I have a 94 Celica ST auto coupe super white with 101K on it and racking up about 300 miles a week... I am thinking about customizing it but when I looked over this site there is not a whole lot I can do to it to make the car better overall (performance, looks, and overall enjoyment...). So should I keep this car or should I try and get one of these cars...:
- Pontiac Firebird base
- Firebird Formula
- Firebird Trans Am WS6 ram air package
- Camaro Base
- Camaro z28
- Camaro SS

Why did I choose those car... because I want a car that is fast and fun to drive... I want the power and looks of a VETTE! and the Celica ST auto base can't give me that and neither can the celica st auto customized.

So what do yal think...?

My dad had a V6 Camaro in 95'...he got the smaller engine cuz he commuted alot, and then he kicked himself in the ass cuz its not that fast. Vette power is exactly that, VETTE power, not F/B and Camaro.
Theres a reason they stopped production.

How can you say that there's not a lot to make the car better overall? To turn your car into a Camaro/Firebird killer, there's the 3S-GTE swap. To make it look better than the cars listed, you can keep it stock. >> To make it look even better, there are lots of kits available for the car, though I'll admit, most of the best ones are from Japan and are very hard to get and very expensive. To make overall enjoyment better, there is so much to do with the car. Suspension, engine, exterior, interior, audio, etc.

Maybe you're just under-estimating the options for the sixth generation Celica. If I were you, I'd definitely keep your car...reliability is better, it's more unique, it looks better in my opinion, etc. But that's just me. >> Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

I have over 10 friends with camaros and every single one of them hate it. They love it for a week, realize its Sh!tty and then beat the living hell out of it. The only person I know who has a camaro and likes it is my mechanic, and he has 5 67-69 camaro ss's each pushing about 500hp. If your not gonna get a trans am (loaded, or a vette, I wouldnt go american. Although there is that new ford mustang with 500hp and a supercharger, or you can get the good ole' ford GT for 100k.

So how would I make my Celica ST auto 94 into a camaro or firebird killer withOUT the engine swap... I don't want to swap the engine until the car has been taken beyond repair (like engine lock up or something)... Well...

Read the thread I made about turboing a 4agze. For well under five grand, you could have an engine that would run easy 13's to low 12's. In other words, you could twist off your drive shafts if you wanted to.

Plus, if you sold your car, you'd still have to pour in about five grand to get a camaro\firebird. Why not have a beast of a sleeper???

If you're not happy with the ST auto and you don't want to put $5000-10000 into it, I suggest you sell it and buy a the 3s-ge or even better still get a GT4 or Supra >>

Maybe those ideals would work... honestly fira... I would not listen to these stupid people because they couldn't even help me with my security lock mechanism for the trunk of my car... and they didn't know that toyota put ECT dual mode auto into all celicas from 94-99, so take what you hear them say on a wing and a prayer... I personally will and hopefully soon be getting a Firebird Trans Am ram air equipped car soon... So if I where you I goto LS1.com and see what they have to say about these crappy tail imports.

People that think imports are crappy are obviously stupid people. Imagine where this world would be with out imports. We would all be driving 454 big blocks and sucking down gas like it was water. Japanese technology has greatly advanced where we are in the automobile world today. Don't trash imports.

ok if you have to question if you should get another car especially if you are looking into domestics then i suggest you go for a domestic! and plus you should really look into what a celica can do..especially with a engine swap!

I would also check with your insurance agent, those (or Vettes or Mustangs) are not all that cheap to insure, especially with a V8 or performance model

I don't understand how someone like you ended up with a Celica. Normally someone with a Celica would want to move up to a Supra/300zx/350z/RX-8/RX-7. You seem destined for American Muscle. Just go buy it and leave us alone.

Any of the cars above are 100 times classier than a Firebird or Camaro, and a helluva lot more rare. Myself I'm buying a 300zx next summer...as a summer car. My Celica is being kept as a winter car. It has 98,000 miles on it, and it still starts like brand new. So why get rid of it?

okay lets say that I have decided to go the looks department first... I want to make my car look better, but I don't want the super low z-glide kit (around here I have to do to much driving over speed bumps and steep driveways) but I want to make it more aggressive... So how can I do that...

Then I am probably going to go the engine swap if I can save up enough money and find someone to swap my engine that I feel knows what they are doing (because you can't take it to the dealership right?)... I am probably going to get a 3sgte, 3sge, or (an ugly) 4agze...

What do yal think?...

You do realize that these are just bolt on modifications correct? I am not going to go into detail explaining things. Try using the 'search' button. It helps.
