I'm not a real big fan of camaro's, but from a totally objective point of view, I would have to say you made the right choice. I mean, 26 large sounds REALLY steep for a celica. I mean my car new was 25 large and it came with 42 more horsepower, 2 more doors, room for 3 more chicks and so on. Considering your car would run circles around a celica GT-S action, I would say you made the right choice.

Also, the fact that I have no regrets and love my car to death is an added bonus

They make an Altima SE-R? Damn you NSX, now I have another project to get started on... Turbo 240, to really rub it in!

Nissan makes many trims of their cars. for example, the sentra comes in gxe=base model, se=sport edition (usually has spoiler and more option) and se-r= this has the skyline style body. the se-r comes in two models: their basic se-r and the se-r v spec. The v-spec has a lot of balls. It has a 170 hp engine with 180-190ft/lbs of torque. Thats the sentra. the altima is the next car in nissan's line-up. base model is a 2.5 litre. then there is the 2.5s, which has more options. And finally there is the 3.5 SE (se means sports edition). this car has 240 hp, with 222ft/lbs of torque(I think). and now the flagship......maxima. three basic models also, gxe=base,se=sports edtion, and gle=luxury edition. the 03' produces 255 hp out of its 3.5 VQ35DE engine. this is the same engine used for the 350Z. but for me i have a 98, so im stuck with a 190hp,205ft/lbs engine. i dont mind though cuz pretty soon il be supercharged and putting 260 at my wheels . ill be classy yet fast.

Holly cow the GTS with the action package costs 26K. That is a rip-off. The new 350z is suposed to start at that price and that would murder a GTS so bad it woud not even be funny.

i dunno if thats what markup was or what, but 26k is too goddamn much for a celica. Ive seen 2000 audi S4s for around that. you could get a used S2000 for that. all of these would rape a GTS

You could buy a lot of cars that would give it in the ass to a celica GTS. WRX, new maxima, new altima, fully equipped 'stang GT, bare bones new 350Z, a used mercedes C36 or C43......the list goes on.

You (used to be able to anyways) buy a new bone stock Z28 with the basics for 23-24 grand. and yes, my friends gt-s was 25 grand and some change, loaded. purty steep indeed for what it is....4cyl. FWD car that cant break out of the 15's stock. The autos actually run a 16.1 in the quarter by the way. My friends had the "auto-stick" (automatic with the push-button gear selection option) purty cool, but still not worth the $$$

bobo you sound stupid
I hardly ever have to rev my engine up off the line but I still can launch off at close to 3000rpm in first gear and I can red line going into second and/or third gear in an automatic. I to have a co worker at one of my jobs that wants to race and he has a 02 Celica. The last time we tried to race it was in a mall parking lot and it was a terrible place to race since the mall had just closed and we had to watch out for cars and pedestrians not along security, but I will say that during the short race the Celica did pretty good, but at the same time one of the other co-workers had a race between a Ford Mustang V-6, Ford Lightening, and a Celica the Celica was left way behind and the Lightening only won because he used his NOS and I know my Max can whoop a V-6 Mustang with a car load of people and a full sound system because I did it.
