hey...i think i said that quote! anyway, i was faced with the same decision a few weeks back. the gsx is a great car and perfect car to tune. the only real bad thing is crankwalk and the fact that you may be forced to swap your engine anyway. you have to look at how much time, money and effort you have invested into your celica already and how much more you are willing to put in. in my case, my car looks nothing like it did the day i bought it. people drool over it anywhere i drive. the only thing i didnt like about it was the lack of power, so i decided to buy a 3sgte. so now it will have the go for the show. i know it will never be awd, but awd, rwd and fwd all have their drawbacks. anyone can go out and buy a gsx, but only you can build the car of your dreams. think about it this way, would you get more props for having a gsx or a turbo celica that you built? dont get me wrong...i LOVE DSMs. they are the best bang for the buck. anyway...the choice is yours. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
