I don't know dude. Its funny you post this, I JUST drove a friends brand new Scion Tc RS 2.0 in that same color today when I was at work. To me it felt like a stock 6th gen with just more bulk to it, and brand new.
Its definately a neat and cool car and all, but for the money you spend on the payments theres soooo many better cars out there that will be lighter on the wallet and much more fun to drive. I got into my Celica after driving the Scion and theres no comparison- Celica is better hands down, dollar for dollar. After you get over all the simple little "Gee Whiz" features of a new Scion, you're left with a characteristic strikingly close to that of a stock 6th gen GT Hatchback, except theres more sportiness and less bulk in the 6th gen IMO. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

I own both - not an RS but that's only looks anyway. My friend owns an RS so I've seen what little difference there is. The tC does feel alot like a Celica but weighs more and with better options. After you get over the newness of it though the Celica looks alot better IMO. I'd say in your situation get the tC as a new car will probably make you feel pretty good and it will be alot faster than your ST. Against a GT though the differences in speed change. My tC has a short ram and exhaust and is waaaaay slower than my GT. Both are manual and it's pretty obvious to me that the difference is in the weight.
However the SC is a good and easy way to gain some HP numbers and would probably be more bang for the buck than a 4A swap. Get the tC or wait until you hae enough money to own both and swap you're Celica and DD your tC. that's my current plan. --------------------  |

why out of state? (drtweak?)
Sean at central florida performance will do the swap, he is a celica, toyota fanatic. www.centralflperform.com altho' that tc looks good! Teh toyotas can go 500,000 on the chassis easliy in florida. the chassis isn't a wear part, the bushing struts and such are. i don't know of anyone with the 6speed either!
