No not really… the gts to the gt… depending on which one you go with… like did it have the I forget what they call the body kit and wing… something like the actio n package or something? It will cost a decent amount… I know a few people who are parting out 7th gen celicas.
Celica gts has a really good engine in it… it has lift which is very similar to vtech its a 6spd and its 180hp NA… some motor thats in the Lotus elise… with bolt ons alot of people take them into the mid 14s… there pretty cool cars… the draw backs are you have to use 91-93 octane because there really high compression motors. But like every other toyota they sell there resell value is really high. I am not just saying go toyota because well… thats what I take prefference to but in my opinion its going to be your best buy.
