a poorly built intereor body and chassis
