Default Celica to Z

Hi Im new to this forum. i just got a 03 silverstone track Z MT on sunday and traded in my auto celica gts. This Z is so fast compared to the slowica and also i like the looks a lot more. Best change ever.

Well, I started with a 94 beaten civic. Did it up. Then ended up with an 01 infiniti I30. Now I've got my Z. Seems like I did that out of order huh? lol I figured I'd get my midlife crisis out of the way early, so I wont have to buy a Porsche later.

Good choice on the Z. Especially with the tranny choice also (much more fun IMO). Welcome to the board.

yea my gf, has a black 2000 auto gt, and that thing is incredibly slow compared to the z, although it has some pull higher up in the power band. its a good little car, that has held up very well, but of course comparing the z and celica is apples and oranges.

Wow, I had a red 2000 celica gts as well, now own a black 350z. The strong point of the celica was the handling, but the z blows it away.

What'd you expect with your friend running nitrous?
Couldn't tell from your signature but I assume your Z was stock...

Nice choice. I also used to have 6speed 2000 Celica GT-S. Fun little car, but the Z is heaven.

i dunno about you guys, but i notice the only people that consistantly check out my z are driving either a celica or a mitsu eclipse. neither one a bad car, but sometimes they have a very sad "aww, i wish i was driving that" look on their face.

then again, i check out the m3s and porsches all the time...
