Keep the GT or buy a WRX?, whats your opinion? Options

[Dtuner17]

Ok i got my 97 GT with 174k miles and a slipping clutch, i eventually want a car
with a turbo and was planning on puting a turbo in the gt or swapping the engine
however i live in new england and everytime it snows i cant drive
nowhere because my car slides all over the road even with snow tires, this is why i also
want a AWD car but its more expensive and even more money to turbo it. I need
some opinions here, what do you guys think?

keep the GT and swap in a 3s....so much more power then a wrx and you'll have alot more fun with it....you can do 3s swaps for so cheap now a days its redicilous...plus yours is a gt so its a straight drop in..DO IT

a 3s does NOT have more power than a WRX.

Take it from a former WRX owner. I love my Celica but my WRX was my absolute favorite car ever. Say you get a 2002-2003 bugeye style for pretty cheap. Base power at about 227 hp. Turbo-back exhaust and a stage 2 ecu flash pushes that up to about 300 for under a thousand dollars if you play your cards right, makes the car a lot more fun to drive and is still very reliable/streetable. The cars are a total blast to drive, will go anywhere (and are good at mudding), are fast, have a ton of inexpensive aftermarket mods, and can even get great gas mileage if you go easy on it.

I totally say WRX. You could buy one and keep the Celica too for about what you would spend to do a 3s swap with enough mods to put out a WRX's power.
