Okay here is the deal:

I have a Silver Celica GT (143 hp) 6sp 2000 with just minor mods.
A few days when purchasing some parts at the dealer
I saw a 2001 red Celica GT-S (192 hp)!!! Wow, that car just looked brand new.

Add an intake&TRD exhaust=wow, over 200 hp!!!

The only difference between the GT and the GT-S
here in europe is the engine, nothing else....

Money is not a really a object but, I think
the trade will cost me like 4000-5000 USD.
I just can

A lot of people here traded up their GT's and autos for the 6 speed GT-S. I say go for it. VVTL is such an euphoric feeling.

Since its gonna cost 4 to 5 grand to upgrade to a gt-s, keep your gt and take that 4-5grand to turbo it.

If your interested in doing serious mod work I'd keep the GT. Did you swap in a 6-spd on your GT or is it a 5-spd?

No, the 6sp gearbox comes as stock on the GT.
