Whats the 0-60 with sportshift or automatic? toyota claims its the same as manual but I doubt it

its the same as a manual gt i think. so whatever that is Your talking about a gts with sportshift right?

yes sorry, i was looking at getting a GTS but it's hard to find one with a manual trans, i'd obviously prefer a manual for the obvious reasons but all that seems to be for sale around here is automatics or sportshifts, i want one so bad that i guess i could setlle for a sportshift so long as they have the same 0-60 and 1/4 mile time

use cars.com or autotrader and even find one 100 miles away from u
dont get an automatic get a manual so much better

yea i used cars.com, autotrader, autonation, cardirect, autofocuschicago

well you can find them in chicago just look for a longer period of time.. and the auto is not nearly as fast as the 6spd

here you go 02 red 6spd http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp...leadExists=true [cars.com] its located in Libertyville

thanks for the effort, but i checked that one one nearly a month ago, the story behind it's low cost due to eyear mileage and model, is because the seller and car are both in romainia ... lol

lol ok everyone stop harping on getting a manual If the man likes auto go for it. Prob just afraid of getting ridiculed Either way, does anyone know that times for it, i am curious now too

no my current car is an sts automatic is sooo boring ugh plus manual gets btter mpg and its faster sounds like plus plus plus to me, the only way i'd see anyone ever getting automatic is if... lol can't think of anything (besides being a woman ohhhhhhhhh)

lol awsome bro. well if a manual is what you want then just wait till one comes around. dont settle for sportshift becsaue it cant compare

you need an auto if you have one leg

dont go auto man.. i know how it feels cause when i was looking for a GTS 6spd, it was alll automatics that were posted. But... i found a couple Gluck

i dont think so...

manual gt's own auto gts.

oh well, learn somehting new. It was jsut an guess, hence the "i think" Do you happen to know what the times are though??

sooo no one knows the 0-60 or 1/4 mile times for sport shift gts'????

that's not necessarily true. point and case is the GT (not sure if this applies to the GTS). the auto GT gets better mileage than the manual GT. not much, but still it's like 29-33 for the manual and like 32-36 for the auto.

I have yet to find a car magazine that has actually tested a auto GTS, so there is no 'official' numbers anywhere!

But if you look at the 1/4 mile registry here and other Celica forums, they are consitantly running about 16.5 to 16.8 in the 1/4 mile stock. So that would put 0-60 roughly at 8.5 seconds. You waste so much HP to the wheels with auto and even more importantly torque, so that's why it so slow.

They won't order you one?

can't afford to order a new one, strict $12k max budget with finacing so basically i need a dealer that is selling a used gts for $12k or less, and all i can find are automanuals and private sellers for my price :-/
