At a crossroads with my 6GC. Options

[Fastbird]

Unfortunately, I'm not so sure I'm going to be keeping my 99 GT for more than a few more months. I've only had it since July and LOVE the car, but there's a couple little nuances about it that just get me. Mainly, and don't take this the wrong way people, with how flipping slow it is. Drives me insane. I love how it drives and looks, but the complete lack of power is killing me.

What started this you ask?? Money........or rather the fact that we're doing very well right now and I've recently come to the realization that I can afford something I've always wanted. Unfortunately, that means getting rid of the Celica as there's no reason for 5 cars.

It's not set in stone yet, but just a few days ago I took the other car for a test drive and absolutely fell in love. More to come, and if it does happen it's going to be a few months down the road still, probably around late spring to even the fall depending on what I find and what I feel like.

Please don't hate me!!!!!! I really do like the Celi but need my speed fix since my "fast" car is still perpetually broke.

Sounds like you're a perfect candidate for a 3SGTE swap...

It's still FWD even after a swap.

fastbird i don't hate you kid... i have come to the conclusion that i need a new car .. i love my celi to and after thinking about all my options its just better to get something new with more power out of the box... good luck kid.. hope you get what you want ..

I say go for it. I love my Celica for what it is, a compromise. It's a compromise for me between the family sedan and a true sports car. If you can afford what you want and don't need it to fill any other roles (like school bus) then do it. You'll be happier in the end having something that performs the way you want it too without any monkeying around with it.

Man your car looks really clean, so you will have no problem selling it. But too bad it gets the boot from your stock of 5 cars. No way it could be the least desirable car you own.

I'd say he's the perfect candidate for a REAL "driver's car". After driving a mid-engined, RWD, 2-seater, turbo car (you guessed it... mkII mr2) I was HOOKED. A swapped celica can be fun, but it's in no comparison to a true sports car. It's why instead of a 3s swap, I'll be buying a Mk2 Mr2 for fun/speed and keeping the celica for daily driving.
